This pedestrian bridge connects Nebraska and Iowa over the Missouri River; the only bridge to connect 2 US States.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I believe it also featured in a movie called "The Blue Max". I think that was the name of it and would have been made in the 60's or 70's.

Some of these shots are fantasitic.

I tried to shoot the Sam Beckett bridge in Dublin recently but all I got was blur.

I was using a tripod, but perhaps my settings were off.

It was night time and all I got was blurry, out of focus shots.

Any tips/hints to shooting these kind of shots, especially in low light conditions - what apperture/shutter speed would be the best etc?

thanks, I'm glad you like it,
It was taken a couple of years ago and much like everyone else, I had done the side view thing to death and instead wanted to photograph the bridge as we always see it, but rarely photograph it.

If your shots were blurred, then it is down to movement/camera shake, maybe your tripod is not sturdy enough, even the slightest breeze can wobble a tripod, the mirror lifting can cause shake, use mirror lock up, pushing the shutter can cause shake, use a remote release or timer. Hope this helps some?

This was close at the time as I was returning from World Superbikes in Donington, I had time to kill before catching the ferry in Holyhead, so I stopped to take a few shots of this bridge.

Wow, isn't it very similar to the Clifton Suspension Bridge, I wonder is it another Brunell?
