Congratulation Chris Lord! My Dad was a bridge engineer who designed bridges as a child he would tell me about them. Love bridges to this day. Capturing a lovely moment in time.
Chris Lord replied:
Praise from an expert then :-) I'm honored. Thank you very much indeed Susan. Cheers
John Rivera
Love This! Beautiful capture and work!
Chris Lord replied:
Thanks much John, pleased that you enjoyed it. It's the result of my first night out as an organizer with the NYC Photographers meetup group and I was quite a nervous wreck at the time I took it :-)

Stunning, stunning image, Chris ... fabulous composition you really bring us into the image ... I especially like the tiny lights on the bridge that you've captured!!! l/f
Chris Lord replied:
Thanks very much Lois, this was the first image I made on my first meetup as an organizer (with the NYC Photographers Meetup Group). We had a great evening (even if I say so myself! :-) ) and I even managed to get a couple of good images out of it. Glad you enjoyed this one. Cheers

Oh my.... such gorgeous color and light! Awesome work!
Chris Lord replied:
I was late getting there plus I was running the meetup, but after making my tripod ready while running down a hill to the water's edge and guiding nearly 30 people to the right spot, I managed to shoot all the exposures for this one image plus get everyone else happy! All in a complete panic! :-) Thanks so much Lori.

Gorgeous sunset at the bridge Chris! L/F
Chris Lord replied:
I led a meetup there and had a bunch of 'togs waiting for me as the train there decided to stop in a tunnel for ages. We barely made it to the sunset before the sun dropped below the horizon but I managed to make this image anyway! Sometimes you have to work a little magic! :-) Thanks very much Tami, cheers
