The Crossing of Guffey Bridge

Description

The Photo Story:

I arrived at Celebration Park near Melba, Idaho right about midnight and parked my car.  As my eyes were still adjusting to the dark, I asked another photographer with a light on (we wear headlamps when we’re getting setup) if he knew where the bridge was.  He just pointed straight ahead as though I was blind.  I was. It was pitch black out there.

It’s takes a long time for your eyes to adjust to the dark and to fully take in the glory that is the night sky.  This image helps bring it to life with a very long exposure.  As I was taking several 70-second exposures of the foreground, a car happened to turn on their lights and perfectly illuminate the bridge for just the right amount of time, allowing the red of the steel to pop.  Thanks to that one car, we get to see this bridge in full color along with the beauty of the stars above.

• Canon 5D with 14mm lens
• Sky: Seven stacked, tracked exposures at 45-seconds
• Foreground: Two 70-second exposures

My Recommendation:
This print hangs beautifully on the wall as a Metal Print at 18×12 or larger.  No frame is necessary as it floats off the wall just a bit and creates it’s own sense of a frame with a slight shadow.

Shipping:
It ships directly to your door from the print house in California.  Shipping costs are quite reasonable, around $20.

Want a unique size or design?
Yes!  I can work with you to make this photo fit your office or home in any size or shape you need, in any format or material.  I work with a fabulous print house that can do amazing things.  Just contact me and we’ll get you exactly what you need.
