Meydan Bridge

I must admit that the achieving this image was more the result of luck than of my skills. Such an amazing sky during the sunset and blue hour is a very rare occurrence in Dubai.

Meydan Bridge leads to the entrance of the Meydan Racecourse and remains empty and unused outside the horse racing events. Therefore, photographers have a unique opportunity to take a picture of a 'ghost' bridge.

This photograph is a digitally blended composition of three exposures taken at the very beginning and end of the blue hour. One shot from the early blue hour was used to capture the colourful spectacle of the diffused sunlight and blended with two images from the late blue hour that showed the intensive blue LED lighting and detail on the street.
