A couple years ago I received the wrong order from one of the popular on-line photography stores. The picture I received was of downtown Cincinnati - Ever since then I have wanted to go back and shoot some pictures myself. I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity on October 15th - This is one of my favorites from that night - comments welcome - thanks for looking..
Pentax K-30
30 Second exposure - ISO 100 - 18MM - F20
Tripod and 2 sec timer
Taken from the Covington KY side of the Bridge on the pedestrian walkway
Second photo - F 16 at 36 MM - Barge passing through shot during 30 second exposure...

IIRC, this was "practice" for the Brooklyn Bridge, built by the same guy.

Thanks for the kind words! It is really rewarding when you wait for a couple years for an opportunity and it all comes together - Thanks for taking the time to view and comment!!

That is great information -thanks for taking the time to comment. The murals on the Kentucky side of the river show the bridge in its early years - a really great place to spend an evening or two!

Nicely done, Chuck! I especially like the 2nd one with the passing barge. I've shot that bridge a few times, and shot the Cincinnati Reds post-game fireworks FROM that bridge near the Kentucky end once. Photos on my Flickr site:

Thanks for the comments and link - that is a very nice set. Cool to see the bridge from the other side... I spent one night there - would love to go back sometime. Beautiful city at night...

Thanks, Chuck. Cincinnati is only a little over an hour away so I usually get there once or twice a year to shoot - mostly at night.

Thank you for taking the time to look and comment - It's my first time combining the city and water element - really had a great time!
