From this past Saturday at dawn. This is downtown Pittsburgh from the north shore of the Allegheny River.

I added a little light on the wooden pillar things to add a little more foreground interest.

All natural light here on the Roberto Clemente Bridge.

Both are nice, but the color is special in #1. Good use of flash, too.

It was a 580EXII in manual at, I believe, 1/4 power. I use cybersyncs to trigger the flash.

I love the perspective bridge shot and plan to "borrow" your idea.

I am Pittsburgh as well and we have many bridges to chose from.

Both are interesting but if you put the sky of #1 into #2 (converted to B&W of course) you'd have something really strong!
