I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would. I'm thinking of doing a series of road attractions (or what I think are attractions) this is the first. When I moved to the states it seemed to me America loved bridges and all the iterations of them.

comments are welcome

This is very nice Could be better in a full environment or composited with a photo...

Very nice, I love it.
Kind of reminds me of those eighties roller skate movies, or I imagine those flying monkeys riding there motorcycles from the movie the Wizard of Oz

very nice. i've been wanting to do a series of overpasses for a while along with street corners.

i can see this becoming a great scene to play with. lots of detail you could add. a careful mix of traffic, moving and stand still? weathered textures? signage? a car smashed into the yellow bumpers with a couple of squad cars at the scene of the accident if you are up to the challenge!!!

now you've got me thinking about building one.

great great start.


Yes. We love bridges, ..in fact, .. we'd prefer to only walk and drive on just bridges if possible. Please, .. none of this ground stuff anymore, ..just bridges thank you.

tom: I am toying with the right setting but haven't really struck on what is right yet. Ed Ruscha's work keeps rolling through my mind as a way to think about the image.
NicoR44: I was thinking film as a way to approach the image. all those films with wide expansive shots and some odd thing that the camera approaches and and is enveloped by. (mad Maxx is a good thing to think about for that)
rusteberg: Yes, to all of it. A Jeff Wall (Canadian photographer) kind of image maybe?
ivox3: have you seen what they are doing to Las Vegas? with all the walkways over the strip? It's hilarious. I love it.

thanks for the comments

Looking really good, val2. I agree that if you put a background image in, you'll be pretty much there, and the potential of a full scene like this is enormous. I look forward to seeing where you take this.

Cheers,
