Bridge and Ducks

Bridge and Ducks

I met a fellow RedBubbler, Adam Mattel yesterday and we did a photo shoot together. It was a very enjoyable morning and a pleasure to meet a member that lives nearby.

This is one the images captured along the Susquehanna river at Harrisburg, PA. This site was settled due to the founder Harris operating a ferry across the river.

This has been my most popular image to date. It has been viewed over 900 times and is a favorite for 46 members of RB.

    yow! did we go to the same place? smile I love the two birds on the bottom… they add a lot to the shot I think.

  • Russell Fry replied

    LOL, yes we went to the same place. I’ll show you a photo of you taking a shot by the river.

    I agree about the ducks in this one. I had three or four more captures of them in flight, but the framing was not as good so I chose this image for the impact.

    Wow this is beautiful. I love how you have the ducks in the bottom corner. Great composition.

  • Russell Fry replied

    Thanks for the comments Cathy. The ducks are as captured. I had the tripod set and taking shots when they swam from along the shore and then took flight. I simply kept shooting. :-)

  • J.K. York

    J.K. York

    wow, and wow again. you really nailed this shot. great framing through the arches with more arches. everything clicks, the balance of light, composition, reflections, and the pair of geese. superb shot.

  • Russell Fry replied

    Thank you very much for the comments. The scene was there for the shot in the morning sunlight, but the ducks were an unexpected delight. I saw them start to swim out from the edge of the water and just started shooting. I was going to post a shot of them swimming in the water, but it pales in comparison to this image.

    Thanks again…. :-)

    Sometimes I look at an image and I think to myself “I wish I could have captured that myself!” This is definitely one of them. Congratulations on this fine photograph..

    The peculiarity of the Susquehanna is that it is simultaneously: wide, majestic, annoying and in a lot of ways useless. The darned thing is broad and most-of-the-time much to shallow for commerce. It’s a nice source of sweet water, and some hydro-electric… too often a sewer in our past, all with an irritating habit of flooding out its neighbors. Still, it can be so provocative… and you’ve caught that here and juxtaposed the muscle the Commonwealth’s been able to muster against its other irritating habit to be a roadblock to all East-West traffic across the Keystone State. So much interesting going on here in one tranquil capture Russell. Thanks for sharing…

  • Russell Fry replied

    Thank you Lois! That was one of those magical moments when all of the elements just come together. They were swimming along the river bank until I had the camera set up on the tri-pod, a few test shots to get the settings, and they they took off! Just magical….. :)
