Happy New Year

January 1st, 2006 · 6 Comments

Narrows Bridge at nightHere’s wishing all my readers, and your families, a happy and prosperous New Year. May you all be blessed with good health, optimism, peace and prosperity this year.

The new Tacoma Narrows Bridge has been decked out for the holidays, with colored lights on the catwalks, Christmas trees on the towers, and even colored construction cranes. Here’s a shot I grabbed last night — one of the few nights without rain in the past few weeks.

Back soon — God bless and stay well.

    Good engineering is impressive. So are lights in the darkness.

    Have a good year!

    Peace to you and yours for the New Year!

    Guess we can add photography to your many talents – that picture is perfect!

    Wishing you sunshine – hope the rains clear up.

    I am learning much about photography, so please correct me if I’m wrong— narrow aperture and long exposure, right?

    I think that’s what those asterations indicate…

    Actually, I turned my Panasonic DMC-FZ20 settings to “night scenery”–which I know uses long exposures, and I’m pretty sure a small F-opening to maximize depth of field. Tripod necessary for this kind of shot, and lots of bracketing. Had to tweak the levels a bit in Photoshop, otherwise this is pretty much how it came off the camera.
