Description
Taken at London, United Kingdom on the Millenium Bridge at night.

A rather interesting contrast in this shot if you review the history of each structure is that the bridge was closed some days after its opening because you could feel it wobbling (it is named also "Wobbly bridge") and the Cathedral withstood the Blitz (76 nights of German bombing).

I took several photos of this composition because the bridge keeps moving (minimally) and the light conditions where very low AND I didn't have a tripod!!. Also the crossing people sometimes "disrupted" the comp. What I did is to:

- Hold my breath to minimize camera movement during the shot
- Use high ISO (1600) and "long" exposure (1/10) considering no tripod.
- Use big aperture (f 4.5)
- Since I had low f, I obviously had to focus on the main subject and recompose to bring in the second one (the bridge)

Hope you like it.
