Zeeland Bridge at Moonlight

We waited till it was nearly dark. We had a clear sky and the full moon lit the bridge. I enhanced a bit the light on the bridge to obtain a bigger contrast between the bridge and its environnement.

Astrophotography Tryout Number 1
Zeelandbrug
by Alec Lux

Remember, a while ago, I posted a composed astrophotography shot. So here I am with my real first tryout. I went to the Zeeland bridge with a friend, we were prepared for it. This location isn’t the best for that, too much light pollution, but it is ok for a start. Luckily I had my Haida Clear Night Filter, which made it possible to filter a part of the light pollution. After a few calculations, I normally should have taken the shots at 30s, but I saw there was too much ambient light. I decided to try it with 15s. I still have many stars. I composed 150 shots to obtain the star trails, I’m happy with the result. Also, I never make shots without thinking about my framing, which makes a medium shot a little bit better. And to finish this result, we took an extra shot with some red light on the bridge. Woohoow. All negative comments are welcome, I still have a lot to learn in this kind of photography. It was a great experience, the magic happens when you step out of your comfort zone.

Every time I go to the zeeland bridge, I always have a complete different atmosphere. The sun was just under, water was pretty calm. What a splendid reflection.

AAAaaaaaa
Zeeland Bridge
by Alec Lux

I have seen several shots of this iconic location under the Zeeland bridge (Netherlands). I always wanted to have my version of it. If we stand perfectly in the middle and on the right level, we can see through the arches of the bridge. Not an easy job for the perfect composition.

Sunrise at the Zeelandbrug

A clear sky didn't look too promising for a nice sunrise shot, well, until I saw the blood red sun rise out of the sea. Difficult to photograph but amazingly beautiful to see, and I hope I managed to convey that here.

This is the second time I went to the Zeeland bridge in a short period. I absolutely wanted to go to the other side to catch some sunset shots. Here is the result. The wind stood completely still in the evening. It is a 6min long exposure and the clouds didn't move at all.
