The Bridge Behind You

Bridge to Mo's, April 10, 2009
Mo's Restaurant, Lincoln City, Oregon
Nikon D80, Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 @ 70mm, f/4.0, 1/160s, ISO 400
Developed in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.3, Camera D2X Mode 2 profile

I like this shot. It was a throw-away; as the wife and I walked to Mo's I turned around and thought that the bridge looked interesting so I snapped a single photo. Didn't worry about the settings on the camera, or the fact that I still had a neutral grad on the lens. (Though the GND was certainly helpful.) Regardless, it turned out beautifully. My tweaks in Lightroom were subtle but extensive. I'm loving the new localized corrections, they saved the sky from being blown out.

This bridge was of dubious stability. As we walked across it, it was very bouncy, and some of the boards felt squishy.
