After our success at the first bridge, we set our sights high and tackled Cobblestone Bridge next. Partly because it is a favorite of so many, and partly because we wanted to see if we could be successful shooting a large bridge. We scouted it out with the help of Tom and his sister who was visiting. She gave us some hints on lighting, since she has worked in theater in the past.

The before shot.

The night of the shoot, we were happy to see 15 light painters. Brenda’s sister and nephews were visiting, that’s three extra people we could count on. Brenda was still new at setting up the light painters, but with the help of Tom, we got everyone set.  We had to reposition a few people, and rearrange lights some, but we ended up getting a great shot.

I set my camera in the middle of the stream to get the shot. There is no way we could have done this shot in the spring – I would have ended up under water!

The light painters.

We all enjoyed whoopee pies made by Brenda and her sister; a family recipe.
