Photographic notes
The road bridge ‘bounces’ with the passing of an endless stream of HGV’s, the best positions for mounting the tripod or even for standing when using the camera handheld is where the supporting structures for the approach to the suspended carriageway or alongside the large supporting towers. Best results are achieved in the afternoon / evening when the sun has swung round towards the west.

Extra notes for videographers:
You are under the road deck of the Forth Road bridge, it can get very noisy from both the traffic and wind.
