I won’t go into much detail about the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge since I will be posting all of my images of the bridge with a history of the bridge on my personal blog.

The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that crosses the Cooper River and connects down Charleston, South Carolina to Mount Pleasant. This eight lane bridge is on U.S. Route 17 and was opened in 2005 was designed to replace the old cantilever truss bridges. – Source: Wiki.

About the Image

The image was shot by hand with my Sony Nex-3N and a Sony SEL16F28 16mm f/2.8. Although it was bright, it was after 4pm and the sun was casting crazy shadows and on my subject.

I then edited it in Adobe Lightroom. Then I post processed the image with Topaz Labs Clarity to add more texture, remove shadows, boost brightness and contrast.
