The Frederick Douglass-Susan B. Anthony Memorial Bridge is a triple steel arch bridge over the Genesee River in Rochester, New York. This photo was taken during the blue hour from the Genesee Riverway which affords scenic views of the Rochester skyline.
To get to this area, look for the Corn Hill Landing shopping and restaurant district. The Genesee Riverway is behind Corn Hill Landing. Oh, and if you like pizza, check out Tony D’s Coal-fired Oven Pizza restaurant. Fabulous!
Very nice, Scott! The warm orange tones complement the blue hour perfectly. Great composition and good use of leading lines.

Thank you, Tracy. Working with a tripod pays dividends as it slows me down and I do “see” better that way. Need to do the same when I am not using one.

I agree with Tracy, this is beautiful.

Thanks, Michaela! I know it is hard to tell without a reference but the water is very high. Normally, there would have been lots of boats around but the canal had not opened yet to allow them access.

Like most normal looking things, once night falls with a little lighting added, the normal transforms into something beautiful.

All the times you have been to Rochester and you have never seen this bridge? It’s right near the arena. You need to take a drive in the next time and thank you!

You can view them on flickr under Actions/View Exif Info. There you find I used a Nikon D700 camera and the exposure was 15 seconds, f/16, ISO 200, EV 0 with a focal length of 16mm. In the tags for the photo, you would see I used a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 DX lens. If you assumed I used a tripod, you would be right. 🙂
