@Eiman: Thanks Eiman!
@Andrew Atkinson: I only had a very short time at the bridge Andrew so I was pleased to get a photo that worked out ok. Compositionally I was mainly interested in the line that the shadow of the bridge was making but it's amazing how quick shadows move when you are doing long exposures! - my first couple of tries at an exposure of 2 minutes didn't work as the shadow had moved too much to the left side so I switched to 1 minute.
PS - I'm picking up a new camera today - the same one as yours and it will replace the D700 which I've sold.
@Andrew Atkinson: The increased DR is the main thing I'm looking forward to Andrew and it will be nice to be able to do these square crop compositions and still have 24mp. It will be interesting to see if it makes any visible difference to the photos I take for web and print.
@Anna.C: Thanks Anna - it's a very different bridge of course from the one at the île de Ré but I do love photographing bridges of all different designs and locations!
@Gérard Beullac: Thanks Gérard!
@Gérard Beullac: Yes, I know!...I was very happy with the D700 and wasn't planning on switching cameras but I'd won quite a lot of money in photo competitions over the last year - the prize money was in the form of camera store vouchers so between them and selling the D700 I had enough to get a D800.
@Eric C.: Thanks Eric!
@Curly: I don't get to visit the area very much these days Curly, although in my pre-camera days I was a regular visitor with architectural work for nearly 2 years. It's a huge and spectacular bridge though isn't it!
@Ian Smith: Thanks Ian!
I'm getting the D800 rather than the e version.
@Sally: Hi Sally - the NuffnagX app worked ok then!
Re this shot of the Humber bridge - I was literally only there for half an hour as a quick detour after a meeting I'd been to in Howden, before heading back to the office in Manchester. You're going to tell me that you live in Howden now areen't you!
