It was the same date but different time when I took the photos of St. Paul and Minneapolis Cities. It was my project then. One was taken in the night and this one was taken in the morning. They have different temperature. I know the Artic cold has something to do with the color that appeared on the bridges photo of mine.

Location
This photo was taken at Mineapolis, Minnesota, USA. The bridge is called Arch Bridge.Time
It was taken at 7:48:22 AM in a Frigid Frozen Tundra time of the year!Lighting
It was winter time and the sun seldom shine. All the lights utilized was just coming from the buildings and some lights in the city. However I set my camera into slow shutter speed so I exposed details in the sky.Equipment
Tripod, canon Camera Eos 5D Mark II, and release.Inspiration
How can anyone missed to photograph this most photographed bridge in Minnesota, USA. It is just like missing one half of your life.The bridge tied up already to the people's lives living in the city. When their ancestors arrived in the place they build that bridge. I love also the location of that bridge because it is pointing to the city.Editing
Yes I used the google HDR and process in Photoshop. I took 3 exposures.In my camera bag
Tripod, my cameras and lenses are mounted already to the cameras. Canon Remote shutter release TC80N3.Feedback
First plan your shooting. Know the season, if it is winter you need to wear more warm clothes to protect you from the severe cold. Have mittens, wear boats, and please consider putting hand warmer or foot warmer in your list. Wear winter hat, face mask and whatever you think may help you a lot in the very frigid winter. Second try to scout the place. When you arrive in the place try to look for possibilities, angle, framing, and try to include things you think would enhance your shots, and try to avoid things that would detract your viewer's attention from your subject. Bring also with you the lens cloth, fogs are really big obstruction in winter season. So to help clear your lens try using it. Put your camera in your tripod it will help to minimize fuzzy images. CLICK! Then you are good to go!
