Old Tenterfield Railway Bridge

[lesovers]

Just completed some work in Armidale NSW and finally, after many trips, decided to stop at the old Tenterfield railway bridge. Unfortunately the lighting is not that great at all as we arrived at midday (had a meeting in the morning before leaving Armidale and heading back to Brisbane). As you can see it is very very dry.

No much between these to pictures just a slight green tint on the D800.

I really like photos of old stuff, especially old bridges for some reason! So yeah, I liked the whole set. I keep going back to number 10 for some reason, it's my favourite but I'm not sure why. Personally I think number 11 would look better if the focus was right at the front, rather than going blur-focus-blur, but thats probably just me.

Thanks Amran, wish I was there at sunset or sunrise, this is a really beautiful bridge. Agreed with 10. this is the best shot by far and thanks for the advise on the focus point on 11. Not that happy with the rest but posted all anyway.

Only had the D700 for a few months and regardless of the 12mp it is a very neural and brilliant camera.

Nothing wrong with blur-focus-blur in the right situation IMO. But you are right, because the focus is dead centre it throws me off a little!

#3 is the winner for me. Top comp & exposure, sky could be brought back a little in PS. Apart from that, thumbs up!!
