Connecting two islands, a photo from Hyogo, Kinki

Photographer's Note

Akashi-Kaikyō bridge connects the two islands of Honshu and Awaji. From a view of administration the Honshu site of the bridge belongs to Kobe, although it is quite a piece away from Kobe city, rather beeing in Maiko, close to Akashi and Kakogawa.

The bridge is one of the longest suspension bridges in the world, with the central span beeing 1990 m, the total length around 3911 m.

The area around the bridge is heavily industrialized, especially the coastal area. After some searching i found this little spot of stone beach and there were even some tiny waves.

I had to tilt the original image a little bit, that's why the top of the bridge is a little bit close to the upper end of the image than i actually wanted.

Hello Franz,

Your picture is real a perfect technical shot with a wonderful subject as the long Akashi-Kaikyō bridge.
Your picture is taken out of a perfect angle, this create depth and perspective.
Sharpness and clarity are perfect.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,

Hi Franz
Unusual and inspired choice in black and white, in would not have thought of this idea in a bazillion years and it works perfectly! That really is the cool thing about TE, seeing things differently and getting to see inspired ideas like this. I really like the position of the mighty bridge, it looks great in the scene and the textures of the water and shore are beautiful. Wonderful photo.
Cheers
Noel

Hello Franz,
I like the POV in this photo that uses the crashing of the surf as a foreground for the bridge without being obtrusive. DOF is good, too. All in all, a high quality frame, TFS!
Regards,
MT
