Image
of the Emerald Isle Bridge. Iconic to a lot of people of a good time.
It is a wonderful structure that is well traveled during the summer
vacation season.
I know there are several images of this bridge made by many different photographers. Some may ask why would you want to make images of the same thing that everyone else has. My answer to that is "they weren't me." Only I can take a photo and put my signature on it. Not that I'm better than everyone, that's not my point.
As photographers regardless if your shooting portrait, landscape or anything else, there are always two subjects in the photo. One is the subject matter of the photo and the other is the photographer.
Experienced photographers develop styles uniquely identifiable as their own. This to me, it's what separates a great photographer from a good photographer. And this is what collectors love to collect.
As photographers, the main thing is to get out to make photos and have good a time developing a personal style,.
