 Night shot from the Riverwalk in New Orleans of the Crescent City Connection bridge. This bridge spans the Mississippi river and connect New Orleans to the Westbank.

I loved this challenge because it gave me a chance to learn my camera a lot more. I didn't have the money for a neutral density filter to capture a daytime shot so I decided to try a night shot. I captured a few pics of some buildings around the NOLA area but thought this one came out the best. I enjoyed it and I hope you do too. Building up to this shot I read that I should have my ISO very high for dark/night time shots. I didn't realize that I only had it on 400 until I got home. Oh well, I like the way it came out next time I need to remember ALL settings before shooting! LOL so much to remember when trying to get a perfect shot!

PP:
levels, curves, selective color (black), hue/saturation.

I recognized the city.... I have taken a photo from that exact place. Great use of time and light.

This pic sucks. To much rail in front of lens is distracting.

Great color cast that works well with the subject.
