Hi Bob,
As soon as I saw the first pictures of the bridge my reaction was, "go big
with the 15 or the 12" on this type of structure because one can create some
very interesting photos .

Besides it's so uniquely designed why not do something completely off the
wall unique with a 12 wild and woolly lens? :-) And chopping any of it off
the tip or top is a no-no! Imagine with the 12 and shooting right from the
bottom as it appears to streak into the sky, ones imagination in lens use
would blow the bridge designer right out of the water.

Then again maybe not. As this is something you can't shoot it down sitting
at the screen as it's the kind of scene that must be shot first to see what
one's imagination could come up with. But dang I bet there'd be some eye
openers for sure. :-)
