Behind The Lens

Location

The famous bridge "Le Pont de Normandie" is a new crossing facility for the heavy traffic over the river The Seine at its estuarium near the harbourcity Le Havre- on the French coast. Taken from the bridge across the traffic to the restarea

Time

The Photo was taken around midday

Lighting

Its was quite hazy and very grey so I had to adjust to metering only the bridge and traffic itself to get at least some contrast in that

Equipment

Camera was the Nikon 800E with the Tamron 150-600

Inspiration

Being a fervent traveller along the French coast I often passed the bridge thinking about taking a picture- with the new Tamron in possession I planned my spot but unfortunately the wheather was not that good but still it worked out I guess

Editing

yep, through Lightroom I put more contrast in it

In my camera bag

Nikon 800E/14-24/28-300/150-600 (if going by car as its weight is too much a burden to carry around)

Feedback

The lens in this one made the effect- it pushes the bridge into a steep hill
