Challenge: Bridges II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon D70
Location: Bare Island
Date: Feb 15, 2005
Aperture: F/4
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/1250

Date Uploaded: Feb 12, 2005

 After shooting 4 marvellously engineered bridges I decided to go low-tech and went down to Bare Island at La Perouse where they shot "Mission Impossible2".

You can see Tom Cruise doing a cycle stunt on this bridge at: //www.aquaticexplorers.com.au/gallery/album04/mi4

PS-CS work was minimal. Levels, Contrast, USM, selectively desat & re-size.

Nice composition, textures and tone. I think it would have been better fully desaturated -- I find the remaining patches of brown detract rather than add to the picture.

A very good desaturation effect. Nicely sharp and a great pattern created.

Love the repeating patterns in this. Still haven't decided if the brown spots are a distraction or a focal point yet though....8.

lovely tone in the first piling, why de-sat the rest?

Not the greatest perspective... too strait on. Good details though: wood in varying states of decay, the stains from the iron bolts. Not bad.

Good eye for texture and a different angle than most bridge pictures

I'm not sure wih you left such a small amount of color into an almost entirely desaturated image. It's fairly distracting.

Nice use of selective saturating. Good perspective on the structure itself. Good focus.

Love the composition but I would have preferred pure black and white, I think.

I like the angle and the textures, but the brown here and there is a little distracting.
