John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, 2003.

Excellent detail and exposure time

It's such a beautiful shot it's a real shame the verticals aren't.

Keith,

I was very frustrated when I saw this. Almost like a keystone problem. I really don't know if I can fix it. If any one has any ideas, I am all ears.

Thanks for your comment.

The keystoning is partly the result of the angle of the wide angle lens to the riverbank in the (left) distance. Using good image-edit software can correct this via perspective-cropping on that side of the image frame. The cropping would also help balance the image since it is already cropped tightly on the bridge at the right.

 

You do know that engineer John Augustus Roebling designed this bridge as prelude to its more famous counterpart on the East River in New York City, the one that connects Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Gary,

 

 

Thanks for the comment. I took a quick look through your portfolio and was very impressed. I plan on looking a little bit closer when I have more time.

 

BTW, very interesting fact about the bridge, thanks!

Good shot! The uncorrected verticals do not bother me. The far pier is the only bit that looks wrong to me and it is quite a small feature in the photo. The wide angle perspective gives energy to the photo which a corrected version would tend to lack.

Thanks Colin.

 

The more I look at it, I, too feel no need to do any correction. Thanks. AJ

I have a few different versions of this shot in my
