Week 9

On Thursday, as I was waiting from my ride to pick me up at the Co-Op, I decided to kill some time by walking around downtown Brattleboro. After walking up to the library and back, my ride still did not arrive so I chose to take a walk across the bridge that leads into Hinsdale. While I was on the bridge (a death wish due to it wobbling left and right slowly from the growing decay), I saw the sun setting behind some of the buildings in Brattleboro. The Connecticut River, which was also in my eyesight, was relecting some of the light off the surface of the water. In order to take such a picture, I would have had to use fast shutter speeds to capture the moment very quickly. If I were to use slower shutter speeds, the shot would have been over exposed with too much light. As usual, I could have taken this picture with digital and film cameras. I might have had to use a tripod so the camera would not shake, but due to the wobbling bridge it probably would not have done much help.
