Another photo taken using the kit lens for a wide angle showing the bridge and moon over it. You can see the light being projected from the top of the support piers. That is a very neat effect and it can be seen in several of the photos that i took in this set. This was taken from the Illinois side of the bridge. In the upper left you can see another jet flying in a line.

We are standing in Downtown Alton close to the water front. To the lest of my location is the Mississippi River and the Clark Bridge. I was set up at an intersection and i was using my 70-300mm for this photo. It was really neat as i was able to capture several directions of traffic trails at once. I love how the light bends when a car ot truck turns in a different directions. It is just amazing to me!!

This was a good photo of the bridge from the East side in the city of Alton. I was using the kit lens so i could get a wide angle shot of the center portion of the bridge. In the upper right corner you can see a jet flying. I love the crisp, bright feel that this photo has.

We were standing the a levee near the beginning of the bridge on the East side of the Clark Bridge. I was using the kit lens as i wanted to get a wide photo of the structure looking from East to West. It is a very interesting bridge in its construction and style. You can see the Moon over the top of the bridge with the light being projected from the top as well.

I love the light that is being projected from the top of the bridge. There was so much light with several cars traveling West on the bridge that it got washed out but it creates an interesting effect no the less.
