Due to all the nice bridge images Ive been catching lately, I thought it might be fun to see ppl posting up their fav (or two) bridge photo's in one thread......what do yall think?


Here's my current favs:

1) Night shot of the GWB.

Here are a couple of mine

The SF Golden Gate

Great Pic. I lived in PH when I was about 11-15. I've ridden my bike across the Blue Water Bridge (with firecrackers stuffed in the handlebars. that was a risky experience I wouldn't want to repeat today with dogs sniffing around and all.) Lot of good memories of the bridge, St Clair River, Canadian beaches on Huron, etc.

All I have right now is the Golden Gate, but at least I managed to get two non-postcard-like shots that I treasure:

1) "Standing Tall"

OO Yes that would be nice on the wall

Thank you! I appreciate the comment.

A little less known bridge



The Dumbarton Bridge across San Francisco Bay

Frank (XFBO) – I like that GWB shot

Here is one a took awhile ago, but I like its abstraction.

Verrazano-Narrows Bridge

Great thread, inspiring images (as they always are on FM)

Newport, Rhode Island:

I really like that third Newport pic danny d!

Here's one of my humble efforts A combination of a winter exposure and a warm summer evening pic...

Thanks George,

Great concept on your photograph, quite impressive symetry of the two exposures.

Oh man Im glad this thread drew some attention, Ive been working my hyde off the past few nights and havent had the chance to see if there were new posts!

Anyhow, Im amazed at some of the work displayed in here, I swear some of the BEST photographers on the net frequent this site!

Some of my favs are the B&W GGB up top, very nicely done.....a surreal look.
I also liked the 3rd Newport image just above.

But they were all great and something to be proud of folks!


Here's another one that I gave a somewhat illustration look of the Manhattan Bridge.

Some very nice photos!

Really like that composite CameraGeorge, great idea and execution.

My few bridge shots:

... I just posted a bridge pic about 30 seconds ago, then noticed this thread...

EDIT: Forgot to mention... this is the Manhattan Bridge, shot from Brooklyn yesterday.

Went down to Brooklyn to shoot the Olefur Elliason waterfalls under the bridges with some of my Flickr buddies 2 nights ago. The waterfalls were a bust - we couldn't find a decent vantage point until we got back to Manhattan and when we finally made it back to South Street Seaport, they turned off the spotlights illuminating the waterfalls literally 90 seconds later. Bah.

Anyway, I took this instead. It was 3 bracketed shots combined using the Enfuse project's code. If anyone isn't familiar with it, it's very cool for stacking bracketed shots, but has none of that totally overdone, totally cheesy HDR look (which I nearly always despise).

40D, EF 50.14
ISO 100, F14, [6s, 13s, 25s]

Comments, criticisms, critiques, and personal insults are heartily encouraged!

Beautiful. Love the long exposure on the water and the lights. Star filter, I assume? No EXIF visible... can you give some details on the setup and exposure?

Cool thread. Since I've been beaten to it with The Golden Gate, Tower Bridge and Sydney Harbour (The shot in the fog is most awesome!) here's a few not quite as well known, footbridges count too right?! cheers Vin.

Thanks for the comments Rodolfo. No star filter used at all, just small apertures

I've added all the info to my post.

Cheers for the nice comments danny d and Ariithka!

The Fairy Bridge
Don't think many have seen this before. We found this during a recent trip to Scotland. It is on a "walk in the forest" not too far from Oban. The length of the bridge is only about 10 feet and it is close to an abandoned cottage overgrown with vines and mountain laurel.

It doesn't have the majesty of the others posted . . . but if it could only speak . . .
