Jin Do Bridge Photo

Photographer’s Note

From Wikipedia: "Jindo Island is an island in South Jeolla province, South Korea. It lies just off the southwest corner of the Korean peninsula. It is separated from the mainland by the Myeongnyang Strait; however, this strait is now spanned by South Korea's longest suspension bridge, the Jindo Bridge (completed 1983). The island makes up the great majority of Jindo County. The Korea Jindo Dog is native to this island."

Another shot taken in 1984, showing both spans:

Photo of JinDo Bridge

A duplicate lane has been built since 1984, with a paler orange support structure. Jin Do is on the left of the frame. There is a car parked at right, in the fg, for scale.

Hello Chris,
A beautiful , well centred bridge. The red pillar brings an attractive colored touch and the pov is very well chosen and looks of the depth.
Have a Good day,
Best regards

Hello Chris,
I like the graphic lines in this fine composition, which makes for a much stronger image than trying to capture the whole of the bridge. Very good colours and clarity.

Hello, Chris -
Very nice image of this bridge, taken from a well-chosen POV which shows many interesting details. The blue tones of the clear sky make a fine background. Well done.

Hi Chris,
nice little car there :-) I am curious about your position here, the POV is great to show us the dimensions of the bridge and the light is a pleasure. Wonderful artificial red and blue.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Chris,

Appealing simplicity, and great lines in the composition!
The red tower really stands out, and I'm sad to say we don't have many colourful bridges over here...
Well framed with a good diagonal, sharp fine details!

Greetings,

It is an interesting bridge which gives the idea that it has been built in two different times because of the separated decks and the different style/architectural supporting pylons. For the photo, the usual good quality with nice colours and a nice POV. Well done.

Hey,
Great shot of the bridge - it seems to be floating over that ocean. Nicely framed and captured... something to rival the Golden Gate!

Hi Chris,
A great capture of this beautiful suspension bridge. The light was very appealing here and brings out the red pylons and the cables really well against the light blue sky. Good composition as well, thanks a lot for sharing!
Regards,
Lars
