J Train On the Williamsburg Bridge

rickbern

I went up on the walkway of the Williamsburg Bridge with a tripod and an 8 second exposure. When you look down from the walkway you see a subway line (umm, an elevated subway line) and a couple of lanes of car traffic travelling beyond the columns. At this exposure the cars are just sort of pools of light.

I love the way the letter J chugs along like a spirograph for the entire 8 seconds in the red shot.

The blue shot is when I turned around back towards manhattan and shot towards the headlights rather than the taillights of vehicular traffic.

Hey Rick,
Those are both absolutely gorgeous. I wonder if you could post a slightly smaller version so that it would be easier to see the whole frame without scrolling. Makes it easier to appreciate the composition.

smaller sizes

Sorry. I use firefox on a mac and they scale okay for me. What size should I aim for for greatest compatiblity? I always want these two big because you can't see the "J" clearly at a smaller size.

Jack'll do

Both of these are really outstanding! But the colors in #1 just blew me away. Very well done indeed. You're really taking a chance photographing a bridge especially at night... lucky you didn't get arrested
