Severn Bridge - At Night

[MTaylor]

Headed down to the bridge last week with fellow members of our camera club, I've never really done a great deal of night time photography, so loved doing this, also threw in a few sunset shots.

All C&C appreciated.

Oh god I've just realised the horizon on the first is aweful!

May be so, but it is a fantastic photo and an easy fix. I think it is the best one, then 3.

 

[MTaylor]

Thank you very much Andrew!

That first one is lovely Matt.
In fact, I'd say that it's one of the best Severn bridge shots that I've seen

OK your horizon's wonky, but that's a two second fix in PP.
I love the angle and composition. The reflections are beautiful and there's just the right amount of light in all the right places.
Well done.

The 3rd is my favourite, love the colours, the composition, the smooth water, and the fact the lights have starburst is great!

Three for me too, nice still water and good colour

 

[Artoo]

Great exposure.
In #2 How were you able to keep the sky from overexposing while keeping the bridge lit beautifully?
I was just out yesterday and struggled with this for some time until the sun fully set.

Very nice set and good range of tones in two

All very nice, espically number 1!...maybe just a little twist to the right to correct the horizon and with it will come the lights which appear to lean a little to the left...great image though.

Square the first one up and you're onto a real winner, great work.

#1 is brilliant but I think there's a little to pull out of it:

 

[markmullen]

If I'm honest Byker I prefer the original, all your edit seems to have done is bring a load of noise in as you've lifted the shadows.

 

[Byker28i]

Fair enough - only the jpeg to work with - I thought there was a bit to lift.

Love the first one as said before straighten your horizon and way to go ......brilliant!

 

[MTaylor]

Wow! Thanks very much for your kind comments! As an amateur comments like this really spur me on!
