Nikon D700 | Nikon 28 - 300 mm lens | ISO 200 - HDR w 5 images

Good Day.  Yesterday afternoon I loaded up my camera and took off to see what I could find to shoot.  I’m not sure what I was looking for.  When you aren’t sure what you want just about anything should work, right?  I just couldn’t find anything that caught my eye.

I drove a lot of back roads and saw some wonderful homes and barns but no place to park and too lazy to walk a mile for a barn shot.   After an hour of this I decided to head back home.  I drove back on Asbury Road and of course had to cross Twin Springs Bridge.  Out of the corner of my eye I saw all this greenery and the small ripples in the creek where some rocks were.

I parked the car and went back for a look.  Yep, I thought, this would be a good HDR image so back to the car, for my tripod and camera.  After setting up the tripod enduring some nasty stares from some motorist I took the shot.  I didn’t have a shutter cable with me so I had to manually fire the camera, but it was pretty solid on the tripod.

I stood on the bridge for at least 5 minutes composing the shot in my mind.  At least another 5 minutes setting up the tripod, composing the view, setting up for the HDR imaging and not one car.  As soon as I was ready to take the image at least 15 cars came by.  🙂  If you would like to see a larger image of the one above just click here.

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy this great holiday weekend and be careful.
