All good things come to an end but so do photo series about the Brooklyn Bridge. This is the last image in this series (which means I need to delve into the archives and decide on a few pictures to post next since I have nothing else queued up just now!).

Looking back on the series, this is definitely one of my favourites due to the great light angle on the stonework and the overall clarity and sharpness of the shot. It's also one that absolutely had to be in black and white (for me, at least) since the picture is all about geometry and texture.

I must get back to NYC some time soon since it's a great place to shoot and since I would almost certainly have more company next time thanks to all the online friends I've made in and around the city in the 18 months or so since returning from the last solo photographic trip up there.

  Love the detail and light glinting from the suspension wires. Your choice of underexposing this shot was an ideal choice. Darkened sky creates a perfect contrast backdrop for the bridge.

  Great shot. Did you use any filter to get that deep dark sky?

  Congrats.

  I’m pretty sure there was no filter here but it is possible that I had a polariser on the lens since I did use it for some of the shots. The dark sky was mainly due to underexposure and a monochrome conversion which favoured the red channel.
