The Giant Dark letter "V" Photo

Photographer’s Note

The return to the longest suspension bridge in the world, you can fine more details of this bridge on my previous picture of it in sepia.

I thought I would send this pic because it is another perspective of the bridge but with children in awe of the magnificetn structure. The mammoth bridge was astounding and the waves were pretty strong and when the water hit the pillars of the bridge you could feel the fear in peoples faces and the noise was a little scary too whilst on the observation deck.

I will show you the insides of the tremendous bridge tomorrow and so you will know how concrete this structure is and why if a tornado or a natural disaster does occur, why it wont come down.

I hope you like the photo

What excellent perspective! The suddenness of the bridge with the gleefulness of the kids. Very nice.

Great perspective Daniel! I like your composition!

I like the weight of this shot Daniel, the heavy sky and the mass of the bridge seem to press down against the animated children.
It's a pity the children were so far to the right as it creates a slightly unballanced image as they are so removed from the vanishing point of the bridge.

CONGRETILATIONS.

Yes, I recognized the bridge, Dan. Your positioning exactly below renders a good perspective effect, and also emphasizes the weight and scale of this impressive work of engineering. Good atmosphere added by the haze, and good to have the kids looking out on the water. Very nice.

You really are managing I wanna visit Kobe thanks to your photos. Confess, you work for the turist departmen of the city!. Well, just kidding. Congratulations again and again and again from Madrid.

Very well done Daniel, great view once again, very good cropping and composition, excellent depth, well done.

Great point of view. It really shows its gargantuan size here. Even to reach the near tower seems like the entire length of some bridges. And even before I read your note I was imagining sound as I looked at the photo. Not only waves but just imagining the bridge moving and perhaps the creaking of metal as it moves in the wind. I think the slightly twisted look of the bridge makes me feel that. The kids are a great part of the composition, also. Excellent capture, Daniel.

Impressive shot of the bridge. Good perspective and nice atmosphere of a rainy day.

orme (6746) 2004-08-25 2:07

A great shot, Daniel, with wonderful perspective. I like the 'dark' atmosphere that you managed to capture, as well as the little kids in the corner. Well seen.

ChrisJ (70443) 2004-08-25 3:09

Great use of the 'v' for linear perspective, & vanishing point.

elihesamian (26091) 2004-08-25 3:29

Oh!
A Splendid shot,with this great POV and an excellent cropping that you did,a fine composition,a superb shot,really.

I like the fuggy situation in depth,a heavy atmosphere that make more the shot stronger.
You did great,Daniel.
Thanks

Amitié.

jhonny_blue (4954) 2004-08-25 4:42

Very interesting picture Daniel !
Very good.

cmartos (6086) 2004-08-26 17:22

Wonderful shot Daniel. I like the impressive perspective very much, and the assymetry is very welcome. Puting the bridge on the side makes it still more impressive in terms of dimension. Very well done.

Endy (1025) 2004-08-26 22:23

Great perspective! Good idea to take the shoot below the bridge, it's good point of view. I would have tried to increase the lightness of the picture because it seems a little bit too dark for me, but we cannot control the weather.

I keep comment on this Dan - I actually got some similar shot from "our" bridge here in Denmark - which was the longest for a short time until this came - very fine perspective you got here - I like the presence of people - very fine work.

avigur_11 (21301) 2004-08-28 13:58

A very good composition of this huge "triangle". Also a very dramatic weather, it looks like a scen from a movie. I like the wet deck and the children on the right. A very nice shot, Daniel.

clodreno (0) 2004-12-06 9:05

I likethe color of the sky and the 3 kids on the right of the frame... very good Daniel.
