Sunshine Skyway Bridge

Today is going to be a two post day.
This morning I went out to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge for sunrise. This is a very difficult to capture subject to me and I am still working at getting something that I am really happy with. The problem is that the yellow suspension cables are lit up before dawn, but there is such a contrast between them and the sky that it is hard to capture. You are also a good distance away on the old Skyway Bridge, now the Skyway fishing pier. After the sun comes up the bridge does not stand out much from the sky. The first shot is similar to one I have done before. Using HDR techniques I was able to capture some detail in both the bridge and the predawn sky. The second shot is of the actual sunrise. Of course it doesn’t line up with the bridge how I would like, but its still worthy of capturing.
