This is a 5 exposure (-2.0, -1.0, 0.0, +1.0,+2.0) HDR image of the Strawberry Mansion Bridge that crosses the Schuylkill River in Fairmount Park west of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.Time
I captured this image just after sunset on January 23, 2010 after spending the day in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was a very pleasant evening for January and I couldn't believe how calm the water was. The conditions were absolutely perfect for capturing the bridge's reflection. I have not seen it like that since.Lighting
Natural light from the setting sun. The angle was perfect.Equipment
A Nikon D300 with my Nikor 18-200 VR lens. (18mm, f/4, 1/15 sec, ISO 400).Inspiration
The natural lighting and fantastic reflection inspired me to stop and take this image.Editing
I post processed this image in HDR using Photomatix Pro 3.0, and minor editing in Adobe Photoshop 9.0.In my camera bag
I always have my camera, now a Nikon D7200, and Nikor 18-200 or Nikor 18-300 VR lens ready in my car for any sudden inspirations.Feedback
Check it out next time you are in Philadelphia. Any time and any season will do. Enjoy the moment and have fun.
