Shutter: 1/40

 unique moment while I was waiting for the bridges to open:
the first bridge had a mechanical problem and needed to be opened and closed a few times. Usually not more than one bridge is lifted at a time. Got lucky :)
Can't imagine the traffic jam it caused as it took about 30 minutes to be fixed.
Just ran the raw file through Lightroom.
Major change: boosted Clarity to the max to give the photo a more futuristic and grudgy look.

Really nice. Not sure I like the top edge (I feel like I either want more or none) but the rest is wonderful

Jake: No I don't like it...
[Elwood Blues floors the pedal and jumps over an open drawbridge]
Jake: Car's got a lot of pickup.
Elwood: It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?

Nice composition, pushed the HDR a little too far for my personal tastes, though.
