Gateway Bridge, Brisbane

Hi all,

Here are some shots of the Gateway Bridge I took last night. First time in a long time I have tried this type of shot, (long exposure) so please crituque away.

Thanks Geoff

Nice images - difficult shots. Exposure is always going to be an issue, but you have done relatively well.

#1 is probably my pick because it is the most interesting, but it is a tad overexposed in the whites.

However, I do like #2 for different reasons. It shows the tree-lined 12th and 17th fairways at RQ. I'm surprised by how much illumination reaches the areas surrounding the bridge.

Thanks for showing.

It almost looks likej daytime in some areas of the park around the bridge -must be a lot of lights.

I like #1 the best, its got that classic landscape composition. But all three appear to have blown highlights fromt the lights and the white expanse of concrete on the bridge.

i would have taken some at a faster speed.

The white parts of the bridge seem to have blown out and in the third shot you can see it's affecting the colour of the sky.

Just bracket like crazy and your get a few shots that have great colour and saturation.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I have had another play with the images to try and reduce the blown highlights, but was not happy with the results. Will have to revisit and try again. All these exposures were around 20 seconds @ f10. Next time I will vary the exposure times and hopefully get some better results.
