Pictures from the J. A. Wijdenbosch Bridge
Last Sunday I went out photowalking with a friend of mine and at the end of the day, we stopped at the J.A. Wijdenbosch bridge (over the Suriname river in Suriname) to take some pictures of the sunset there. The view of the bridge and the view from the bridge can be really beautiful and dramatic at sunset. Standing at the top of the bridge during sunset is a very nice experience. I’ve been there a few times now, and so far every time the view is different, the colors in the sky are different, and depending on what equipment you use, you can capture a unique view every time as you’ll see from the images below.
Unfortunately when we arrived this time, the sun was already down behind the big clouds on the horizon. But that didn’t stop me from taking whatever pictures I could anyway. The following series of pictures were taken with a Canon EOS 40D camera, with either a EF 24mm f/1.4 L lens or a EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS lens attached.

Pictures of me taken by my friend Jimmy. As you can see, I was shooting without a tripod thanks to the light sensitive EF 24mm f/1.4 L lens.
The following pictures were taken in March 2008 with a Canon EOS 40D camera and the EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L lens.

Next time we’ll try to convince a beautiful model to go with us on the bridge for more interesting pictures since Jimmy and I are a bit tired of posing for eachother. 😀
