heavenly bridge Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a re-post of one of my first uploads on this forum. I was lucky to catch a perfect timing for blue hour. Sometimes it is the matter of minutes.
I know similar shots are not very popular on this forum because recently I uploaded couple of them with no interest, but for me they are having a very special unearthly atmosphere. And this one is probably my favorite. Therefore I can't resist sharing them.
RP version was resharpened after decreasing the size -a standard operation, which I did not do at the time when I first joined TE.

Original note:
I have showed already a detail of St Patrick Bridge in Cork City.
This is the whole bridge.
If you go to the right: you enter St Patrick Street, the main street in town, to the left you may climb St Patrick Hill from which you can experience spectacular city panorama (coming later).
St Patrick's name is present everywhere...

That's true - sherpened version looks much better than your original post.
Timing is very good to get combination of bright artificial lights and some blue sky. Good exposure as well.
Maybe the photo would look better with bridge placed slightly off-center with camera pointed lower to have less sky and more water.

Witaj Mariuszu,
Swietna pora i jeszcze lepsze odbicie mostu na wodzie. Cork to naprawde mniejszy Dublin, ten z kolei to mniejszy Londyn i tak w nieskonczonosc;) Podoba mi sie tonacja i fantastycznie dobrana do rozmiaru ostrosc.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
Darek

Przyjemne nocne foto, ladnie skomponowane.
Smaczku dodaje odbicie w wodzie.

Hello Mariusz, you have captured the beauty of that hour in a very nice way. Beautiful blue tones that contrast with the city lights and superb reflections. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards,
Kostas.

It was definitely worth starting again from your original, because both the larger file size and the sharpening produce an image with a marked improvement from the earlier post. It is a very well exposed night shot in the blue hours with wonderful reflections of the bridge.

Hello Marusz,

Very nice moment during the blue hour.
Lovely reflection and soft for look at.
Sharpness and clarity are superb.
The bridge care for a very nice contrast.
Composition and presentation are very well. TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
