Behind The Lens
Location
The bridge is located next to one of the major highways in the Orange Free State in South Africa.Time
It was taken at 1:30pmLighting
It was taken in full midday sunlight, which I think helped to get the contrast.Equipment
i used a Conon 450D with a 18-55mm kit lense. Hand held, no flashInspiration
As a child growing up and through my young adult life I have driven past this bridge and always knew that one day I would stop and take a photograph. After many years and eventually taking up photography as a hobby that I stopped and took the photograph.Editing
There was some post processing, converted it to black and white. Leveled the horizon. Cropped it inIn my camera bag
I have upgraded my camera to a 70D, and normally have a 10-24mm, 18-135mm and my favourite 50-250mm lense. If I am doing some wildlife I will take along my Sigma 150-500mm lenseFeedback
Get low to include some of the tracks and stones. If you see something that captures your eye, don't wait years to take the shot. I have been back to the bridge and it has subsequently been painted and has lost so much of the charm, so don't wait as the shot might not be there next time
