Deception Pass Camping July 2014

[Mike Lewis]

That's a nice photograph. The shot I took of the bridge was from roughly that location, though up on that little knob that juts out into the water a bit. The camera was on a tripod and I used a 30-second shot to get the water to have that glassy, surreal look you see in long time exposures. I didn't think about vibrations from the bridge "fuzzing" it out.

The image is sort of neat, anyway, as only the bridge is blurred and everything else is sharp. I should print it big, call it "Ghost Bridge" or something like that and sell it to some doofus for $300.

Go up on the bridge with camera on tripod and you'll discover how much it moves. Don't even have to take a picture.

And, if you are shooting from a helicopter, don't press the camera against the window. Better yet, ask pilot to take the door off. Highest shutter speed you can.
