Location
This is the Yaquina Bay Bridge. It was taken from the Northern side of the bridge facing south. In Newport Oregon.Time
It was late in the afternoon early evening.Lighting
There was no sun. The fog was rolling in and out of the Bay. Late afternoon too early evening.Equipment
This was taken with my older canon rebel t3i using the 18-55mm lens. No trip pod. I positioned my car by the side of the road, using the roof as a tri pod for some shots. This was free hand.Inspiration
My friends and fellow photographer and I took a coastal drive from Coos Bay Oregon to Lincoln City Oregon. We both are into outdoor photography. The nice thing about a coastal Drive is you never know what you will see, where you will stop, or what your lens will capture. We were in Newport Oregon going north on the 101, shooting "South to North" as the fog kept "rolling" in and out of the bay. Then it was abruptly gone. (I may have posted some of these in my portfolio.) When we reached the north side of the bridge we had "scoped" out a few areas to take photos on the return trip hoping to find some different angles, different lighting, as the sun was going to set. Maybe even catch the sun rays thru structure or a setting sun. We have taken quite a few photos of the architectural structure of this bridge. And it has always fascinated me. So imagine my surprise when we were headed home, and by a sheer whim, we decide to pull off and drive under the bridge. I was ecstatic to find that it was over half engulfed into fog. It just disappeared. I had only hoped it would translate, what I was seeing with my eye, through the camera lens. There were so many photos that came out so well, but this one is my personal favorite. I was afraid that the photo would be stolen so I water marked it. This was the best photo we had taken that evening, and only mine came out this well. This photo is for sale. With a very discreet right-hand lower watermark.Editing
This photo is as was taken. Au natural. No enhancements. Only straightened and cropped.In my camera bag
That year I only had a 18-55 mm lens, and a 75-300 lens, and a tripod.Feedback
Try going back and taking the same photo over and over at different times of the day. Capturing it in different lighting, using different lenses, freehand, or with a tripod. Even in different settings. If it is architecture you love it knows no season. And you could just find yourself in the right place at the right time. Getting that one shot to proudly display on your wall.
