Vincent Thomas Bridge

Here are some photos I took the other day of the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro, California.

The dramatic green bridge has been designated as the official landmark welcoming visitors to Los Angeles. San Pedro's Golden Gate was the first bridge of its kind to be constructed on pilings. It is designed to withstand winds of 90 miles per hour, double that required by code. The overall length of the bridge is 6,050 feet, with a main suspension span of 1,500 feet and 500-foot spans on either side. The towers are 365 feet high

These photos were post processed in LR I was try some other things in LR. I am not sure what you would call this effect I kinda like it though..

All were shot with 1DMMKIIn with Canon 24-70 f/2.8 or 15mm f/2.8 fisheye lens.

C&C welcomed I would like to know your thoughts......

Enjoy,
Brian

Hi Brian
I like better the 1st pic, however as C&C are asked, I would have tried to save the sky highlights and PS the roof in the low left corner that distract and doesn't bring anything imHo…
The the bridge would take off by itself, really powerfull, you caught the perspective very well.

my 2 cts of Euro (more value than $!-)

Hello Nicolas,

I took the roof out and punched up the sky some, thank you for your input.

Better?

Brian

Much better to me!
Don't you think that the bridge is now much more "powered"?
