Hanging Bridge, a photo from Kedah, Ouest

Photographer's Note

This is the hanging bridge in langkawi island. I really hope you'll like it because this is one of my best pictures till now. Standing on that bridge was a scary feeling because it was a bit shaky! But still, the wind and view is great from there, I hope to stand on it once more.
Any comments or suggestions?

Hi Ramy.
This was extraordinary. Your shot is great with good colours and focus. Your point of view is very good.
It looks a bit scary to walk on. Did you?

What a cool structure!

Cruize (0) 2006-03-18 18:17

Hi Ramy, it must have felt great walking over this hanging bridge as such a great height. The colours are great and I like your perspective. My only suggestion would be to rotate the image so that the pilon holding the bridge is vertical.
Best wishes
Vernon

fantastic photo! Very beautiful scenery and that bridge...wow! It must be fantastic to walk across it...in good weather of course! Amazing! well done for having the courage to walk across it!

ramthakur (1559) 2006-03-19 9:47

Looks scary but is surrounded by nice wooded hills.
Well taken picture from a good perspective.

KiltedArab (0) 2006-03-20 5:46

Hi Ramy

This is a great capture that certainly gave me a feeling of vertigo when i opened it. I think your POV gives a feeling of the height involved and the people add a good idea of scale. It's a shame about the big shadow, but nothing you could do about that!

pastadog (13111) 2006-03-20 7:51

Hi Ramy, excellent pic (in spite of probably difficult light conditions), unusual bridge and POV. It's scary even to look at it! Well done, Daniel
ps - It would have been nice to read a bit more about this unusual bridge in your note.

nivas37 (662) 2006-03-20 14:13

Hi Ramy,
Wonderful Composition... scary though... Would it be possible to come back when the sun is on the other side so that your picture eliminates the shadow? Just a thought... Great Pic.

This is an interesting and improbable bridge even if I regret the pov doesn't allow to really figure out the whole architecture. Whatever, a looking like impressive place.
Stéphane

mortijo (12828) 2006-03-21 6:33

Looks very scary to me!!! The POV is interesting but I would also have put the pylon vertical. The people on the bridge give a good impression os the size.

skomy (124) 2006-03-21 7:08

Ramy,

Uve got a very nice pic there! If i were u i wouldnt look down that bridge :)
Welldone, ill try an add a workshop..cause i think like Cruize that if the pole was vertical it may look different.

Hi Ramy
What a special bridge ! It is curve! I like your photo and
the point of view is impressive. It must be really nice to
walk on this bridge. Well Done

Hi ramy,
Very good shot .this bridge is very spectacular.
Bruno ( cooper )

jstewart (1150) 2006-03-22 23:10

Hi Ramy,
Interesting shot. I'd prefer to see the tops of the hills just above the bridge. Some work in Photoshop like using levels and hue might bring out the colours better. A more detailed note please. Just what is this bridge all about?
John

danyy (0) 2006-03-23 3:55

Bonjour Ramy,
je suis vraiment impressionné par ce pont suspendu, il n'est pas fait pour les voitures.
A great POV and lights even the half of the bridge is under a strong sunny light, this curve is very esthetic in the mountains.
Best regards.
Daniel.

suru (1111) 2006-03-23 10:38

weswang (18247) 2006-03-27 14:36

Hi Ramy, An excellent PoV to show the hanging bridge. The design of the bridge is interesting and unique. Good shot to show the bridge and the environment clearly. Well done.

dHitman (0) 2006-03-27 20:17

Hi Ramy,
I really like the sweeping line of the hanging bridge across the hill. Good POV and the exposure is good too considering the bright and shadow area within the frame. TFS!
Regards, Jino

ChristianS (2997) 2006-03-28 2:53

Hi Ramy,
Very nice scenery and perspective overlooking this interesting construction and the lush hills. Nice colours and contrast. Well done!

Hi Ramy, thanks for your visit.
Fantastic view of this unusual but beautiful bridge. Excellent details, good colors and POV.
I also like the perspective.
TFS and have a nice day,
Aires

cam (9043) 2006-03-28 21:29

Hi Ramy
Wow,what a place, not for someone with vertigo.
Must have been quite an experience to walk it.
Your framing is excellent here and shows very well its situation over nothing.
A very good picture
Charles

Angshu (56760) 2006-03-29 3:27

Hi Ramy, You've done very well in capturing the tricky light conditions. The bridge is amazing and scary...I've never seen anything like this. Well done
Regards
Angshu

rosaline (0) 2006-03-29 3:42

Hi Ramy
This is a dramatic shot and great POV. I like the curvature of the bridge, which you have managed to bring out nicely. Great effect of the shadows too. Well captured.
Aubrey

josepmarin (59385) 2006-03-29 9:59

Hi Ramy,
A really spectacular photo, as the hanging bridge that you show us here.
The bridge is a marvel of the civil engineering, and the POV that you have done is very good, from above.
I like it the light and the shades in the mountain.
Good work.
Regards,
Josep
PS: The WS that they have done to you rotating the photo to make the prop of the bridge vertical, it is a mistake, the prop has this inclination.

zeca (19762) 2006-03-29 23:21

Hello Ramy! What a nice bridge! Great POV. I like the sharpness and details, and the colors looks great.
Greetings from Brazil!

pranab (5354) 2006-03-30 0:07

ramy,
nice pov. good use of light. good dof. nice even color scheme.

capthaddock (28790) 2006-03-30 9:44

Hi Ramy - super intersting structure, the place looks beautiful, I would really like to see that. The only suggestion I have is not to cut off the tops of the mountains, and the concrete thing at the lower right corner can be cloned out in photoshop, or avoided by risking life and limb by leaning over the edge.

Ans_er (14) 2006-03-31 1:41

You really have captured a very beatiful & lovely view of bridge. Its Looking very scary. It must be a memorious moment for you to walk on it.
May I know measurement (lenght, width, height etc) of this hanging bridge.

jrj (34843) 2006-03-31 4:13

Hi Ramy
What a place and what a bridge..
Indeed interesting to see such a place - and of course wonder why the bridge is there in the first place.
The bird angle is good for presenting of this highly unique construction. TFS

vincent24 (9060) 2006-04-02 16:53

Bonjour Ramy,
Your picture gives a feeling of vertigo,the wild forest is nice,it's the 1st picture from a R1 i see,it seem very good,
vincent

ArtLook (2348) 2006-04-04 14:30

Hi Ramy,

Yes, its the really great view and this bridge looks pretty long... Good sharpeness and details here. I like the light and shade here too. Very good shot, bravo!

With BEST regards,
Arthur

Cliffy (590) 2006-04-07 10:26

An incredible looking structure Ramy and really well composed,I feel dizzy just looking at it so I am not suprised you were scared standing onit

Janice (4403) 2006-04-07 22:37

Wow!!! I don't know if I could go on this bridge Ramy... You said it was shaky - no way!
What a super shot though. yes, it is a good shot, because you are so high and looking down on the hanging bridge - very brave,
TFS
Janice

Jeppe (18654) 2006-04-12 15:51

Hi Ramy

Lots of comments on this one - but I agree - you did a fine job giving us the very special bridge - never seen this kind of construction before. The shadow gives an extra dimension as well - nice work - my compliment.

Jeppe

donluicu (24741) 2006-04-15 8:35

How could i missed this one ? I had love your first "bowling" and this one is really amazing !!
You could have give it the title "vertigo" cause you need to have your heart well attached when you walk on this bridge ;)
Spectacular, really spectacular :))

Hi Ramy,
this bridge is very impressive, I've never seen something like this before.
Good light over the mountains.
Good POV from above.
Well done

MLINES (12516) 2006-08-05 22:11

Hi Ramy, This is very interesting to see. It is an engineering marvel by the look of it. Your POV is excellent. Remarkable capture of this unusual bridge. TFS. Murray.

cyrrhus (2878) 2006-10-11 7:03

Hi Ramy,
This is a surprising and very interesting structure. I would like to know more about it.
Can you tell me how long it is and what load it does support (only humans ? vehicles ? cattle ?).
I can imagine that it is extremely difficult to have the ideal POV. Unless you use a helicopter. Just a pity that you've cut the summit of the hills.
Regards,
Eric /.

rui_seabra (205) 2006-10-11 7:17

Hi Ramy

Very nice subject and the photo is interesting.

As said by jstewart, I would also have included the top of those central mountains... and I don't think you gain much by having that small grass in the lower center and the structure you're in in the photo...

Appart from that it is a very nice composition.

dorte_s_t (2287) 2006-10-11 11:25

HI , Ramy.

This is a masterpiece - you can tell from the many many comments you have received . Nevertheless I will give you my compliments as well . This photo deserves it !
kindest regards
Dorte.

Jfox1977 (81) 2006-12-18 15:14

Hello Ramy,
Not easy to make a choice between showing what is beyond the mountain and the depth under this bridge... But the impressive aspect of this bridge shows on your picture.
I wish you to post one day pictures of your country...

TravelerNL (3011) 2007-03-01 5:00

Hello Ramy,
This is a very interesting bridge (I am a civil engineer) and you have taken this photo from a very good and high point of view showing almost the entire bridge.
It must be a magnificient view from the bridge out over the landscape of Langkawi.
Well done and thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Harko

bazal (7900) 2007-03-01 7:40

Hi Ramy.
This less we can say is that this is a quite impressive area! The picture is nice and colorful, and it would have been even better with a slight crop correction (with a bit more space on the top to integrate mountain summits and a bit tighter on the bottom-right to the whitish (concrete) item. I imagine this must be quite an experience to drive on this bridge!
Thanks for sharing!

pari_ali (433) 2007-03-05 6:14

incredible piece of architecture. Good POV showing us the whole bridge.

nivaldo (15417) 2007-03-08 20:01
