Rio–Antirrio Bridge, Greece

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 14 May 2012 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

The 2,880 metre long cable-stayed suspension bridge that crosses the gulf of Corinth near Patras in Greece.

I see the automatic exif data is missing on this image for some reason. It was photographed handheld using a Nikon D700 and 70-300vr lens at 165mm; 1/800th of a second and f5.6. ISO was 200 which is the normal base iso for the D700.

@Gérard Beullac: Thanks Gérard!....as we were there in Spring rather than Summer we had some really interesting skies (for photography that is!)

Superb! The bridge seems so fragile under the huge cumulonimbus!

The contrast of the lines of the bridge and the dramatic clouds a the top is wonderful!

Ian, fantastic. The tones are spot on and as always excellent composition. There arn't ant camera/lens details for the shot.

@Andrew Atkinson: Hi Andrew - yes, the automatic exif data was missing when I uploaded the photo so I added it into my text underneath the photo instead.

I love the interplay, as if the top of the bridge was pointing to the clouds in order to pierce them all. Graphic & poetic as well.
