Share this Page
The Old Vicksburg Bridge, built in 1930, is a cantilever bridge that spans the mighty Mississippi River at Vicksburg, Mississippi. Its steel framework reaching skywards presents an excellent example of early 20th-century engineering and an iconic subject for architectural photography. The bridge’s viewpoint from either side of the river provides magnificent panoramas of the bridge itself against the backdrop of the expansive river and the setting or rising sun. Capturing the bridge during sunrise or sunset will offer beautiful golden hues and dramatic shadows. Moreover, consider trying out long-exposure photography to depict the moving waters of the Mississippi River beneath the enduring bridge. This historic landmark, with its undeniable grandeur and significance, is a compelling subject for any photographer.
