My favourite Wreckage along The Hudson - More of what NYC once was

in nyc •  7 years ago  (edited)

My favourite wreckage along the Hudson River is the 69th Street Transfer Bridge. It was once a transfer terminal for the New York Central Railroad once used the bridge to transport freight from rail yards to the river barges that floated up & down The Hudson River.

Many upper class NYC residents consider it 'junk' and an eye sore, whereas I love this dangling piece of NYC's past. Up close, the wreckage causes my imagination to float back in time & I can literally see the workers high up in the air, working pulleys & rigging keeping goods & traffic moving up & down The Hudson River.

This small piece of what once was hangs on, although by a thread at this point, & I take every chance I get to capture her outline of metal latticework & the bits of the neighbouring piers in the changing light of the sun.

What you've gotta do next time, is take some nice HDR shots of this place, just like this, during sunset. These are absolutely amazing btw.

I think I'd probably need a real camera for that & I know nothing about cameras. Might have to start learning. Any tips on which one to look at to start with are welcome :)

Yes you managed to capture a stunning shot!

It's easy with such a grand subject with so much real human history embedded deep within it's metal & rust ~

Heidi you probably downplay the fact that you have immense talent a bit but agreed :)

Great pics, you're talented and you've just got my follow :D

Thank you @themessengers
