Web Of The Steel Tunnel

Web Of The Steel Tunnel was the very next image shot after Web Of The Steel Arch

rita thought rotating the first image was a good idea, but instead of simply doing so with that image, I decided to try it on the next image shot. This is it.

Given the circumstances – a collaborative shoot with Andromedae whilst driving across the Sydney Harbour Bridge – the settings were the same – shot in RAW using a handheld Canon EOS 10D with Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX DG HSM lens and Warm and UV Filters, ISO 100, 1/250 sec at f5.6, at 60kph, roughly. I should also add this image was not cropped, whereas the first was, on the left and ride sides, but without shifting the centre.

Chris Clark

brilliant Image and Title Peter
Peter Hill replied

Hi Chris – thanks! The actual intended target, the Lane Cove Tunnel, didn’t turn out so well, so I guess it’s a compromise!
Robert Hardy

Superb symmetry and cracking composition!
Peter Hill replied

Hi Rob – thanks for that. I just showed my father a card I bought of the original and he was stumped. Cool.
Anne Staub

Elizabeth Bravo

This is just wonderful Peter, What a great piece and the one with it on the page is equally fantastic. I am marking it as a favorite for sure. I think the difficulty in a photo like this is finding the right spot and getting it all in. Your framing of the composition is perfect.
Peter Hill replied

thank you so much Elizabeth for your comments. Now I must give credit where credit is due and reiterate that I was the driver, urging my good pal Andromedae to shoot! shoot! as I steadied the car in the centre lane. Real close collaboration – but the finger that pressed that button and nailed the compo was hers!
Elizabeth Bravo

LOL I admit I didn’t read the side narrative until now. How funny. But how fantastic to get that shot. I thought the other was a different shot. Now I can see it….Still….you had the eye to tell her….do it….great job. I would do the same, but I have to give her a lot of credit SHE GOT IT.
Peter Hill replied

:) thanks Elizabeth – you’ve saved my bacon :)
Marguerite Foxon

amazing shot. I cant even imagine how you did this in a moving car!
Peter Hill replied

Thanks Marquerite
Cora Wandel

Excellent, I remember the arch shot, at first thought it was the same shot turned sideways. Actually, this one is more intriguing than the arch shot, love the angle you shot from. – Cora
Peter Hill replied

thanks Cora!
Glenn Alderson

Incredible image…...........it has to be an award winner at some stage…......well done!

I’ll make sure Andromedae gets 55% of any award!
Bob Fox

This is marvellous, Peter. It reminds me of an amazingly intricate merry-go-round.
Peter Hill replied

Leslie Battjes

Both of the images are powerful….love the complexity and yet the simplicity of this…the lines, the black & white….beautifully composed.
Peter Hill replied

Cora, thank you so much! I told Andromedae the good news. She’s chuffed too :)
Clark Thompson

This has remarkable patterns, tecture, lighting, symetry… shall I go on? I really like this shot. Well done!
Peter Hill replied

thanks Clark – I’m very happy with that assessment!!
Bradley Shawn ...

Absolutely flawless. I love both images. The textures are superb, and the balance (which is often hard to get with shots like this) is brilliant. A great eye both of you have, and steady hands on both the camera and the steering wheel. Great job both of you. It’s a fav for me!
Peter Hill replied

thanks very much, Bradley. Your comment is especially appreciated, and I have passed it on to Andromedae, who also says thanks!
Bradley Shawn ...

oh, and congrats on your feature!
Peter Hill replied

thanks again!

You definately have a gift for photography,not only to see the image but more importantly to produce the image.Great stuff.
Peter Hill replied

How did I miss this comment? Sorry Adrian!

You are very kind in your compliment, thank you. I am just kicking myself I walked away from the craft for 20 odd years before returning with digital. I’d love to do it as a crust earner.
Jens Helmstedt

Great work! Wonderful!
Peter Hill replied
