Bixby Bridge

Bixby Bridge

From last evening at Bixby Creek Bridge, aka Bixby Bridge, near Big Sur, CA. No, not the mattress store.
I joined Clint on a photo adventure that included more gas station visits(3) than photo stops(2), but in the end, a good time was had by...both.
Here is a pano after sunset from the steep ledge on the north side of the bridge. This panorama is a combination of 62 separate images combining 2 levels of exposure, 2 focus planes, and enough left to right overlap to accommodate the wide angle distortion of the 35mm(~28mm FF equivalent. Each of the 62 individual frames was painstakingly and meticulously stitched and blended using feathered brushes and pen tools...not really, I just loaded them into Photoshop and walked away, lol. The full sized image is 20,986 x 8252 px, so ready for a large print.
Thanks to the nice 10-12 CHP officers at the roadblock who let us through to go take a picture, on the condition we promised not to go any further south of the bridge. The temptation was just too great and we did anyway, but we still appreciate you looking out for our safety.
Lens is the D FA 35mm f/3.5 on the 645Z.
