And greymule - I think #1 and #4 are the best as they show more expanse of the bridges. I love stone ones because of the work and architecture that went into building them. And in all honesty - #2 doesn't do a thing for me. But I'm just an amateur who doesn't see what others see sometimes.
Number 2 was just playing with perspective and taking a lower angle. Agreed-not great.

Glad they saved bridge, hate lights,good perspectives and HDR. Passed on shooting many times because of lights. Good bridge at ONalaska.

I like # 2 also but it seems that #1 is lacking but can't put my finger on it. I thought maybe try to stand nearer the bridge and focus on the concrete support away from you . also thought maybe if you were up higher but bet that is out. Like Rocco said may go back with different lighting like early morning or late afternoon with new thoughts might capture what you are looking to get. As they say just try try try good luck

I like them,but suggest you might try to position yourself so as to place the tree that projects above the railroad bridge to be partially concealed by the support on the left. May not be possible. Would require a lower angle. Just a thought.
Different..with the tree in the shot

Hello Cadugand
I like all your HDR pic's. If you are going too do them again pick a time before sunset say 2 hours with long shadows and lots of clouds use a wide angle lens. good luck shooting them..

I like it without the tree, because the tree takes away the main focal point,,,, the bridge......

Oh, that's terrific!

As far as the "grunge look", I think you nailed it on the second photo. The first one isn't bad either, but the composition in #2 is very good. I'd remove the modern light poles on the right side of #2, then hang it on the wall.
The lights in the middle of the bridge are interesting, and the deck looks unusual as well; there might be a few photos about those elements.

I think that Rocco is right. May I also suggest that you might consider a few components of the bridge say were there are many lines that intersect.

I try to go to a scene at different days and time of the day to get different perspectives. When I get a project like this, I will have hiked a lot as I would be all over the different sides of that bridge. One thing that I would be doing is taking parts of the bridge and making closeups of the different elements that make the bridge. One bridge that is hard to photograph but has been photographed to the hilt is the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fransisco. I wish that I had taken the time to do just that when I lived in the Bay Area. Your bridge project, I probably would have spent several weeks taking different angles. Depending on the time of day and your own mood, no one photo will ever be alike.

KatKase,
You are correct that the GGB has been shot a few million times But You only have a few that are yours.
