Puente de Luz, “bridge of light”, links the Concord CityPlace neighbourhood to Front Street over the rail lines in Toronto, for pedestrians and bicyclist. It was designed by Chilean artist Francisco Gazitua and cost $8 Million to construct and install.
The bridge is busy, occupied by pedestrians and cyclists. I shot this photo using a neutral density (ND) filter. Basically, a ND filter reduces the amount of light making its way into the camera. With less light entering the camera, you will need to slow the shutter for a given aperture setting. The slower shutter speed will allow anything moving in your frame to become blurred, or if left long enough, be rendered invisible, as is in the photo. So even though the bridge was busy with people, using a ND filter makes the bridge look vacant.
