Why? What law? One can find dozens of photos of the bridge on the Internet, so apparently no one else knows it's prohibited.

Just think that a million and million of people have to get rid of all the photo of the Golden Gate.

A bit cartoony, but I like it that way. Good photos are not always ones that mimic what your eye sees.
You have given the bridge a new look and feel. I was reminded of the industrial posters that came out of Germany and the Soviet Union. Not sure why.
Nice work.

I was going to head out to Philadelphia. I didn't know about this law prohibiting photographs of this bridge. Could you elaborate for all Hoggers and myself.

Hello
Attached is a pic of the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philly using 3 exposures.
Created the HDR using Aurora 19 and final Post in ON1.
People I've shown it have liked it, however to me it looks a little fake?
Can't put my finger on it.
Getting the detail on the Girders and bringing them out of the Shadows took some boost of a few areas.

Thoughts on what might be overdone?
Thanks
Jim


Pretty nice.

Because you tilted the camera, you can see the converging lines of vertical buildings.
It is very common affect, people can get used to it.
PhotoShop has a way to straighten up thouse converging lines.
Another way to avoid it would be to use a tripod, level the camera and possibly (as somebody here already mentioned) use the tilt and shift lenses.
I love the quality of this image. Bravo!
