Bridges

Charles Bridge Hyper

This is the famous Charles Bridge(Karluv Most) in Prague. I have photographed this bridge from many angles, finally in hyper.

This was shot with my Lubitel rig, although this one was done cha-cha style. It is on Provia f100 film, but shutter speed, aperture and stereo base are long forgotten. This slide was a challenge to mount, but had I cropped it a bit more, I probably could have saved some serious frustration.

 

 

Charles Bridge Prague

Another hyper shot of Charles Bridge (Karluv Most), probably on the same day, from my Lubitel rig. My bar maxes out at about 18″ which this could be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stag Bridge in Pisek, South Bohemia.

This bridge is older (late 13th century) than Charles Bridge in Prague (early 15th century), but built in the same style. The river Otava, which it spans, flows into the Vltava river, so a riverboat traveling downstream will arrive quickly in Prague to pass under the younger cousin Charles Bridge.

Rural Scarborough Suspension Bridge

Keeping with the bridge theme I decided to include this image from last fall. It was intended as a fall colour shot but I decided to also include this rural bridge in suburban Scarborough (a suburb of Toronto). This area is difficult to develop, so while it is only a short distance from the ever expanding subdivisions, I hope this quaint bridge carries on for a long time. There are two other, similar bridges nearby, one of which is 15 seconds drive up the road.
