Title: Interplay
Post by: RBSinTo on June 06, 2019, 21:32:37
The Humber Bay Bridge is an architecturally beautiful pedestrian bridge that spans the mouth of the Humber River where it empties into Lake Ontario, here in Toronto.
In addition to photographing the entire structure as well as many people as they run, walk, bike, and skate across it, I've also spent a great deal of time photographing details of the structure. This is one example of those details.
Motorized Nikon F2AS
micro-Nikkor 105 f4 AI manual focus
Fuji 100 ISO colour slide
f8 @ 1/500th

Tes, you're wired for retails.  ;)

I haven't the foggiest notion what this is supposed to mean.
Silly me. I was hoping for an intelligent comment on my photo.

I like this enterprising composition from a few ordinary elements.  Your talent for holding the camera square is better than mine!
Now that you've tempted us, maybe show a few more, including the bridge?

Thanks Keith,
I'll have to take out some of the slides and scan them.

My apologies for posting what turns out to be a cryptic response.

Perhaps you should explain what you meant to say?

Wonderful soft contrasts between light and shadows, the gradient of light on the structure keeps me looking at it, as well as the geometry
surprising that the cables have a copper color

Armando,
Thanks for the kind words.
The "copper" colour of the wires is because of the sunlight. They are actually stainless steel.
