I’ve had a crack at the bridge, tried to get a few different shots to the usual angles people have gone for.

Some wonderful shots there Sam. I can’t understand why there are no responses here. Some very good control of exposure, especially in the fourth shot. A nice set that deserves more comment.
I don’t remember seeing these before so thanks to Fergus for bringing it up.
I don’t remember missing posts with the old version of the site so must check what I am doing wrong.
Anyway back to the photographs.
Some nice work here with nice angles and shapes.
I like 3 and 5 best especially 5 where you must have been in danger if there was traffic. :shock:
I do think the top of the bridge is very close to the top edge of the frame in the last 3 images.
Difficult shot to get in this genre but you did well. Love the b/w’s. In most of them there is probably a bit of competing areas of interest/desire for me. The excellent quality of the b/w’s make me yearn for simple lines to get the spirit of the bridge but there are quite a few extraneous items in most of them which distract a little for me or at least feels like there’s maybe a tad too much going on. I like the last one the best because the lines in the photo seem harmonious to me and nothing is working against its neighbour so to speak if that makes sense. I do love the quality of the b/w’ tones though – very nice.
