Belle Isle Bridge early in the morning

The bridge is actually called the McArthur Bridge. This was an early morning photo shoot at Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan. We were there for sunrise and this photo was taken just before sunrise. This photo is taken from the park at the entrance to the park, you’re looking across the Detroit River to Belle Isle itself. The sun is way to the left and out of the shot.

This was shot at ISO 100, f/14 and set for a 1 second exposure, the long expose is part of why the water looks so smooth (see the difference in this cropped ⅓ second exposure photo I took just seconds before. I shot this in RAW with no editing after. I normally don’t shoot in raw (the images are too huge) but I plan to explore more with some post production but didn’t with this photo.
