aurora bridge in fremont

i've seen a few of these under-the-bridge photos and so i headed for this very tall bridge as soon as i got my new wide angle lens (a cheap sigma zoom). i'd love to retake this with an even wider angle to get the 90 deg view one day. this is an hdr composite made from 3 exposures. i used a polarizing filter to get the deep blue sky and then adjusted the colors in photoshop to get even better saturation.

A real grabber. Well done. (next time don't tell us your lens was a Sigma...we'll think it was a Nikkor) :>)

my goodness this is lovely...i actually love driving by this bridge from various angles, in various light, because of the way it frames the water, boats, and mountains (when they are out)...thanks for sharing!

just saw your photo on digital-photography-school. com = AMAZING!! can I ask which specific lens you used? I'm a beginner aspiring photographer and just bought my first DSLR-- A Canon XSI. So far I only have the kit 18-55 lens and really want to get a wide angle lens that doesn't break the bank!

thanks! :)
