Vasco da Gama Bridge

Posted by Rui (Leiria, Portugal) on 29 May 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

This is the "Vasco da Gama" Bridge in Lisbon.
It has 17,9 Km total length, and was built in 1998, before the EXPO98.

Thanks a lot for all the comments. They all mean a lot to me.

wow -- great shot Rui -- this composition is juts SUPERB!!!! how did you do the vignetting?

@dj.tigersprout: Thanks mate. Well let me explain you what I did: First of all, balanced the sky and water using a ND grad 0,9 (-3 stops) filter, so the sky was a little bit darker on the top. To get the vignetting I used the lens correction from Lightroom, to enhance the effect. Then was just to convert to BW and setup the channel colors.

A minimalist image that accents the architectural design of the elements present in the bridge. Nice b&w. That cloud makes a big difference in the image too IMO.
