A long (150 second) exposure beneath the twin Shoalhaven River bridges taken just on sunset using the B+W ten stop ND filter...

That is beautiful. I can see it as a large fine print...on Hannemulle matte paper......1 metre x 2 metre and sympathetically framed. No one could walk past it without falling in love with it.

Noice! Any detail to be had under the bridges??

A fine example of b&w landscape shining.
Complex but simple, geometric.. yet not quite.

Simply stunning Rodney! I love the tones and contrast!

I could be articulate or even a little anally retentive like matt's comment...but i will just say this....

B A D A S S !!!!!

Nice shot, and having lived in Nowra (now a long time ago) I've never seen a picture of the bridges from this angle - or the clever use of the ND.

Thanks Matt

Probably - I was protecting the bright highlights of the sky when I shot it tho - I've already done a bit of shadow recovery on this version (globally) but I expect I could do some more locally just under the bridges

Thanks Craig (I grew up here - I still remember when it was just the one bridge - my parents still live in Bomaderry)

Very nice indeed. It must have been exceptionally still at the time.

Thanks Ozi - I can't remember specifically... probably

Someone else suggested I crop the image to remove the distracting pilon on the left - I compromised with a little cropping and a little cloning with the following (plus for Suren extracted a little more detail under the bridges ) - thoughts?

I like the new one every better! (I lived in Jasmine Drive in Bomaderry and Berry Street in Nowra) way back in '85-89.

I looked at this yesterday, but didn't comment since I had nothing to add, but I must say the revised crop makes a great image signifcantly better

Yes the rework gains a bit more!

Superb image.
