Hi Rob,

Your not is giving a lot of information. The point of view is showing the details of the large ball. The light has a good effect on the colours. Have a nice day.

Witaj Rob!
As a mechanical engineer, I like construction trivia.
Ball joints are very important elements of bridge construction.
Excellent fragment of construction.
Good presentation.
I like reflections ;)
Well done.
Nice weekend.
Krzysztof

Hello Rob, all three shots are excellent. The main post and picture 3 offer blurred but still recognisable reflections of what is behind you, and ‘8 masts’ makes the structure appear to be more a piece of modern art. And of course we see you in your red jacket.
The notes are very informative and easy to understand.
The engineers who designed the bridge obviously had a mind to create something memorable.
Thanks for sharing, keep safe.
Kind regards, Jean.

Dag Rob,

Ik las in uw schrijven op mijn foto over plattelandsfoto's.
Wij zijn twee totaal verschillend amateur fotografen.
Ik zie niet wat jij ziet, op details waar ik niet zou op letten, tenzij het ons beroep aangaat.
Dit detail beeld vind ik mooi maar ik zou er voorbij lopen.
Rob met de fiets in de natuur ziet men iedere dag iets anders.
Niets dat meer evalueert of het is de natuur, maar oog voor sommige dingen worden ook niet ervaren door sommige mensen.
Goed foto werk, bedankt.

Groeten uit het spergebied Maldegem, (oorlog term)
John.

Hello Rob,

Another update on the Media City Footbridge and another very interesting note to accompany it.

I love all things related to engineering and so this is right up my street. But I must say that I have only ever come across the term "Degrees of Freedom" in mathematics, specifically statistics, and not in mechanical terms. So, would I be right in thinking that one instance of a degree of freedom might be, say, the "end float" in the crankshaft of my car? The crankshaft is constrained to rotate by the forces of the pistons and connecting rods but also has freedom to move axially by a small amount (e.g. 0.25mm) - is that a "degree of freedom" in mechanical nomenclature?

Anyway, three superb photographs which not only show these ball joints (which remind me, of course, of hip joint prostheses) in considerable detail but your artistic bent has once again attracted you to the possibilities of seeking out interesting reflections in these highly polished spheres - and, of course, I shan't tell the moderators the possible identity of the Man in Red.

Excellent!

Take care and stay safe.

Kind Regards,

John.

P.S. Just one thought. In Picture 2 of the masts, I see that the ball joint at far right has what might appear to be a linking strap (almost like a lightning conductor) but it also has what looks like an antenna. Could this be some sort of sensing device which can monitor the health of the joints or, indeed, the angles through which they are moving?

Hi Rob,
original shots and Ws about this construction, well made your close-up, perfect sharpness and photogenic reflections, tfs.

Ciao Rob, lovely and original composition with beautiful reflections, excellent clarity, fine details and splendid light, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

Hello Rob,

It's difficult to believe just how many photographs have been taken of this bridge and it supports, and all significantly different. This really allows a photographer to choose and express his/her preferences.

Two shots really focus in on the orb shape, revealing its texture and reflective capabilities. Love the shallow dof.
The other photograph is quite different, showing the fan shape, when concentrating on the eight mast bases.

Keep safe,
Bev :-)
