Over The Water (2) ...

Over The Water (2) ...
The second of my panorama shots from our trip to Dalgety Bay and Queensferry.

This one has been created from 17 (no that's not a typo) images stitched together in Photoshop and shows the full expanse of the infamous rail bridge that stretches across the River Forth.

As with the last one the size and the detail in the original file is pretty impressive, but once again I've had to reduce it somewhat for upload which sadly means a lot of the detail is lost. Still, I hope there's enough left for you guys to get some enjoyment from seeing it.

The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge and considered to be both an iconic structure and a symbol of Scotland. It was designed by the English engineers Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker, work on it began in 1882 and it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

With a total length of 8,094 feet (2,467m) it was the longest single cantilever bridge span in the world until 1917 when the Quebec Bridge in Canada was completed. It continues to be the world's second-longest single cantilever span and it was a pleasure to get time to photograph it.

Please try it large on black for best effect.

Excellent! Shooting from further away shows the arches to perfection, my version from the usual viewpoint is considerably foreshortened.
With 17 shots you worked with a lot of overlap - no wonder the stitching looks perfect! This certainly would look good on a wall!
I gather photoshop keeps the EXIFs- I stitch with MS ICE and they are always gone.-(

So pleased you like it Gudrun and thank you for bringing to my attention your own shots, which are most impressive.

With regards the EXIF data I've altered my account settings (for the moment) so you should be able to see the information now! :)

If I had the money I would pay £40 -50 for each print.. they are worth it to collectors. They are worth more the bigger they are.

Certainly one of the best panoramic compositions I'v seen of this iconic bridge. Used to cross it MANY years ago when I was much younger. I remember you had to throw a penny (old) into the water for luck as the train went across.
