The Brooklyn Bridge

Photo of the Day

While in New York a few years ago it seemed as if I found myself at this spot everyday. The one person in our group who had been to New York previously knew that we could park here. I found that I thought that this was my special place in the city. While the others would go somewhere else I would make pictures here. Without a tripod at night though I was left with nothing when I got home from those adventures. A great night shot from here is definitely on my bucket list. If this is indeed my special spot it has become famous. In the nearly six years since I stood on this point I have seen it appear in many movies and TV shows. I think that this may not be my spot after all.

Technical Data

This photo was just a jpeg shot with my old Rebel XT. I didn’t have the power to do some of the things that I would have liked to do to this photo. In the end though I think that it looks just fine as is. I used the strong HDR Look preset on it because of the fact that it was just a jpeg. You need to crank the sliders up a lot more with those to bring out the data that you want.
