Excellent! How long did you have wait to take this?
Thanks! The concept first hit me around the end of November when I saw the city council had finally gotten round to fixing and upgrading the lighting on the bridge. I knew the shot would need calm conditions to get reflections, so I've spent most of the time since (im)patiently studying the weather forecast every day waiting for the opportunity. Naturally this had to coincide with wettest and windiest December on record. Anyway, we finally got a break last Monday and I have to say conditions were as close to perfect as could be expected. I'm pretty pleased with it myself - the end result is as close as can be expected when I visualised the shot.

Thanks guys and yeah...there's not much room for error. I'm content to keep practicing though. :D View attachment 609393
Not too sure if the lack of dof works too well with this shot... there's a lot of detail there I would like to see.

Well you'll just have to wait for the f8 shots. :)
Very nice composition. Is this done with a straight ground glass focusing screen? When my eyes were good I had a 1.2 on a Nikon with a ground glass. I liked the versatility of that.

This one was shot using live view mode x10. I usually just use the camera's viewfinder, but as my eyes are failing badly these days I thought I'd play it safe on this one.
