Taken from the Eastern shore observation point at dusk.... C&C appreciated!

1. I never knew you could see the VA Beach skyline from this vantage point, but the 300mm lens helped

    Beautiful colors and I love the effect of long exposures on the water.

    My favorite are the second and third shots. I like the first shot, but I think the composition may have been improved if the camera was moved to the left and then panned to the right (so that the distance between the piling and the bridge terrace would be increased, and they wouldn't be quite as centered, the terrace would be more on the left and the piling on the right).

    This is a great spot, with the pilings, bridge, the lights on the bridge, the great colors in the sky and water... I could easily make several trips to this spot, good job!

    Wow fantastic colors!!! This looks remarkably like the shot I took this summer from the other Bay Bridge... the one closer to Annapolis.

    I'm a bad Marylander and am not terribly familiar with all the bridges in this area. But I love your sunset shots and I agree with Ron, I would find reasons to shoot there more if I saw scenes like this. thumb.gif

    thanks for your feedback! And I do agree with Ron - I'd like a different viewpoint. Next time I might have to get more adventurous and walk down the beach.

    :D I've done some of the same images from "Sunset Beach" but don't really know where your vantage point was. I do have some bridge images from
    "Chick's Beach" though. Good images and let's get together if you are in the area.

    Great shots. What a fantastic bridge. Another great vantage point is the restaurant on the bridge.
