Great shots. You should shoot them in the morning as someone else said too.

Great! I really liked the second one! Would have perhaps tried to get rid rid of the smaller light posts from the outside of the bridge though.

I know there must be some creative way of shooting these two bridges near where I live. I shot HDR images (9 shots, D7000, from -4 to +3.5), using Nik HDR software.

I'm not really looking for HDR haters...my whole purpose of shooting grungy bridges was for the effect.

I'm not really happy with the results, mostly because I couldn't seem to find an creative angle or perspective. How would you shoot something like this? What angles might I try. These things are near me so I can go back every day to get it right. I know there is a picture in there somewhere! The bridges are sandwiched in between lanes of an interstate highway, so getting angles is difficult.

Thanks for your thoughts.

we did this before - same three shots - same question - same answer from me - I don't live there - therefore i have no clue how I might hypothetically approach a subject I've never worked with before - you need a new perspective? Stead of asking for folks here to point one out to ya why don't ya go back and figure it our for yourself - then show us what you came up with.

I really like the second one. Not sure if the lights are ever on but it would be neat if you could get one with the lights on and have the light "starburst", not sure if this is the right term, but somehow showing the light glow.

Here's an idea for you. If you are using a tripod, this works really well. There is a program called Corel PaintShop Pro X4 that I use, and if you shoot 3 separate photos, one with the light meter reading, one over exposed and one underexposed. This program will merge the 3 (or up to 9) frames, and give you the best of all 3 images. When you open the program, it shows you your photos in Thumbnails at the bottom of the working area. You can select which ones you want, then select the "HDR" from the menu and go from there. Takes just a few minutes and it works great. Using a tripod eliminates any misalignment in the various photos. I bought this program for #39.00 and it's worth every penny!
