Brooklyn Bridge at Sunrise

Brooklyn Bridge towers and cables catch early morning light above the river, with the city receding behind them.

The bridge cables create dozens of fine lines, so start with the towers and deck before sorting them. Morning light separates stone, steel and water into useful groups. The distant city is softer than the bridge itself, while the river below offers long horizontal pieces once the structure is secure. A slow pass around brooklyn bridge at sunrise will usually reveal the small color changes that are easy to miss at first.
