Over & Under

Over & Under

Over and under the Calatrava bridge, Venice, Italy.
We were lucky enough to be able to float underneath the bridge as well and I was so surprised to notice that you can see the people walking over it. Most of the bridge walking area is made of glass, and last night I went over it for the first time since it was opened last month and only just realised that there was this interesting photo opportunity. I liked the idea of combining the two aspects in this diptych.
For the left hand image I was able to set up a tripod and focus decently. For the right hand image I was in a boat being tossed around in the Grand Canal beneath the bridge, and had to use an automatic stability setting. Hence the grainy result.

Optimal viewing for cards on a black background.

    Wicked cool (that means FANTASTIC IMAGE!!!) ... wow Janys!

  • Janys Hyde replied

    Emily! Kind as always. This bridge has caused a lot of controversy – not so much because of the actual design, but because of the politics and economics of this choice. Personally I find the design very beautiful in all its “simplicity”,

    Janys, this is a fascinating composition, again it is a pleasure to learn through your words what the photograph is of. What a unique and beautiful bridge this is, I particularly like the reflections of people. Without your words it would be impossible to fully appreciate this photograph, for me at least. – Cora

    Thank you Cora. I hope to visit during the day when there are less people around and try for a different atmosphere. The tourist season should calm down soon, so the opportunity should arise.
