evening lights, a photo from Budapest, West

Photographer's Note

This is another image taken of the Chain Bridge in Budapest, looking back up towards Buda hill, when I was there earlier this year.

Click here for my other image, looking back the opposite way and some history and background about this beautiful structure.

NOT bad at all! I like the low position you were at. The darker clouds in the back is important in this pic and makes the picture more alive!

Hello Cora...
this bridge HAS to be in colors....not in b&w.
You captured this very well , all the diferent colors are fantastic, it could be a NORWHEL picture (and that is a compliment!!)

bye

I love bridges at night, this one is perfect. I would not change anything. It is not an easy job to take a good picture at night, congratulations.

Hi Cora,

Really beautiful. I find it so difficult to take photos when it is dark - this one is just amazing.

Hello Cora, this is a fine shot of this famous bridge. It's perfectly exposed and sharp. Your timing of the shot is spot-on to capture the deep blue of the sky in those few wonderful moments before darkness. Beautifully composed too.

Hello Cora,
this is absolutely brilliant !
Superb POV resulting in an interesting composition.
Exposure management looks very good too.
Well done.

Best regards, Daniel

P.S. Out of curiousity (if you don't mind), can I ask how you got your screen name "Ayobami" ?
In Yoruba (a language spoken in some parts of West Africa - including the South Western part of Nigeria where I am originally from), "Ayobami" is a name. "Ayo" generically means joy (or gladdness, happiness, etc..) and there we have many names that are preceeded with "Ayo..".
Then "Ayobami" (pronounced in Yoruba as; Ah-your-bar-me), literally translated into English means "Joy met me" .

So you are one of my tribe.. ! (lol)
