The Bridge in Black and White

This photograph was taken to give the viewer a feeling of placement. The surroundings of the bridge can be seen somewhat. The viewer gains a better knowledge of what kinds of things are in the vicinity of the bridge. It also gives a sense of the size of the bridge. The black and white color allows the viewer to focus more on the actual bridge and the environment around. Color may have been distracting in such a broad view of the bridge. This picture has logos because the picture is closer to one end of the bridge and then your eyes follow across the bridge. The underneath arc also helps lead the eye. the framing of this photograph was done with the lampposts of the bridge. They add a balance that is needed in a photograph. The shrubbery in the lower left also helps balance the weight of the bridge that is closest to the viewer.
