Marukobashi Bridge in the Cloudy Night

Canon EOS 6D, Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 IIDG HSM (24mm, f/13, 457.2 sec, ISO-100)

I came to Marukobashi Bridge to shoot nightscape for the second time. The last time was on March 28, almost half a year ago when Japan was filled with sakura.

Marukobashi Bridge in the Dark

The atmosphere is quite different compared with the last time.

It was sunny on March 28, when the sky was deep in blue. The sky devoted itself to being a background, and the bridge was the leading actor.

On the other hand, it is cloudy today, when the gray sky gives brightness to the surroundings. Once you try long exposure with your camera, the bridge, the sky, and the land, all of them appear with the appropriate brightness. It's like a natural HDR. If you seriously want to record a landscape in front of you, "cloudy night" can be one of your choices.
