59th Street Bridge - a photo on Flickriver

59th Street Bridge

            28 July 2019. From 58th Street and Sutton Place Park, Manhattan.

Officially the "Queensborough Bridge" and, more recently, the "Ed Koch Queensborough Bridge", but immortalized as the 59th Street Bridge by the eponymous Simon and Garfunkel song (AKA "Feelin' Groovy"). The bridge span is actually closer to 60th Street than 59th.

This is admittedly a rather cliche image (especially in B&W at night; think Woody Allen's frightfully problematic but beautifully shot "Manhattan"), but the bridge will become increasingly difficult to capture cleanly from Manhattan as development on Roosevelt Island continues. So here's my contribution to a crowded field.

Phase One IQ3 Trichromatic 100MP back (@ISO 35), 80mm/2.8 Blue Ring LS (@f/8), 60 sec. Phase One XF body. Full resolution available.

No emulsions were harmed in the making of this image.
