Photo of the Week 79 – Pike Bridge Re-Visited
Filed Under Photography on August 24, 2009 at 9:17 pm
If this week’s instalment reminds you a lot of last week’s, that’s no coincidence, this week’s shot is also of Pike’s Brige, and also shot at the same time of day, the so-called golden hour around sunset. There are some marked differences though, last week’s shot was taken into the sun, this week’s is taken with the sun directly behind the camera – meaning this is the opposite side of the bridge. Although the conditions look identical, the shots were actually taken two days apart.

I like the color transition from the blue sky to the brown bridge and green trees. The road seems to lead the eyes to the “hole” created by the bridge and its reflection–interesting.
