Ryon (Skorz) > Taken just nine minutes after the first photo of this subject, the glow in the sky fades and the lights' reflection in the water grows stronger, and the orange of sodium lights begins to dominate the scene, except for the lone out-of-place mercury/florescent lamp in the middle of the bridge. The smaller aperture and longer exposure used in this shot increases the smoothness of the water's surface.
Ryon (Skorz) > The sun sets over lake Austin, the orange glow of the streetlamps matching the last rays of the sun as they reflect off the water.

Sadly, the christmas-type lights strung across the bridge's arches have been off for the past few months. I plan on recreating this shot when someone gets around to fixing them.

It is not possible to white-balance the sodium lamps, because they emit only a single, orange wavelength of light.

Another frame-in-a-frame experiment.
