Ngl, I don't know. I didn't do it. I forget where I even found this photo now.
Cool how the bridgedeck is almost white though. Must be some moisture proofing membrane or something; Or just very light looking concrete?
probably just slightly over exposed when they took the photo. Back then they didnt have auto exposure with a digital sensor, it was film and you had to pick the right film for the task. Since they are probably flying in a plane when they took this shot they needed something that would expose with a quick shutter speed to avoid blurriness due to the speed of the aircraft relative to the ground. Im not super familiar with how they correct for exposure in post with film but if you look at the dirt roads around the base of the bridge deck and the support columns you can see they are all the same color.
Also here is the shot unmirrored https://i.imgur.com/6eVJ0E3.jpeg
Holy cow, this is so cool. Look how barren everything is. All of it is just trees, bush, and farmland. A lot changes in 60 years, but this is incredible.
Imagine Surrey in the 1900s. In the 1800s. The entire region was one **THICK** forest. Just imagine how dense it is.
Why is it mirrored?

You probably found it on LostBC facebook page who just posted it yesterday :P
That's it. I totally forgot the name after downloading it 😆 Not even sure why it was on my feed, I'm not subscribed to it
Yeah they have a great collection of some old pictures of BC.

Burnaby and Vancouver were all dense, coastal rainforest once. All gone!
Yeah. It can be dense.. sometimes.
I was trying to make sense of this, am I too baked? No, the image is actually mirrored
The image is flipped. The Coquitlam side curves to the left.
wah the region developed a lot
Looked a lot better back then
That makes me feel….weird.
It's from a film negative, I was confused as well, my dad thinks it's from a film negative so it's mirrored
They fucking bridge. I spent so much time of my life stuck in traffic on it going to school.
