It is a chain that, if you pull it, can open the bridge. The bridge is for cars as well.
You can see the handle just above the two people on the bridge.
Never tried to pull the handle though.
A few thoughts come to mind with this. So anyone can pull the chain and raise the bridge? How often do mischief teenagers pull it as a prank?
One more thought...I'd love to sit at the table and just people watch.
The Zf's Deep Tone Monochrome picture control has made it into NX Studio. This means it can be applied to any NEF. I was curious. Here's two I thought worked the best. I also tried it on people pictures but I did not like it there.
Df + AI Zoom NIKKOR 35-70mm f/3.5-4.8S | F8 ISO 100 -0.33EV

Leighton, thanks for the fall color shots. Enjoying them, especially when capturing the edges of sunshine on an overcast day - bright light as needed for fall color but tamed by the edges.
Interesting concept for the bridge Chris. Must be a finely balanced bridge that would either take a lot of effort to pull when loaded by pedestrians, or otherwise a self-releasing lock that triggers when loaded. Or maybe the rest of the Netherlands does not think like Leighton!

Some more urban fun with the 25-50. I had other lenses with me but that was the only one used.
Fancy places you shoot, Raymond. Both are nice but I'm very impressed by the flare control considering the age of the lens, especially on the second one.

Very nicely captured, Leighton---and, fittingly, with the renowned "Leighton Lens!"
Here is another group of Olympic Park photos, showing "the devil's paint pot" and the attached lake, with its strikingly blue water. Lenses are listed in the captions.

We do it all the time. Take the tram to the city-centre, picking a terrace on one of the many squares in Amsterdam, have a drink, and watch people.
I'll be right over! Oh wait, It's getting close to Winter and I'm sure it's already too cold for me.
I brought the new-to-me 135/2 (poor man's Plena) along when I went to London yesterday.
I was playing around with it on the train platform but I do need to learn how to nail the focus of this 45 year old lens at f/2 'cos it isn't easy to get what you want, but when you do, the results are nice.
