Highline Bridge, BNSF Jamestown sub
The original plan was to take a shot from the east bluff, but that would entail four trips to the car to carry ~150 pounds of camera gear out, and then back in the dark. While thinking it over, the wind died and the water on the Sheyenne Rver became as smooth as a woman's behind. That's pretty unusual in the Dakotas! So, I went for the reflection shot. The trestle is 150 ft. high and ~225 yards away so there were some challenges to overcome. And about 10,000 mosquitoes! Flash: x3 White Lightning X3200 with long throw reflectors. I believe this is the first time this big trestle has been flash photo'd at night, at least about 500 feet of it. F. J. Haynes would have loved this!
