A Rare Balance • Tilikum Crossing and Ross Island Bridge in a Willamette Mirror • October 16, 2014 11:18:23PM

During this phase of the testing only a few lights were on making for an easier exposure balance with ambient light from the city, which is the only source of illumination for the otherwise unlit Ross Island Bridge in the background allowing it to standout more strongly in this photo. From this viewpoint on the OMSI dock the Ross Island Bridge is nicely framed under the Tilikum Crossing, a framing beautifully emphasized in their reflection by the near glass like calm on the Willamette River; a calm that ended just before midnight when a slight breeze came up. As beautiful as the lighting had been, this image is one of my favorite photos from that evening and of the bridge this year. See all photos from this location. NB28110
