Bridge to the Unknown - a photo on Flickriver

Bridge to the Unknown

            This image was inspired by a brand new app, Spots, that shows some cool spots in the city to take some amazing pictures.

The Bay Bridge. Usually, there are tons and tons of images of the Bay Bridge all over social media and SF. I tried to get a new perspective on things by actually incorporating more of the water and detail in the structure. I cropped the image to make the focal point the middle tower of the bridge, but also kept some of the focus on the water below.

Lightroom filters have come in such a great time in my photography journey. I have been learning about how to reduce the exposure and make the image less hazy through the dehaze tool. 

I decided to go black and white with this image because I felt that it added a sort of vintage feel to the overall picture. I mean, when I look at this picture, I think back to when it was first unveiled and the sheer massiveness of the architecture. Furthermore, I see this picture hanging from a restaurant one day -- creating a fine dinning experience for a lovely couple that can look at this and remember where they first met in SF.
