pulled over on the way home today and walked up the bridge, I was trying to get another highrise with the fog around it but by the time I got up there not so good.

Nice shots, that's a crazy bridge.

They build them level over here

I really like the first shot. Great composition in that one. What camera/lens were you using? The second picture looks like it's got a case of lens distortion with the trees leaning into the center of the picture.

yah this bridge was a disaster when they built it, they had to use explosives to bring down an 80 ft. section, additionally the four main pillars had to be replaced during construction due to extensive cracks and it was a yr. late in opening.

thanks Indy, yep lens distortion for sure, I drove by today and noticed the palms were not leaning that way, these were taken with Canon 5D and Canon 17-40 lens....how's this one, better?

I tend to get lens distortion myself when using my 18-70mm lens, but it's pretty easily correctable in photoshop. Looks a lot better corrected
