Lillebæltsbroen - Small strait bridge

View from the beach in Middelfart towards "Lillebælts broen" or litterally "Small strait bridge" in the north. This is the new motorway bridge over the strait, spanning 600 metres (approx 2000 feet) from pylon to pylon with a total length of 1700 metres (~5600 feet). The bridge was built in the late 60s and was finished by 1970. Picture taken just after midnight, no filters used and only contrast and a little lightening added in post-processing.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

A very nice capture. The boat does indeed complete the composition, but your light/exposure is supurb and it sort of "paints" the image onto the screen.

That still water works well with the boat and dock in silhouette and is just ultra
restful and beautiful. Those clouds are nice too, especially since you had to come back to
get this and were able to take advantage of such an interesting sky too.

Thanks for your comments guys! :)

The sea was unusually calm, I was hoping for a bit more waves because I like the hazy look the image gets, but this turned out very well too! I will be uploading another shot of the bridge (from the same evening) when I get home after this weekend, also I'm going to upload some of my older pictures!

Beautiful composition, colour and exposure control. I love that reflection!

Excellent image, the 30+ second exposure works very well to soften the image and convey a feeling of tranquility.

Welcome to Pbase, I look forward to more of your work.

Thanks for your words Barri, I agree, the boat "completes" this image, without it it wouldn't be anywhere nearly as interesting! - I did another angle with the bridge further into the frame, but I think this version is better, the bridge is growing "into" the image from the left... Maybe I will upload the other version some time.

Very beautiful shot...great depth and colors in this...the peir and the boat make this a wonderful composition I think.
