Wells Street Bridge
It's always good to be patient, right? Well I can tell you that I was running out of it pretty quickly that evening! To execute my plan from the N Wells St bridge was bordering impossible. Constant traffic on the bridge, the trains running on top of it every 20 sec, it makes it so hard to bracket shots at this hour that I wanted to quit after 15 min. Anyway, two hours later and a full 128GB memory card I was able to cover the dynamic range needed and get 6 sharp exposures to finish this peace. I was shooting with the 24mm tilt-shift lens, shifting the lens up to get the right perspective and frame the most of the buildings. What do you think?
Bridge lifting anyone? Ever since I came to Chicago I’ve been planning to capture this event and every year I forget! Finally after multiple reminders by the people I know and a few device reminders I got out with my wife to photograph the event today and we had a blast. Since we did’t know how the schedule works and how fast they will open the bridges we had to run around, real hard! I’m very excited to share this with you. What do you think?
Thanks to all Phoide contributors to Wells Street Bridge!
