Rainbow Bridge to Tempe

Editing notesThis is a composite image that I did in ON1. There is a long exposure used to capture the passing train at the top. This was blended into a shorter exposure to capture the colors of the bridge. The bridge lights change about every two to three seconds, so a long exposure to capture the train lights results in the bridge lights becomming white. Then it’s a careful blend to get the reflection into the glass water, which was a result of the long exposure for the train lights. Most of this was captured at f/5, 2 seconds, and 100 ISO. I slightly adjusted Tone and Color to get the image to the brightness I liked. I did add a LUT, Punch in the Color Pop category. I finally added Dynamic Contrast to the overall image, excluding the water.
