Mackinac Bridge at Night

At long as I’m momentarily on the Mackinac area theme – here is a shot of the Mackinac Bridge at night.  As usual, I took a bunch of these to see what different settings would yield.  This one was the longest exposure, which I like for the smoothness of the lights reflected in the water (the shorter exposures weren’t really sharp, but they weren’t really blurred smooth either).  I think this is the best, but it could probably have benefitted from a shorter exposure to avoid the blown out lights and of course if I could have gotten them to stop traffic, just for a bit, there’d be no headlight & taillight stripes on the bridge.

Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS lens @ 85mm, 30 sec shutter, f/8.0, ISO 100

      Are you interested in a digital version or a print? I would be willing to sell the full-res version or upload it to some service that does prints. Pricing would depend on intended use.

        Thanks for the reply. I would like the digital version. I have 3 separate 11×17 frames that I would love to split this into to put on my entertainment stand. I dont think there is a print site that offers the option to split the photo that way, so I would have to do it myself.
