Suspension Bridge over the Ohio River, Cincinnati Skyline after Dusk

[fensterbme]

Here are two similar but different photos, it's a decent example of long exposure vs. large aperture and quick exposure and what the differences are... compositionally I perfer the perspective of the quick exposure, but perfer the effect of the long shutter speed on the exposure.

The John A. Roebling Bridge, named after the bridges designer who later went on to build the Brooklyn Bridge. This bridge was built in 1867 and at the time was the longest suspension bridge in the world at 1,057 feet. This was taken in Covington KY, overlooking the Ohio River and the city of Cincinnati.


Long Exposure Shot, this photo was taken at f/14 with an exposure time of eight seconds @ ISO 320 - click here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/fensterbme/3018999603/sizes/l/) to view large

Large Aperture: Was taken at f/2.8 and ISO800, the change between them is somewhat subtle but is very noticable - click here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/fensterbme/3019823064/sizes/l/)to view large.

Great shots, but John A. Roebling didn't build the Brooklyn Bridge. He had died before the construction started. His son Washington build the bridge.

True that he died before it was finished, but not true that he didn't participate in any aspect of the building of the bridge or wasn't credited with it's design.

amazing that nobody had commented on these in months... but thanks for your fastidious if not completely accurate correction.

Actually he died before construction even began. His son also ended up changing almost all of his plans. So while it is True that he had nothing to do with the building of the bridge, he was the original designer.

... so it seems that you agree that your inital faux correction wasn't completely accurate either. In the end I could give two sh*ts less and think your a bit of goof for actually digging up a thread and spouting off. I just wrote what wikipedia stated, I don't really get off on old details like you seemingly do...

Shouldn't you be pouring expresso or something?

No, actually my post was correct. And I had just finished reading a book called The Great Bridge by David McCollough and I wanted to see some great pictures of the bridge, so I searched for it and your thread came up. I didn't mean anything by the post. I personally like to believe as many true things as possible, so I decided to share a little info. Sorry if it came off wrong. You do seem upset by it....and that was not my intention.

sensitive much?

I like the foreground of the first one, and the background of the second..

Just trying to be polite. I could have said that you should fact check before posting what you read on WiKi.

Is that what Wikipedia calls espresso? We can all get along here and learn a valuable lesson about "fact" checking on Wikipedia. It is funny how emotions conveying intentions are completely lost when typed!!!

Great shots, by the way!! I like the first better...always going to side with the longer exposure!!!

XOXO
