Rainbow Bridge at night
February 24th, 2008
After shooting the lunar eclipse on Wednesday, and after getting the kids tucked sweetly into bed, I wanted to get down to the river to shoot the Folsom bridges at night under a full moon (ok, technically it was one day short of fullness). So off I went. It was quite dark walking down by the river, and I did not see anyone else walking around down there. There are two bridges over the American River in Folsom (and one pedestrian bridge). I thought the new bridge would make for a better night-time shot, and I think it would make for a good one earlier in the evening, but it was a bit dark this late at night. The old, historic Rainbow bridge was also quite dark, but I saw the full moon reflecting in the river in the foreground, which I thought was pretty cool, so I tried a long exposure. I think it turned out rather well. This photo was shot at iso 100, f/8, 176 secs.
[…] 21, 2008 Waterfall Photos Posted by maiden53 under Favorite Sites, Life Is Good | Tags: waterfalls | I found a sitementioned in the AZ Daily Sun for Waterfallswest. The photographer’s name is Leon Turnbull. He takes pics of waterfalls mostly on the west of the states and Canada. You should go check out his gallery. He has taken pics of Grand Falls just east of Flagstaff that are very beautiful. He has taken some of other places that I love in California. A fellow blogger, Talina, went to the Grand Falls about a week ago and she said that it is a great hike to the falls and that the hike is well worth it. Leon would like us all to Help Save the North Fork of the American River . I grew up along the American River and it is worth saving! So, please, check out his beautiful site! He has info on all of the waterfalls - such as driving directions, level of difficulty to get to the waterfall, if you can take your dog with you and lots of stuff about the waterfall. I am going to take my boys to the Grand Falls as soon as I can before the water flow decreases. And go to his blog to see Rainbow Bridge near Folsom Lake which is near Sacramento, CA - Rainbow Bridge is one of my old high school hangout places. […]
