Best spot to picture Brooklyn Bridge, NYC?

[sgogula]

I am planning to take brooklyn bridge pictures and not sure about the best shooting spot to stand and picture the bridge.

Anyone knows the best location to picture the Brooklyn Bridge?

All I would say is go to both the Manhattan side and the Brooklyn side. On either side you can move from street to street to get differing POV,effects of lighting,foreground and background components,etc.. You of course can shoot from the bridge itself,as you walk from one side to the other. It is an inspiring object and many great shots have been taken by some of the best in the world. Enjoy yourself,take as many shots as you can,daytime,nighttime,rain or shine enjoy!Steve B.

Thanks Steve for your reply. Is there any park or location spot where i can take full view of the bridge?

I have seen some pictures of brookyln bridge and manhatten bridge in one picture (full view). wondering from where I could get that view..

I am planning to take these pictures in night to capture that wonderful lighting in the evening.

Several spots will give you long views that can capture both bridges,i would search on the net for Brooklyn bridge maps you'll find more than one satellite /hybrid(map overlay of sat. pic w/street names etc) on the INTERNET.
The pic attached I took the same morning as previous one from a park just next to bridge.For night shots you can go very early or very late and park without difficulty so you can get out and move around,pick some good spots without the worry of parking meters traffic agents.

From Brooklyn Bridge park on the Brooklyn side you can get some good shots of both bridges if you have a wide enough set-up. This is the Manhattan Bridge taken from there.

Agreed, go there and get a shot like this. Then walk south west past the Empire Ferry to the boardwalk and get some more:

...then walk back up and walk OVER the bridge back into Manhattan.

I can't imagine there is one best spot to photograph anything...

I shot mine right by pier 17, theres a strip to the left of it, underneath some overpass or something....
