January 2015 Photo Competition

The topic for this month is:

Bridges

One area of photography where I can claim some small degree of expertise! Your entries can be anything you like but must contain all or part of at least one bridge smile

This thread is for entries AND discussion

Good Luck!

Cheers, Mike.



Rules:

The photos taken must be your own work
The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month.
The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for following month and judges it at the end of the month

All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
Photos entered should be no bigger than 750 pixels wide for a landscape photo and 600 pixels high for a portrait photo due to the PH squash factor. Links to larger versions are permissible.

djsmith74 said:
- one of my early favorites, maybe could have stood a touch longer exposure? Great shot anyway smile

ecsrobin said:
- I'm a sucker for star trails and this is a beauty! Maybe could have tried a bit of light painting on the side of the bridge to lighten it a bit? smile

- Rob, it's only a little one but it's cute biggrin

Love the symmetry in the composition and the lights through the mist in the distance. Superb clapclapclap



Oh and PS - could all those with thumbsnap accounts please get onto Flickr or 500px or something! Thumbsnap is making your fantastic pictures look soft (at least to my eye). Cheers smile
