Big Apple Icons, Old and New

An early morning blue hour view of two of New York City's most recognizable bridges, the Manhattan and Brooklyn. Center frame lies the Big Apple's newest icon, One World Trade Center — well, most of it, as it's still under construction. Can't wait until that bad boy is finished.

 

I had a plan in my mind's eye to get this comp before I set foot in Dumbo. I knew I could get both bridges in, and I knew using the 14mm, I'd be able to get all of this old grungy broken pier junk in the foreground; it was but a hope that I'd fit One World Trade Center in (I thought maybe the bridge would obstruct it). Even better was when I saw it was equidistant from the two bridge towers in the distance.
