Down the Middle

I love the iconic photo taken by Marion Warren of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. It is a great inspiration to me as well as the city of Annapolis, MD. Downtown Annapolis is a lovely city that is integrated with the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. It is a location that offers lots of photographic opportunities.

The photo I took was durning cruise of the Chesapeake Bay. It went as far as the Bay Bridge itself and then returned back to the dock. At the time I was just in the beginning of my photography days, I was using a Nikon N75 camera body using a Tamron 70-300mm lens using black and white film.

As the boat was passing in between both spans of the Bay Bridges I decided to take a picture while I was directly between both spans. I composed the photo in such a way that both spans of the bridges would be seen going off into infinity into the center of the photo.
