Chain Bridge Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Chain Bridge was built in 1849. It was the first of seven bridges to be built across the Danube connecting the 'old' Buda to the 'newer' Pest side of this lovely Capital. In 1945 it was damaged by the Fascists, only to be put back into service in good enough time for the celebration of its 100th birthday in 1949.

Nice point of view, some strong lines make an interesting composition. I like the detail in the ironwork, we can see what gives the bridge its strength and solidity. Perhaps you could try the same shot as darkness is falling? I can see a string of lights on the bridge, that might make a nice photo.

It's amazing, I've just posted another photo of the same bridge, only to find it right by this one. To Andy: the night version is now available, not a great thing, but still..

Henry: I agree with Andy, good choice of the point of view, the streetlight on the foreground looks good... But I would probably crop it in a different way, leaving more sky above.
