The Green Bridge

Jason Hermann

The famous Green Bridge located up in Sullivan County, NY just down the road from our house.  Michele grew up just around the corner and this bridge was 1 of those paces that all the kids would hang out at and play.  It was built in 1879 and the sign says Groton Bridge & MFG CO. Builders, Groton NY.  Being a Bridge lover myself I had to inspect this engineering marvel of it’s day more closely with the Canon 5D mark II and a few lenses of course ;)

My goal here was to be a Photojournalist.  I wanted to capture the bridge’s beauty and history the best I could without any crazy editing or anything. All these images are un-edited except for the 1st image because I printed it large and framed it for Michele :) Merry Christmas!!  All the other images just have a white balance correction in Adobe Lightroom, and some minor exposure adjustments.
I also tried to find some history on the Bridge, but came up dry.  Please email me if you have any info!

Here is a link to Google Maps if you want to see it for yourself ;) The Green Bridge

For Lenses I used the Canon EF 24-107mm f/4L IS, and the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS.

George Washington Bridge

Michele and I went down to the Palisades mall yesterday and on the way out of that “Shopping Paradise”, we swung by the palisades overlook. It offers a killer view, and the conditions were perfect :) For this image I used the 5D mark II, and the Canon 70-200 f/2.8 L. I had the camera set to f/9 and took two separate frames so I would have a High res Panoramic to work with :)
