Infinity - a photo on Flickriver

Infinity

I'd wanted to shoot this bridge for a long time, various ideas in mind, long exposures, odd angles, alsorts, the long exposures didn't work out due to tide times and corresponding weather at the right times of day ie far too bright or dark.. also the sheer size of the thing is so daunting its hard to know where to start! I had a few hours here trying different things and in the end the shot I got that I like the most was this one, a minimal wide angle view trying to convey the size/shape/length/lines etc, you can't actually see the end of it when you are stood there, extremely impressive natural vanishing point, you would need a pretty high viewpoint to see that far... The light allowed for some decent reflected light off the bridge beams while the bridge slowly dissapears into shadow...

The Ponte Vasco da Gama, Lisbon is just under 11 miles long and spans the River Tagus Estuary to the east of Lisbon.
