Neil; Nice video and I particularly appreciate your thorough explanations of how you navigate the editing process with the original vision of the photo. My vote is to return to the ‘crime scene’ and reshoot the image. I sometimes do that > 3X until I get it right. In my workflow, I view this practice as a ‘reference’. I’m not as fast as others to see an image always on the first try. This time, I’d suggest trying a mono-chrom camera instead of a converted colored image. Also maybe try at near high noon when there may be greater reflection to the bridge’s underbelly. Just saying. Your vision and sense of process gives me inspiration, thx
Thanks Robert. Really appreciate your time and response. Yes, I think it would be interesting to shoot again, and it’s not out of the question to do so.
I also like taking long exposure shots and noticed this spot (and put it on my to do list) after driving over the bridge a couple of times this autumn. If it's possible, I hope to get all of the bridge in one image, though that may mean having to take several shots to create a panoramic. Like you, I dislike the processing part so tend to try and get the image I want in camera to avoid having to do much work when I get home!
Ah, yeah, you noticed that time lag… 🙈 One day I’ll get over the imposter syndrome and be consistent on here… 🤦🏻♂️ I need more of you and Dirk as cheerleaders! That’ll speed things up 😁. Cheers Rob, I really do appreciate your support.
