I wanted to get an interesting shot of this bridge before it was
dismantled and sold as scrap as a new one is being built right beside
it. I wanted to convey that it still had some fight left in it and by taking
a 30 second exposure it seems to become a little animated (to me anyways).
I titled it “Jaws” and will be sad to see it go.

Sorry that this image appears quite dark. In the original it has a lot
more range between the lights and darks. Will have to crank up the
brightness and change a couple of other settings before I post another
b&w night shot I guess.

With is very cool, Dale. At the first glimpse I didn’t figure out what created the motion on the bridge, but I guess now I see that it is bridge opening or closing. I would assume you added the moon to the photo?

The bridge was closing and yes -thanks to your tutorial I figured out how
to add the moon to the image using Ps.
It was a 30 second exposure taken after a boat had passed under the bridge.

I’ve had a similar issue with B&W pics that they appear a lot darker when I post here them then they look on the screen in photoshop. So did you photoshop the moon?

Really like the perceived movement…..not sure about the moon.
You might want to experiment with some of Lightroom’s presets.
Here are a few. The first is as you’ve posted. I’ve named the others by their preset name.

I like the second and third adjustments the best… what did you think Mandrake?

Mandrake – I’m agreeing with mscharff – 2nd and 3rd are really good. Thanks for the
work you did to make the image much better.

The first is the original. My favorite is Creamtone (the third).
I think the the second (black and white look 5) is a little too bright.
The last is interesting, but a bit artificial with the blue tone.
Dale… There is no real “work” involved with this.
Just a single click on the built in presets available in Lightroom.
It is well worth the effort to see what Lr presets can do,
and eventually go about creating your own.
