Walking across this bridge in Salzburg, Austria is an incredible experience.

First, you can't help but notice how beautifully it is designed. The bridge slopes upward, and as you take a few steps forward, you're able to make out the sign ahead: Mozartsteg. For Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, and this is one of the many landmarks in the city named after him. The Mozartsteg connects Imbergstraße on the right side Salzach River with Mozart Square on the other side (I have at least one picture from Mozart Square I will post in the future). Along the way, I stopped a few times and glanced to my left and right, observing the city in front of me. The Salzach River flows relatively fast, and I used longer shutter speeds for the three captures to show the movement of the water (as can also be seen in yesterday's post, which gives you an overview of the city and the Mozartsteg's location).

As for the capture and post-processing: this is a high dynamic range image, captured from three separate exposures. I tonemapped the final result in Photomatix Pro, after which I made some adjustments in Adobe Lightroom, followed by an export to Photoshop (where I used a channel mixer to manipulate some of the colours on the wooden planks of the bridge), and then back to Adobe Lightroom for final post-processing.

What do you think of the final result? If you aren't a fan of HDR photography, feel free to chime in with your criticism.

In other news: I have been working over the last few days in updating my archives. In particular, I have now categorized a lot of my images based on country visited. It's still a work in progress (I have to find the respective photoblog entry one by one, and then tag accordingly, which is a time-consuming process; I spent about three hours on the work today), but it should give you a different way to browse my photos. For convenience, below are the links to the updated galleries. So take a look around and explore! There's definitely quite a bit to discover in the galleries below:
