Brooklyn Bridge Park
Brooklyn Bridge Park stretches along the East River waterfront in Brooklyn, offering some of the most iconic views of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline together in a single frame. The park gives you multiple vantage points to work with, from the grassy piers closer to the water's edge to the elevated promenade where you can compress the bridge against the skyline using a longer lens. A wide angle works well when you want to include the cobblestone paths or benches as foreground interest. Sunrise is the classic choice here, with soft golden light hitting the bridge towers and the city still relatively quiet; blue hour before dawn is particularly striking when the bridge lights reflect off the river. The park is easily accessible by subway or a short walk over the bridge itself. Bring a tripod for the low light hours. (Brooklyn, New York, United States)
