Newport Bridge At Night

I am so glad you enjoyed my full moon photo. Thanks for all your great comments!

Today I thought I would share another night shot. This is the Newport Bridge up in Rhode Island. It is one of my favorite bridges. There is a lovely park where you can sit on a bench and just marvel at this view. My hubby and I were the only ones there that night and we set up the tripod. The weather was beautiful. It was the beginning of spring.

Luckily I had my tripod with me on that weekend trip. I also used the remote control so between that and the tripod I could ensure there would not be any shaking of the camera while the shutter was open.

Night shots have always been a challenge for me so I was very excited that I was able to get a clear picture. I especially love the wavy reflection in the water.

  2. It's just beautiful Cathy!! It reminds me of the George Washington bridge in New York. At night it has a very striking presence, just like this one. :-)
