Abandoned Train Draw Bridge

Last week I traveled a little bit to get some fresh content.. I ended up in Tampa, Florida. Right beside the Art Museum is this abandoned draw bridge / train track.. Here are my results...

So I couldn't go any further on the track itself as it was posted and apparently there are cameras and alarms that will go off if you pass a certain point.

I had my Sigma 30 mm lens attached. I also used a CPL filter for this too because it was extremely bright and hot that day.

My goal was to capture different perspectives and use as angles in nature as possible for optimal composition!

I was able to get shots from not only the bank on the park side but there was a walkway / new bridge right beside this one. So I went from one end to the other. I also had to pay for the parking garage so I challenged myself to make this quick lol.

This has to be my most favorite photo. I shot it looking through one of the concrete fence / railing openings.

And as you can see there was A LOT of graffiti. I honestly love graffiti in places like this. Some call it vandalism where others see art!

I do have more sets of photos from other places on my adventure so stay tuned.

Also I wanted these in monochrome because I felt it would bring an emotional impact to the viewer.. Was I right?

ALL PHOTOS WERE TAKEN BY ME ON MY CANON MIRRORLESS MSERIES IN VARIOUS SETTINGS AND EDITED IN ADOBE LR

All the photographs are incredible, but I must say that I think the first one is great because of the composition and how the lines of the rails direct the eye toward the top. Excellent photos!

thank you!! Sometimes the most simplest of old school composition rules is exactly what makes a photo art!
