Walked up the US span of the 1000 Islands Bridge yesterday and took this with the Tokina 11-16 UWA at 11mm. Click photo for larger version. ; See pano image in reply below.



My daughter proving she actually did it.

Bridge really rocks when the big trucks roll by.

Thankfully, Roger, the 1000 Islands Bridge was built correctly and has stood for 70 years without such a problem. ; In fact, it's a good thing it moves or it would suffer the save fate as the Tacoma bridge. ; Those engineers blew it. (pun intended)

PM, it's the first sun I've seen in two weeks. ; Back to rain today...sigh.

Here's the span from different angles to give you an idea of the scale of the bridge.

Now that my blog article has been posted I can show you the panoramic I did. ; This was done hand held because putting a tripod on a moving bridge would not have been of much help. ; I waited for a break in the traffic and fired off four exposures with about 20-25% overlap. ; The software had no trouble stitching them together though I should have straightened it a bit.
