I need to take some shots of Queensbridge (QueensBuro Bridge, NYC) tomorrow night.
Anyone know of a good spot to takes pics of this thing? Looking for a nice wide shot of the entire span, panographic shot. Something off the "F" line would be good.

possibly taking one of those slow moving party boat cruisers and having them slow donw to take them underneath the bridge

cool, where off the F line, I mean which stop would u say?

Hmm, I left NYC about 9 months ago and I know forget all the stops, as I usually took the N and R anyway. I think that somewhere near Roosevelt Island area or walk down near the river (Queen's side) to get some.

Pittsburgh man, where I was born, in this inner city shitty area, worse than you could imagine. Hate it, no culture, want to move back to NYC. Well I lived on 2nd and 91st for a while too. 9/11 hurt me too much bro. Lost a lot.

shit, thats why I need to photograph the damn thing... its for an Album cover for Tradegy (Mobb Deep, QB Murderers) so Im screwed either way!
I used to live by the area under the bridge and that place was all crazy, junked/burned cars everywhere, empty bulletshells all over the ground, etc. But I want to shoot the bridge from a distance, so I dont need to be in the hood to do it... It's reall under the bridge thats the worst.

yeah your right that bridge sucks bigtime! Maybe freaking go through that riverside area in Queens with a friend in early morning so the light is nice. If you want try hip-hop setting shots that the place.

ohh ok so yuo don't want to be in that hood, ok? so take the boat and ask them to stop, people will wonder how you got that shot too. Like what the hell?

cant be on a boat, need to have a long shutter speed.

Hmmmmmmmmm, maybe there is a cat walk or something, how far away do you have to be?
- tobe0
far enough to have the entire bridge in view. I'm planning of do a panograph cause the bridge will run from the front to back of the cd case.
