All working well. The whites are bright but not over exposed while the shadows are solid without any clipping.

Hi Mike,

I was intrigued by the incomplete nature of the bridge and at first assumed it might have been destroyed in WWII - but it seems not, in fact it has quite an interesting history, as you're probably aware.

Three good photos, although I'd have rotated the second one clockwise a tad, but YMMV.

Cheers, Dave

Very nice shots; i too felt the need of half a degree rotation clockwise, for the second one

...and you would love to hear this song....

Love the first shot - an absolute classic beauctifully executed. Mont Ventoux in the background with no cloud or haze is a great achievement. Well done to you both.
