The first bridges in the world came from Mother Nature herself. Fallen logs spanning across rivers or small stones joining both ends of a lake are some of the natural bridges which have been here on Earth since the beginning of time. Taking heed from Mother Nature, people then began to make their own bridges which not only spans through rivers and lakes, but also across seas and oceans! Man made bridges have been in existence since thousands of years ago and some are still standing strong even till today.
Bridges are definitely amazing subjects for photography. Each bridge, whether long or short, tall or low, has its own unique shape and design. Beam bridges, cantilever bridges, arch bridges, suspension bridges, cable bridges and truss bridges are some of the different types of bridge structures in today’s times. Each structure is made of different material and has its own architecture. Whether being photographed from the sides, front, back, above or below, photographers can be sure of stunning results when taking images of bridges. External factors like the sunlight and the night skies add on to the splendor of the images. An in addition, moving objects like cars and people running on the bridge also increases the magnificence of these bridges.
