Location

I found this shell of a building interesting. I thought what a great shot. Only if I could angle it so that I can also catch the Brooklyn Bridge.

Workflow

I have taken a number of photos of the Brooklyn Bridge. It’s simply one of my favorite bridges in New York. Actually it’s my favorite bridge in NYC.

But as I walked around Brooklyn Bridge Park I kept looking at this building. It had an interesting look. Nothing inside. No roof. Just walls and these beautiful archways and windows. But as a snapped away — each shot was more boring than the next.

So I thought if I could capture the Brooklyn Bridge and this building — then I might have something. So I fired away. Re-positioned. And I fired away. And Re-positioned. Until I finally got the angle I wanted.

I think the leading lines are beautiful. But I wanted to add a bit of drama to the capture.

I wanted you to notice the building. But to understand that the Brooklyn Bridge was the focus. So at first I used a Matt Kloskowski Lightroom preset. But I scrapped it. I wanted to see if I could create my own look.
