The current arched bridge was completed in 1959 and has 138 feet of navigational clearance. A new LED lighting system was installed in 2011 at a cost of $2.2 million and has over 11,000 individually addressable RGB nodes. In 2008, planning was underway to replace the bridge which culminated into the current new harbor bridge project. The new harbor bridge will be a cable stayed bridge with 205 feet of navigational clearance. The original completion date for the bridge was 2020 but the completion date has since been changed to 2023. When completed the bridge is expected to have a 170 year estimated life. The project will conclude with the demolition of the current arched bridge.

I was approached by a couple of women who wanted photos of their horses to use in ads. These shots were from those efforts.
As everyone has said, they are all very good, but I much prefer #1 because it is not tethered.

I used tonal contrast, a glow layer and soft light blending mode.

If auto ISO gave me the perfect exposure every time, I would use it because I am lazy and it would make taking pictures simpler. However, I shoot with Canon 5D mark IV and using auto ISO often results in slightly overexposed images. It might just be 1/3 of a stop, but for my taste, I would prefer underexposure of 1/3 of a stop when shooting outdoors with normal light. When I shot with film, I would tell the camera I was shooting with 32 ASA when I was shooting with 25 ASA. This resulted in richer more saturated color that I preferred.

Thanks for your kind comments and viewing. Birdman12 is likely correct about fossil fuels. At this point, the reliability of alternative energy is a concern.

Taken in South Texas just north and east of Chapman ranch on County Road 14. It is a rather common sight to see pumpjacks working in the shadows of windmills. I find the contrast in energy production interesting.

It is on Hwy 361 between N. Padre Island and Port Aransas.

Sunrise on North Padre Island at the 1852 Pass. The mullet jumping out of the water was of interest to me.

White Ibis visit our yard regularly. Yesterday there were seven feeding in the back yard.

I live in south Texas and Inca doves used to be the most common dove we had, but have become scarce for some reason. I think because of the increase in the other varieties of doves. The attached picture is an Inca dove displaying the red on his wing in a defensive posture.
