Remember, a while ago, I posted a composed astrophotography shot. So here I am with my real first tryout. I went to the Zeeland bridge with a friend, we were prepared for it. This location isn’t the best for that, too much light pollution, but it is ok for a start. Luckily I had my Haida Clear Night Filter, which made it possible to filter a part of the light pollution. After a few calculations, I normally should have taken the shots at 30s, but I saw there was too much ambient light. I decided to try it with 15s. I still have many stars. I composed 150 shots to obtain the star trails, I’m happy with the result. Also, I never make shots without thinking about my framing, which makes a medium shot a little bit better. And to finish this result, we took an extra shot with some red light on the bridge. Woohoow. All negative comments are welcome, I still have a lot to learn in this kind of photography. It was a great experience, the magic happens when you step out of your comfort zone.

Every time I go to the zeeland bridge, I always have a complete different atmosphere. The sun was just under, water was pretty calm. What a splendid reflection.

Third time I went to this bridge. Wanted to take some more different views of it. This time we had some nice cloudformations and, a little wind, and a fantastic sunset. Just perfect for the long exposure shots.

This is the second time I went to the Zeeland bridge in a short period. I absolutely wanted to go to the other side to catch some sunset shots. Here is the result. The wind stood completely still in the evening. It is a 6min long exposure and the clouds didn't move at all.
