2007 <---Bridge---> 2008

2007.12.29
None of these shots are enhanced. Only USM added for a little more pop. All of these taken with my Tokina 12-24 and Nikon D300.


I like the way the clouds are rolling in towards the bridge giving it some interest.

I believe this may be my favorite of the night! Please enlarge ... and this looks amazing when not scaled down by photoblog.

The wise man bridges the gap by laying out the path by means of which he can get from where he is to where he wants to go.

These shots were taken last night in Tacoma, WA and epitomize what the New Year means to me. Crossing over from the current year, into a brand new one. Reflecting on things that have happened and things that may happen.

I hope you enjoy ... I know I sure had fun taking them!

Happy New Year Everybody!!!

TamaraHarden I pass that bridge every morning, and it has never looked so beautiful. Guess I've never seen it at dark.

dkelly greetings from chapel hill nc

all i have to say is FRONT PAGE

Madoc Wonderful night shots, really.
(The only thing that would make it better was if the horizon was straight)
I really love how the bridge stands out with all the lights on it.
And the clouds on the last two shots are superb.
I agree with you, the best is the last.
Madoc · 2007-12-30: 15:08
youlookmahvelous mat, these are gorgeous, I love how the sky and water are mirrored and such lovely soft lights and color.

chrisfly Wonderful pictures, and yes especially the last shot! Happy New Year my friends!!!!!
chrisfly · 2007-12-30: 18:25
Genevieve the last is also my favourite...and as Madoc says, it would be perfect with a straight horizon. I love night shots...these are so crisp and the clouds are amazing.

vollenda Stunning shots! The clouds add great oomph to the sky. The lights and their reflections in the water are just gorgeous!

pixkid Hey Mat. Now I know what you meant with your new camera! These are astounding, almost surreal! Well shot, and nice timing with those clouds. I bet you were out kinda late getting these and playing with your new DSLR. Happy New Year (although I'm kinda late)!
