day 8

...Time for some more artificial light, and even one of our projects. This was happening in my early days as a lighting designer, but aside from taking photos and some focusing assistance, I wasn't particularly involved with this design, myself.

It's the Twin Sails Bridge, in Poole. When opening at night, red light floods along the the pedestrian walkways, and highlights the leading edge of each of the opening 'sails'.

A lifting bridge, photographed at night from the pedestrian walkway which crosses it. Set back a little from the opening section, the pathway is flooded with red flight from the handrails, while the road remains washed with white light. The opening portions of the bridge are visible ahead of us, rising into the sky and split diagonally so the two opening sections appear almost like the sails of passing ships. There are even two tall 'masts' at the leading edge of the opening sails.
