Shell and Bridge

Brent Pearson

Shell and Bridge

Last Sunday I wend down to Sculpture By The Sea at Bondi Beach. The sky was amazing. It rained all the way down in the car (at 5am) then stopped as I parked. The clouds threatened rain for the 90 min I was taking photos, but then just as I was getting ready to go, a window opened up in the clouds and beautiful golden light streamed over the sculptures. The dark threatening clouds made the perfect backdrop.

This image is a 3 shot HDR image.

I printed this image up and it looks great in my hall… It has become one of my favorites.

    I love it. it looks so sureal and unearthy. w/O knowing that it is a true scalpture, I would think it was a photo and a rendering composite. The frame seems to come out of the shell as in an unfinished part. Light and color are just perfect.

    What an amazing shot from what must have been a really cool event. I so wish I could have been there. Yes, you were lucky with the lighting and dramatic sky, but to give credit where it`s due, you found the angle and comporition and ended up with a masterpiece. Congrats on some fine work!

    Hey, I love this , it makes me think of something man made versus natural & almost like a giant shell washed up upon the shore. The lighting is superb, very iconic & beautiful.
