Description

Built in the early 1920s to facilitate the traffic to the gold fields in the interior of Alaska. The road was moved in the 1950s and it is now only a foot bridge for a scenic trail. It was engineered and built in one month and still stands strong. The photo was difficult because I was in the mountain's shadow and shooting into the valley where the sun was shining.

Nice bridge in the notch, Gary! A challenging exposure indeed! Nice work! #103431

Thanks, Dolores :-) I just spot meter on the brightest spot in the background and then push it as hard as I dare to bring out as much of the foreground as possible. Just to be sure I usually shoot a few bracketed shots in this type of situation. #103985
