Weekly Photo – Sundown on the Brooklyn Bridge

While visiting New York City, I decide to head over to Brooklyn and catch the sunset. Brooklyn is one of those magical places that seems to encompass everything for city scape photography! This is the first photo I snapped after a short subway trip from Manhattan. Once on the bridge, I cautiously set up my tripod with the looming thought of accidentally “taking out” a bicycler or pedestrian! Ever seen a Tour de France bicycle pile up? Well, setting up your tripod “willy nilly” on a crowded bridge is a recipe for disaster! (Cue: Benny Hill Theme). Despite the bicyclists whizzing past, I did managed to capture the image below with no pile up! While post processing this image, I drew inspiration from the fella on the right… he kinda looks like a gunslinger heading off into the sunset! Hence the name of this photo “Sundown on the Brooklyn Bridge.”
