Completely beautiful image. One of the very best compositions I've seen on here. Near perfect symmetry. Thanks for sharing your exceptional work. BD

very very nice regards

Excellent.

Beautiful shot and great reflection, i love it!

Peter, your images are always amazing. This is gorgeous. How did you get the water to be so glassy for you? It's like the same photo upside down and right side up. Wonderful use of a wide lens! What camera/lens were you using here?

Thanks very much, everyone!

G'day Lou Ann... The key to this shot was getting here early in the day. It was indeed a very still morning.

I used a Canon 20D with the EF-S 10-22mm lens, set to the wide end.

I like the mood of the picture. It looks like i'm back to my photography class. This is simply amazing. What time did you take the picture and what's your camera setting, if you don't mind sharing?

No I don't mind at all, Ron.

This was shot at 9:00am, during our local winter season (10 July 2007), with an exposure time of 1/125s at f5.6 and ISO 200.

Pattern metering was engaged, during this manual exposure.

Is this the bridge built by convicts in Ross, Tasmania? If it is then this is supposed to be one of the most important bridges left in the commonwealth, and you have captured it beautifully. If it isn't then you have still captured a beautiful bridge very beautifully. Well done!!!!! Great portfolio too.

G'day Hugh,

Yes, you are quite correct about the heritage value of this bridge. It is the third oldest bridge in Australia (1836). The oldest is situated in Richmond, down near Hobart. That one was completed in 1825.

I find the Ross Bridge far more attractive, though. The one at Richmond has been 'photographed to death', so to speak...
