About Yellowstone River Bridge
This historic two-span steel Warren through truss bridge stretches across the Yellowstone River in a remote stretch of eastern Montana, offering a compelling mix of industrial structure and wide open prairie landscape. The riveted steel trusses frame the river beautifully, so try shooting from the riverbank below to use the truss geometry as a graphic element against the sky. A wide angle lens works well for capturing the full span with the river curving away in the background, while a longer focal length lets you compress the bridge against the rolling badlands terrain beyond. Golden hour light in the morning or late afternoon brings out the warm tones in the weathered steel and reflects nicely off the Yellowstone's surface. Access is straightforward from the road, and the flat riverbanks give you room to move and find your angle. (Fallon, Montana, United States)
