Drove by this bridge and had to turn back to capture it. Loved the colour contrasts.

Behind The Lens

Location

There's not as lot to say, I'm afraid. I was traveling down the Island highway and this bridge caught my eye. It was parallel to the highway. I turned back, found the access road and parked. The one lane access road was one that had a tight blind corner where a sign said to honk your horn to signal to unseen vehicles approaching the opposing way. I had no horn at the time so it was a bit hair raising. What struck me about this bridge and surrounding area was the contrasting colours. A deep brown, almost black and vibrant orange. A recent rainfall gave the bridge a finishing shine. I used leading lines and rule of thirds.

Time

Late afternoon.

Lighting

A cloudy day gave a pleasing luminescence to the atmosphere.

Equipment

I used an Olympus EM5 Mii(micro four thirds sensor) with a 12-45 mm pro Olympus lens. No tripod. f/2.8, 1/60th, ISO 160, 12mm(24 mm equivalent)

Inspiration

When something catches my eye, it's usually right. There's a good photo somewhere in there.

Editing

Lightroom edits- grad filters, clarity, some sharpening, a little vibrancy.

In my camera bag

Back then, I only had the 1 Olympus, the pro lens, a 40-100mm m43 lens, and a Canon t3i with a couple lenses. Now I have an Olympus EM1 Mii, with additional 100-400 mm m43 Panasonic and 7-14 mm pro Olympus m43 lenses, and a Sony A7R with a 28-70 lens.
