A new bridge in Leeds

I was out with a fellow photographer called Richard the other night, getting some HDR and RAW shots in Leeds when he mentioned this new bridge down by all the new flats on Wellington Street.

So we headed down there, you can get to it from the riverside next to the new entrance to the station by wetherspoons.

It's a curvey number, reminiscent of the Gateshead Milennium bridge, only very small and doesn't appear to tilt when ships come in!


These first 2 shots are with my 80-200 F2.8, taken from a little way back with a wideish aperture so that I got the foreground to blur a little, espcecially the decking.

The blue tones come from lowering the colour temperature - you can do this by setting the whilte balance to Tungsten on your camera.



And finally the shot of the deck - this is really low with a 17mm lens, the blues are done in the same way as above
