Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No 7

Excellent Subject!

OK here is my one, for those who havent seen this when I posted it last year, what you can see here is the result of light pollution. In the UK sodium lamps are used to light the majority of towns and the town causing this orange glow is around 4 to 5 miles away!

A long exposure exagerates the effect over this little bridge

Had to search hard to find one.
This is a section of Gateshead Milenium Bridge, shot a longwhile back with my compact.

An interesting and different take on the regular shots of it Tom

Something for our four footed friends - a rope bridge

Hi Tim, this has the feel of a projected slide

And is that a good or a bad thing, in your opinion..?

Still, at least it's not Uncle John mowing the lawn last June, or even worse......a set of sales stats for the month ending November 2006

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No 7

Ok, I don't think I stand a chance. But here. This is an older photo of mine. Taken early last year some time.




This will teach me to never pass a moment. Once, on this same bike trail that I took this shot from, I was biking on my way to work and running late. And the scene I passed was the other side of this bridge, was all the arches of the bridge. This bridge was made with arches set up looking like dominos ready to be tips. Well while I was biking past that morning the times was just right that the sun was glinting off the river up into the arches and it made them look lit with the most amazing silvery gold ripples all the way down.


I didn't get the picture cause I though I'd end up late for work. I never saw it do that again.

My interpretation (also two for the price of one) .....

The Bridge of Specs across the Bridge of Nose.

Congratulations Audrey on your win

BTW, this is a great theme. I should think it will attract plenty of interest.

My entry is a scene from Venice, which features the obligatory bridge in addition to some other, Venice-y stuff. Shot late in the afternoon, this one has been processed to exaggerate both colour and contrast, but otherwise it's pretty much as I saw it.

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No 7

My first entry in these. A bit of a tourist snap though most of them don't stop to see this particular view.

Spot on. Top of the Eye. Had to work hard to make sure there were no reflections.

Assuming that you already know it's a shot of London, featuring Westminster Bridge, the South Bank and of course the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben......it looks to me as if he took it from one of the capsules on board the London Eye.

(If Josh now announces that he took it from a hot-air balloon or a helicopter, I'll be slightly embarrassed, but the vantage point is exactly where the London Eye is located )

This was taken on the River Medway at Teston , the stone bridge dates from the 13th century .
