This is the Big Dam Bridge again. One of the most impressive and photogenic things about this bridge is that they light it up at night. It changes colors every month or so. In the past it was usually static colors on each column. Lately Little Rock and North Little Rock have been treated to flashing lights. For Independence Day the bridge flashed red, white, and blue. The latest and greatest is a purple and green combo that looks like Mardi Gras.
When the bridge stayed one color it was pretty easy to set up a camera on extended shutter speed and get some cool shots. With the lights moving it's a bit harder (and fun). The game plan was to keep the shutter open as long as possible but still miss the series of flashes. Otherwise red, white, and blue makes one muddy purple mess.
