The famous illuminated Toome Bridge in Co. Antrim taken at night with an ultra wide angle 10mm lens complete with light trails from a passing truck. I had been shooting for half an hour then realised that to exploit the power of this lens I had to get up close and personal to my subject which is the only way to use an ultra wide angle lens. For this image I was open at 10mm and standing very close to the bridge and extremely close to the edge of the busy motorway which was quite unnerving and definitely dangerous so I had to be careful while watching my settings and the environment around me, I was wearing a reflective jacket and was pretty sure the drivers passing me thought I was the Police using a speed gun as several of them slowed down wondering what they may have done wrong. The above image was my best shot of the session and my best Toome bridge image to date and I was rather pleased with it to say the least, taken on November 6th 2012, , read the full image report from this night here. * All images are available for sale in the form of photo prints, canvas or digital files for licensing, if you are interested in a purchase simply drop me an email. |
