My First Photo Job

To illustrate 1 Timothy 3:15b (“[The] church of the living God, [which is] the pillar and ground of the truth”) for our church newsletter, I was told to take a picture of a bridge pillar. Though I don’t get anything for it, it was well worth the experience. The Augustus Bridge here in Dresden made the perfect motive. After making a couple of dissatisfying attempts in daylight, I remembered the beautiful evening lighting on Brühlsche Terrasse. With tripod and remote release, I was able to take a good picture with four seconds of exposure which rendered the evening sky nice and blue. The ubiquitous tram cables were removed later in Photoshop. (Clicking on the picture opens a larger version in new window)
