[Photo Challenge]

This thread is for any comments that you would like to make on the entries in the November Photo Challenge submissions.

Additionally, if you have any other shots that you have taken on the subject that didn't quite "make the cut", but you still want to share with the IIS community, then, please, post them here too.

This month's theme is ... "Cables"

Here are a few shots from my favourite bridge in Brisbane.

According to Wikapedia "Kurilpa Bridge is the world’s largest hybrid tensegrity bridge.[5] Only the horizontal spars conform to tensegrity principles. The Kurilpa Bridge is a multiple-mast, cable-stay structure based on principles of tensegrity producing a synergy between balanced tension and compression components to create a light structure which is incredibly strong.[5]

The bridge is 470 metres (1,540 ft) long with a main span of 128 metres (420 ft) and features two large viewing and relaxation platforms, two rest areas, and a continuous all-weather canopy for the entire length of the bridge.[6][7]A canopy is supported by a secondary tensegrity structure.[5] It is estimated that 560 tonnes (620 short tons) of structural steel including 6.8 kilometres (4.2 mi) of helical strand cable are incorporated into the bridge.[8]"

Some very nice pictures here so far.
These ones are from a while back when I went scoping for a good location for a moon rise.
Cheers,

Powerlines, Planes and Possums......

And you proabably thought there's no way I'd get a plane in a cable shot didn't you .
Some months ago I was doing a long exposure facing south when I heard a noise above my head, looked up to be greeted by a possum and within seconds a plane's arrival into Brisbane added more "cables" to those powerlines . There's a little dirt smudge on the frame which appeared after the Possum encounter .

This has turned out to be a difficult challenge for me, I'm working on some creative cables, it's taken a bit of time and work, no idea how it'll turn out but it's been fun. If I fail, I'll probably have to end up throwing the Possum pic in .

Tim, that's a very creative cable shot you entered , you didn't miss any detail did you .

Strong Cables,,,
This was from helping with some photog & timelapses for a demolishing company, the crane is one of the biggest mobile cranes on wheels, with a lifting capacity of 50 tonne, the excavator is no match for it. two excavators with high powered Jack-hammers & a Bob-cat were lifted on top of 16 story building to tear it down one level at a time. the bobcats main job was to push the 'rubble' to the gutted elevator shaft and let it fall to the ground floor !
Hope worth a Squizz ,,,

I thought long and hard about this one before I put in my other entry. It is part of the fencing near the sculpture the I chose as my entry.
