Description

Just learned that a good friend of more han 20 years has cancer, so things are a little unsettling at the moment. This image was taken back in January of this year as I crossed the Bay Bridge. One of those things were luck played a major roll. I opened the window, held up the camera and pressed the release shutter, all while driving. As for myself, poison oak is gone, but the ear is still a small problem.

This is an excellent shot! So moody!! I'm too timid to go darker with my black & white... I think it brings everything out so much more! You took an excellent photo!

Hello Egmont, I find your Bay Bridge shot wonderful, the light especially :)) You have been enough lucky to be able to make this shot when driving without having any accident :)) Next time, please, stop your car before taking a photo :)) I love your shots, but don't need you to take such a level of risk to satisfy RR members :)))) Anyway, a wonderful shot :))

ahhhhh...quite an amazing capture that almost looks a bit surreal. dunno why...perhaps it's the feeling of fast motion of the clouds??? regardless, i love this! lighting and shadows are perfect!!!! what a dangerous and daring capture!!!!!

Very SURREAL...the lighting makes the buildings look kind of 2 dimensional. Sorry to hear about your friend.

The contrast between sky and buildings is just amazing, what time of day was this taken? I must agree with Sharky, my luck would be a huge truck or bus going past just as I pressed the shutter release! Brilliant framing =)

Now I'm guessing you took this while someone else was driving? Not easy to do! the skyscape is in focus! And the foreground has only a slight blur, due to movement. Nice picture!
