I was 300 feet above the river standing on the top of the tower and decided to use long shutter speeds to capture the light trails of the traffic moving through Spaghetti Junction. Louisville’s spaghetti junction at night from atop the western tower on pier three of the Ohio River Bridges Project.Ī couple of weeks ago I climbed up on the western tower on Pier Three to shoot the Ohio River Bridges Project Downtown Span and Louisville at night.

As the project winds down I will miss many of these men and women who will now move on to other jobs as the “Build America”.Īll orders received before Decemwill be ready for local delivery before Christmas. Along the way I have made many new friends in all the trades that it takes to accomplish something of this scale.Īs the embedded photographer it has been an honor to be a part of this incredible addition to the Louisville infrastructure. There were many long days where they worked from sunup until late in the night to make sure that the job was done correctly and on time. I have witnessed first hand the dedication and pride that every tradesperson brought to the job. I have seen the bridge emerge from the river as the towers were constructed, then seeing the first steel girders installed, seeing the cable stays as they were installed to suspend the bridge across the Ohio River and just last week being there as the final pavement was laid in place. The decision to photograph the construction is also the most ambitious single project I have undertaken in over forty years as a photographer. On Saturday December 5, the public will be given the opportunity to walk out on the bridge and see the result of two and a half years of construction.īeing able to be a part of this project is one of the most rewarding things I have done in my photographic career. The men and women building the Ohio River Bridges Project downtown span are nearly finished and in just a few days the first vehicular traffic will be allowed on the new bridge.

Once that was done I returned it to Photoshop CC and added an additional layer that I used Topaz Clarity as a filter to fine tune the final contrast and color. This image too is a three frame bracket merged in Photoshop CC and then opened in Adobe Camera Raw to make most of my basic image adjustments. The sky was very pastel along the southern side of the river and I wanted to capture that feature of the sunset as an additional element I felt it was important to include the clouds on the left to balance the composition. I was also taken by the rose color of the light and how it lit the forms of the piers. I set up my tripod just before the sun dropped below the horizon and hoped to get some good light on the piers that support the bridge.

In this image I wanted to shoot from Indiana back across the river to Kentucky under the Abraham Lincoln Bridge. The shoreline is Waterfront Park in Louisville, Kentucky.

Piers under the Abraham Lincoln Bridge at sunset. Adobe Photoshop CC does an excellent job of merging bracketed images.įor these images, I am using Photoshop CC layers and Topaz Clarity as a final layer to fine tune the contrast and color in the finished images. Rather than continue to work in NIK HDR eFex 2 I know it is time for me to find a viable solution to my desire to shoot and process HDR images.

Even though I have used NIK HDR eFex 2 for nearly ten years I realize that it will eventually be obsolete due to advances in both computers and operating systems. I am also experimenting with using Photoshop CC to merge my bracket sets because Google is no longer supporting the NIK HDR eFex 2 software. With the approach of Fall, I have started photographing Waterfront Park and the Louisville cityscape as the season progresses. Sunset cityscape of Louisville, Kentucky as fall approaches.
