Manhattan Bridge, NYC, 2023.
-
Captured with a Rodenstock 50mm/4.0 HR Digaron lens (@ f/5.0) and the Phase One IQ4-150 back, shifted vertically by 12mm.
This is a straightforward, somewhat abstract, composition, emphasizing scale and lines. It converges out of sight below the foreground pier, suggesting an infinite roadway.
I shot this several times, day and night, and the nighttime image, in which the steelwork under the bridge is closer in brightness to the sky, was much more interesting. The cloudy night helps, too.

I really like this one. -

@mattblaze that is a stunning shot not quite as nice as yours but here I am 'Feeling Groovy" under the 59th Street Bridge (November 2024)

@mattblaze I don't really have any artistic capability to give good judgement on the photography, but If I could frame it and put this on the wall, then my day would be more happy when I see this.

@mattblaze I think this every time I see this so I’ll finally ask: Do you also have a similar photo of the Brooklyn Bridge?

@jzilske I don't. The Brooklyn bridge pylons are solid and don't allow a vantage point like this.

@mattblaze I see (and obviously didn’t know).

@mattblaze not nearly as nice as yours, but the same idea: Bay Bridge, SF, 2016

@mattblaze Thank you for the background on how you got the shot! love this kind of stuff.
I do not shoot a lot of landscape stuff and am always looking to do the best I can when I do
