Astoria Bridge 1 - www.grantmurrayphotography.com

 

I was in Oregon for two weeks over August into September this year for a family getaway. My wife took pity on me and encouraged me to go out and spend a bunch of time doing my photography. For anyone with a baby, you will know that free time and "me" time isn't in abundant supply.

 

I have seen so many images of Astoria Bridge, so trying to create something unique isn't easy...anyhoo, this is my contribution to the burgeoning supply of Astoria Bridge images...I hope you like it.

 

I used a 10 stop and 3 stop ND filter, plus a 3 stop hard grad ND filter, to get the right level of contrast in the sky, water and around the bridge and pilings.

 

The techie stuff:

 

Sony A850 D-SLR

Zeiss 16-35mm Lens

ISO: 100

Aperture: f/8

Exposure: 130 seconds

Focal Length: 16mm

Filters: Lee Big Stopper ND filter, Lee 3 stop ND filter and Lee 3 stop hard grad ND filter

Software: Photoshop CS6 and Google Silver Efex Pro 2
