The Clyde Arc at night (Glasgow)
Finally got to photograph this bridge tonight
I think I had gone up to Glasgow about 3 times now especially to photograph this bridge, and each time I had gone there, the lights were off
I took several shots of the bridge from various angles, and both sides of the river Clyde as well.
This was the first time I used the Live view function on the 40d and I must say it is excellent manual focusing is so much easier and you can zoom in 10x while in live view to get precise focus.

Great pics.
I can sympathise with the frustraion.
I get frustrtaed when I go from Perth to the Highlands (for photographs) to find them under cloud.
Trust me- That's small fry compared to (before my move North) the dissapointment of using all your annual leave driving from Warrington to the Highlands every weekend to go climbing and finding the conditions be all stuffed.

I didn't notice earlier but I like the way the 3rd one looks like a number 10.
