Number two of my August PUG assignments is:
Bill Casselberry, "Yakina Bay Bridge"
Well, I guess that recording light that the human eye can't detect is
certainly "alternative", isn't it! No doubt that this one fits in with
the theme this month.
I must compliment you, Bill, on such a dramatic image!
I've never used infrared film, but your shot reminds me that I'll have
to buy a few rolls and fool around with them. There's something about
IR when it's done right (as this, imho, is) that makes absolutely
ethereal and surreal images.
I love the sky - talk about dramatic - which I assume would not have
looked nearly so unreal with conventionaly film. Looks like a prelude
to the Second Coming!
Your choice of lens is perfect, as it adds to the overall drama of the
shot. That HUGE first span, with the other spans diminishing in size
much more quickly than would be seen with the naked eye, works very will
with the framing. I don't know how long the bridge actually is, but the
way you shot it makes it look large, imposing and impressive.
Once again, my critique really doesn't do your shot justice, Bill. I
loved it. Thanks.
regards,
frank
