The last shots I took on my trip downtown were of the pedestrian bridge. I had my tripod, and these were 1 of 2 or 3 shots I was really after on this outing. I setup the tripod, lined up the shot, and popped open the shutter for 20 seconds. I closed the aperture down to f/16 in this shot, and it turned out pretty well! The glossing / smoothing of the river looks really neat to me, against the sharpness of the wires on the bridge. I had read that closing the aperture down would produce some of the starbursts around the light, which I was really after.
