Zierikzee

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.

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.

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.

Third time I went to this bridge. Wanted to take some more different views of it. While driving around, we found this spot. It's not my best shot, but there is an interesting atmosphere.

Third time I went to this bridge. Wanted to take some more different views of it. This time we had some nice cloudformations and, a little wind, and a fantastic sunset. Just perfect for the long exposure shots.
