Have you taken a shot of the Brooklyn Bridge...Suggestions

Will be in NYC next week. I can't decide on how I want to take my pic of the bridge. Either..

-From the Bridge looking into the city at sunrise
-From the City looking at the bridge at Sunrise
-Perhaps a 5 second shot of people walking into Manhattan. Starting with sunrise (mostly joggers I assume....?) until I get a good mix

If I take it from the city side, was thinking of going down to Battery park. Or what about from South Street Seaport or below the Manhattan bridge area on the Brooklyn side, looking to the left at the BB (that is, if I can get underneath or near the Manhattan bridge?)

The best shots seem to come from the Brooklyn side in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The skyline is a great background and the colors at sunset are magical. The other nice shots are dead center on the bridge to get the cables going up and blurred shots of people walking.

Here's one of mine. From that same general location you have a lot of options for angle and backdrop.

You can get great shots from the brooklyn side of the Bklyn Bridge, their is a beautiful park between the manhattan & bklyn bridge I have alot more of some shots I took of the Bklyn Bridge I am always in that park shooting since I live nearby

If you are in the city on the weekend I would not mind showing the park or a evening after work.

I took mine from a boat tour called the Circle Line. I was on the deck and took pics of the bridge as we approached it.

I like a spot underneath the Brooklyn Bridge, on the manhattan side. It's about 150 feet north of Pier 17, near the old location of the fish market. Just before dawn you can get some interesting light effects.

Wow!

I live in Adelaide, so I'm about as useful as flyscreens on a submarine, but I just wanted to say that last shot is absolutely awesome!!

Here is another, 8 seconds exposure. The line across the sky is a plane.
Enjoy, Larz
