Composition: Lemons Into Lemonade
Burnside over KOIN - click to view larger on Flickr
Last night I went out for a couple hours and walked along the Willamette River in Portland to take some night photos. Once I got there I noticed one arm of the Burnside Bridge was lifted and I remembered they were performing maintenance this weekend.
At first I was disappointed. A good bridge photo should be symmetrical, right? Either a lowered bridge, or with both arms raised? I walked back and forth a bit along the river looking for some sort of composition that would make me happy.
Eventually I settled on this… looking at the raised bridge arm, with the KOIN tower visible directly underneath the raised leaf. When you’re presented with a situation that wasn’t as you’d hoped, spend a few minutes looking at things and you will likely find something worthy of a shot.
