due south


Always go with your passions. 
Never ask yourself if it’s realistic or not. 
~ Deepak Chopra

Photographing from bridges is tricky. Wind. Vibration. Wind. Vibration.
Pedestrians and cyclists. 
Not to mention traffic.
Fast shutter speeds are the best, no doubt.
But, I'm learning that even long exposures can work
because any slight and short-lived movement
 is insignificant relative to the long exposure time;
therefore, it doesn't seem to show up in the final image

I'm not sure whether this observation will stand the test of time (haha),
but it worked for the fireworks, and it worked pretty well here.

Sounds like a good reason to keep shooting long exposures from bridges to test the hypothesis!
