"The carrying power of a bridge is not the average strength of the pillars, but the strength of the weakest pillar. I have always believed that you do not measure the health of a society by GNP but by the condition of its worst off." - Zygmunt Bauman
A minimalist black-and-white long-exposure photo of some rusty steel pillars on a partially-submerged abandoned platform just off the shore of the corniche in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
The original capture is a 167-second exposure captured in the early morning using 13 stops of ND filters (10-stop and 3-stop stacked). The sea was particularly calm that morning, so such a relatively short long-exposure (no pun intended) was enough to smooth out all the movement in the water.
