Sailboat Bridge - a photo on Flickriver

Sailboat Bridge

            This is another of my favorites form my trip to Santa Cruz. This is from Bridges State Park taken just before sunset and well before my last post. There was still enough light that the birds were still on the rock and the sailboats were out. I took this photo planning for the sun to be low enough to create some different lighting and to light up the sailboat up as much as possible. If you didn’t notice; look closely at the center of the bridge, there is a sailboat in the center. In the color version you can barely see the boat because there isn’t enough contrast. I wanted a good black and white of the bridge to pair with a good color version, so this worked out very well. I timed it with a crashing wave to add some highlights in the foreground. I was hoping this would help draw out the sailboat. I also used a much faster shutter that my previous post to capture the crash of the wave but still slow enough to create a large white wall of water. I knew from some practice shots before the boat got to the center that about a 1/3 second of a shutter would give me what I wanted. Hope you enjoy the series. Feel free to let me know what you think or ask any questions.
