I did some scouting on the weekend and came across this old rail bridge and I knew I had to go back at night and get some shots. Its only 30 mins from home and I wanted to take the new car out for its maiden nightscape voyage as well.

The 1st 3 shots are taken with the 24 mm lens on 6D. The first is lit with a 96 led light I've found it the best for providing some even light and it has the added bonus of having a warm orange filter which helps keep the shots warm.
The last is with a 14mm lens.

All have only had some basic processing in lightroom applied.

I think I need to work on the car shots, level road plus more angle in the car, they were only some quick shots and I was near a house (with dogs barking) so I didn't want to be constantly moving the car to get it in a better position. I will need to do more scouting of the area during the day, trying to find a spot on the right of the bridge (there is a creek and farm paddocks there) but hopefully I can find something and it would work as the central bulge rises in the east and hopefully not blocked by the Melbourne light pollution.

Happy for comments/critique

Cheers

Matt
