Big Mac from Mackinaw City, MI
Bridge the gaps...
One of my favorite subjects to photograph are bridges. I find them interesting in so many ways, and can be captures in so many ways. You can shoot from on them, below them, down stream from them, in parts, in whole, or as art. It's all up to you, and your imagination. The important thing is getting the camera out and taking the shot.

With bridges there are many ways to look at the structure. You can be below, on , down stream, or from a distance. The direction and angle, and setting, as seen above, can be a dramatic make or break for a shot going from just a nice picture to something very special.

When taking bridge pictures the big thing is obeying the first 5 rules I gave you, but you should also keep your shooting options open to play around. A not so interesting rust coloured rail bridge can look totally different and so much more interesting in black & white. it makes a big difference. Just see the difference from the Elizabeth Park bridges from fall colours & black & white. Night lights can also be a major difference maker to the views you can capture, too.

So, in conclusion, go out this Labor Day weekend...here in the USA...and shoot away. Walk Big mac, and take those shots of all its splendor from a view that's only available once a year. take a walk in the park or down stream, or where ever you want. Just don't be afraid to capture you own view of the beauty that comes in how we cross troubled waters, or move ourselves to a new place in life.
Go & shoot in peace.
