I'm just wondering if it would be possible to light a bridge / viaduct using speedlights? Not the whole thing, mainly under the arches. I just want to know if there would be enough power for something that large?

I have 3 strobes (Nikon Sb range) but just wondered if it's a crazy idea or not?

Thanks
 
I guess it is possible, if you up the ISO and lower the shutter speed to capture every bit of light it spills out...but it's not something I've ever tried :lol:
 
Try putting your camera on a tripod, setting a long exposure and walk around with your flash, popping it off at various points to light the bridge. This is a technique often covered in the photography magazines.
 
Thanks, I will give it a go this weekend I can certainly pop the flashes more than once in the exposure if required. I may take a torch to do a little painting to fill in the higher areas perhaps. Thanks
