I’m guessing this is some sort of digital collage?
Hi Milan, no, it’s just looking up the Ottawa River from out back of parliament. One shot, no collage.
Nice! Me likes! Perty.
Glad you like it Stephanie :)
Taken right near the water’s surface with some kind of telephoto lens?
It’s a wild bridgapalooza!
Milan, I used a 70-300mm zoom @300. I was standing next to the gazebo. It’s high up. If you go down there you’ll see that you do get this vantage of several bridges. (Four I think)
I am another non-believer.
You spiced it up with some magic, for sure.
Right, a high vantage makes more sense.
Those bridges live parallel lives… awesome picture.
