The Gentle Edges of New York: DUMBO & Brooklyn Bridge (1)π½
π Today, while organizing my photo album, I realized that half of all the heart-fluttering moments in New York are hidden in this old Brooklyn warehouse district. Unlike the sharpness of Manhattan, DUMBO feels like a film set polished by time. π Location One: DUMBO Washington Street: As classic as it gets! The Manhattan Bridge perfectly frames the end of the street. Photography Tips: π Definitely go early! Otherwise, it will be packed with people! The morning light is also incredibly beautiful. π Stand in the middle of the road (be mindful of safety!), and use a telephoto lens to create a compressed effect, making the bridge appear closer and larger. π Try shooting from a low angle or capturing a silhouette for a unique feel. Pebble Beach / Main Street Park: Here, you can capture a photo with the Lower Manhattan skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the carousel all in one shot! #NewYork ππ
