Bridge Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is one of two pedestrian bridges crossing the thames between Waterloo station and Embankment. I believe they were inaugurated during the Jubilee year.
You can see the London eye on the other side of the bridge

Hello Eric,
2 images en une, enfin je trouve, en faite y a juste cette rembarde a droite qui me gene un peu, sinon je trouve la vue a travers le pont bien degagee avec une lumiere assez fort mes qui permet de faire resortir les silhouettes....et finalement c'est pas trop genant !
A+

Clever playing with OE here, great use of light, especially the way the eye is blanched out to its left.

This is really good. Eric. It seems to capture perfectly the atmosphere of a bright, cold winter's day in London.
The light is wonderful, and I like especially how the London Eye appears almost like a halo around the head of the man on the bridge.
I also like the cross-processed look; it's not too overpowering and I think it adds to the impact of your shot.
Great!
Cheers,
Ben

Hi Eric,

fantastic shot!! I love everything in this extraordinary pic, composition, colors, overexposure... and specially the way the London eye surrounds the reading man silouette. GREAT!! :)

TFS.

Best regards.

I will not mark this as a favorite because i've never did it ... but it is a favorite to me. Really surprising photo Eric, maybe the best one i've seen around lately (and this may be unfair to other great photos), but this one made me smile after seeing it.

You nail it perfectly, well done.

Eric: I'm not sure what you've been doing with your PP lately, but it yields a very surreal tone. This is really good stuff, in the artistic sense. regards, c

a lovely high contrast shot eric.. a very successful pp but i wonder why you left those splashes of green... surprised no one mentioned it, this screams b&w to me... maybe i'm wrong, too bad i don't have more time to try a ws... other than that my only wish is that the bottom right was a bit less empty (no big deal) a great photo overall, the bridge and the wheel together (perhaps not enough just by themselves) makes the place instantly recognizable..

Bonsoir Eric

Xavier

Love it, Eric!
What a great contrasty shot! The compo is excellent, the London Eye circling the man's head is fantastic as it fades away, the colours are exquisite... what can I say? Love it, Eric. Strong and gutsy work, full of graphism.
Puszi,
sasa

Bonsoir Eric,

Ce que j'aime :
La perspective sur la passerelle, les silhouettes, les forts contrastes et ton traitement.

Ce que j'aime moins :
Le ciel trop surexposé et la rembarde à droite qui coupe la compo.

Mais j'aime l'idée, il y a un style très sympa ;-)

Bonne soirée,
Stéphanie.

cobbydale (1928) 2006-11-28 15:44

Great shot into the light Eric. The silhouetted guy on the right adds good interest and green colour tones work really well. TFS. Leon.

MKING (3050) 2006-11-28 17:33

Not much needs be said here Eric, definitely struck a winning shot here; the high contrast, exaggerated perspective and the sihouettes are all brilliant and I'm surprised by how little PP work was needed to 'cross process' it looking at your workshop.

brevbrev14 (372) 2006-11-29 3:41

Hi Eric, wooow!!!i love this sttrong contrast, your great composition, the lines and the shadows of this image, the perspective...the pattern of the pavement AND THE PEOPLE!!
WONDERFUL WORK AND A FAV. for me!
ciao!

Salut Eric,
Ha la j'accroche! Comme ca t'as vu un ange a Londres... Bonne "POV". Un petit London Eye "Leparcquien", pas conventionel avec ce gros contraste, le personnage plonge dans sa lecture, le TC etc... Bien vu!

Tres belle image, Eric. J'aime beaucoup comment tu as calque ton nouveau style, ces tons si originaux au un cadre nouveau: Londres. Composition tres precise avec un excellent rendement des details.
Bravo,
Francis
ps A sec mais...

J'aime bien la décomposition de deux mouvements dans cette photo : une aspiration vers le côté gauche, dirigée par les lignes de fuites du pont, et l'attente du quidam sur le côté droit, juste en plein dans l'oeil du London Eye, un peu mystérieux avec son col relevé.

Super photo, le traitement est parfaitement adapté à l'ambiance générale. Bien joué.

BOnjour Eric
J'adore le traitment croise (cele que je reusi pas encore de comprendre) mais que done un touch superbe aux scenes urbaines.
J'aime bien la siluete contraste a ciel blanche et au pont.
Tres bien fait
A+
