Orton sees a bridge

Today is my day off of work, which means I spend at least a portion of it at the computer putting my digital archives in order, cleaning up old scans, organizing, and being reminded of some of the images I have. So since I have all this spare time today, ha, I figured I would post another picture of the St Johns Bridge. Mainly just because I have fallen behind on posting many images of this bridge, and secondly because it happens to be the folder I am working through at the moment.

This shot is the product of two slides, slightly overexposed to make them lighter, sandwiched together post-processing and then scanned in as a single image. Also known as the Orton effect. It can have some interesting effects, usually saturating colors and deepening contrast. Here I like how it made spot lights out of the street lights.

Anyway, taken on the south side of the bridge halfway up the hillside. I had to do some bushwhacking to find this little clearing in the trees. I was looking for a spot that gave me a view straight down the bridge, but I am not sure one exists. This is a nice vantage as well though.
