Exactly, Jack. It's really hard to frame the entire bridge and do it well. Both of these shots were just my best first go at it. But I'm not completely happy with them. I think the 55mm is too wide for the vertical frame as it seems to show a bit of curvature.
I'm sure I'll be back to try over and over again. I think I'm going to try some Fuji Neopan + Red filter next time. -Brendan --- Jack Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dramatic angle, Brendan.
