Pic(k) of the week 51: Cloudy skies over the Meydan bridge
Most of you probably figured out that I have a weak spot for bridges in my Architectural work. Although I normally try to balance my Pic(k) of the week with different topics, after last weeks "Dubai Canal bridge"posts, I'll be a repeat offender this week!
One of the places, I try to visit at least once every winter is the Meydan Bridge in Dubai; picking a day with rare (for Dubai) clouds, was a must for this years visit!
This great bridge is a little of the beaten track for most people visiting Dubai, but I've noticed that it has attracted more and more attention over the last few years. The night I was there, a handful of Chinese photographers visiting from Shanghai, were also there.
The image below was made during the blue hour, about 20 min after sunset. And "blue" it was!
Image details:
Fujifilm X-T2 with the XF 10-24 f4 lens
ISO 200, f13, 16mm, 3 shot bracket between 1/2sec and 10sec

Although the great blue LED system designed by Philips Lighting is so typical for this great piece of architecture, I also converted one of the images into Black and White. Click here for more!
