Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) There are many bridges that cross over the Ohio River, but perhaps none are as famous as this one. German Engineer John Augustus Roebling perfected the capabilities of steel cables enabling them to support more weight over a greater distance. He designed this bridge to be the prototype for the larger and even more famous Brooklyn Bridge. Construction began before the Civil War, was delayed and then finally completed in 1867. At a span of over 1000 feet, it was the world's longest suspension bridge at that time. During my lifetime, I have driven or walked across the bridge many times and have always considered it to be an enjoyable experience. Recently one sunny day with just the right amount of clouds, I really enjoyed my walk along a beautiful Cincinnati riverfront park looking south to Covington Kentucky. The steel structure and cables are actually just about this color of blue, so I digitally removed all other colors to create this artistic impact and a different way to see the... Suspension Bridge At Cincinnati.
I created this black and white image with just one color for artistic impact from my original color photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures and painterly-style effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.
PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.
Many thanks and best wishes!
