Looking for new projects to keep me amused I'm going to document the replacement of a local bridge I travel over each day. The existing bridge has been failing for some years, has had numerous repairs, reductions to one lane at times and weight restrictions, is on the main circular route around the Island and absolutely critical. It takes me 10 minutes to get over it and into the capital city of Suva each day, if it were not passable, to get to the same destination would take me between 5 and 10 hours depending on whether I go rough terrain or tar-seal
Here are four from today's shoot.
No 1 - On the right is the existing bridge in use and today was the first time I have ever stood on it. Leaning against the handrails to take these shots I was glad the lens had VR. To the left of it is some of another old bridge built back in Colonial days. To the far left is a temporary bridge that has been built just to support the cranes douring the project.
No 2
No 3
No 4
Minor work on all images was undertaken in ACR and I then used NIK Pro Contrast at 30% Dynamic Contrast to try and give them some punch as the light was so flat.
Comments and suggestions welcome as always.
