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.
