Across the water: bridges link the world together
Bridges link banks, towns and people. They are also strong photographic subjects, in architecture and in the way they meet the water.
Bridges and water
Structure and line
The curves, cables and arches of a bridge give a picture its rhythm. I look for the angle where the design shows best.
Light on the water
Reflections, dusk and night lighting add a second bridge in the water below. That is often where the best picture is.
