Peace Bridge

[Rinkdaddy]

I am in the process of entering a photo contest for best night lighting photograph of the new LED lighting system on the Peace Bridge that connects Fort Erie, On, Canada to Buffalo, NY, USA. I have lots of pictures that I took but can only submit one. Your opinion on which one of the 4 shots you like the best would be appreciated.

For some reason the resolution looks off when I uploaded these pics. Trust me they are a lot sharper on my monitor.

Would love to see these the way you do!!

Resize them to 800x600 or post them on Flickr or PicasaWeb. The one you upload here has to be less than 250K or it will be resized by the board software.

okay, assuming the resolution is good, I like the third one. Otherwise I would advise you go out and reshoot to get sharper images.

Looks like a compression issue for sure. If the filesize is kept below 250k, the image will look great.

That said, I can still tell that I too like shot 3 best but I'd love to see some reuploads on this series and I can help if need be.

Thx - Marko

Here are the pictures of the bridge again resized to 800X600.

These pictures are still not as sharp as I would like. I shot these pictures using manual mode with the shutter set to bulb on my nikon D80. I tried different times for exposure any where between 5 to 10 seconds before leasing the shutter. I had the camera on a tripod but it could be the movement of my finger on the shutter button that is causing some blur. I think I will reshoot these using my remote shutter release to see if that helps. This is my first crack at night photography with out using the night mode on the camera.
