Fire Island Inlet Bridge
This steel tied arch bridge carries the Robert Moses Causeway over Fire Island Inlet, and its clean industrial lines set against open water make it a strong subject for architectural and landscape shots alike. You can photograph the bridge from below along the sandy shoreline, where a wide angle lens lets you emphasize the curve of the arch against the sky, or pull back with a longer focal length to compress the bridge against the distant barrier island. The causeway shoulders offer a pedestrian perspective looking straight down the span, with the inlet stretching out on both sides as a natural leading line. Golden hour light in the late afternoon hits the steel structure with warm tones and reflects off the water below. Parking is available at Robert Moses State Park nearby, and the surrounding beach gives you room to find your ideal angle. (Fire Island, New York, United States)
