I took this photo 5 years ago the day I bought a tripod camera stand and just a few weeks after I bought my first DSLR camera. A friend joined me for a photo walk of our neighborhood to play with our new cameras when we found ourselves on the Venetian Causeway, a bridgeway which connects mainland Miami through the Venetian Isles composed of 6 artificial islands all the way to Miami Beach. During this shoot, I was still ignorant on how to set the manual mode of my camera so I used instead the night mode feature out of convenience (horror!). I also made sure the bridge was empty of vehicles and pedestrians when I took the shot in order to create the deserted atmosphere of the photo. This shot never really caught my eye until a few days ago while reviewing my photo bank that I realized it has an interesting look to it. I attempted to convert it to black and white, which turned out really nice, but decided last minute to post this colored version instead.
I’m feeling that black and white version would have been stunning too, just like the color one.

Thanks Hammad! I had a hard time choosing which one to post. I do love my colors so this ended up being featured 😉

I like the colored version, quite stunning. You must have stood there in the middle of the night to have no traffic!

Thanks Miriam. This was around 9PM if I remember it right. There is a toll fee to pass this bridge so drivers tend to avoid this and go to the free one just a block away. In a way traffic here is very light. Glad you liked this photo. Thanks again.
