"I took this shot exactly 5 years ago tonight on 10/25/2006 the 75th Anniversary of the opening of the Bridge. This makes today the 80th anniversary.  I entered it in the Bergen County Calendar contest and won first place. It was in the 2007 Bergen county Calendar. It is also included in my book of images on the George Washington Bridge I just published last week Available here: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2574859" -Michael P. Randazzo

Editor's Note: To see more of Michael's photography check out his website and facebook fanpage.  I picked this shot because of the wonderful mix between the fading ambient light of dusk and the artificial lights on the bridge and cars going by.  This is how you truly capture a wide gamut of dynamic range in a photo.  In my opinion, shooting at the right time of day as Michael did here is always better than trying to mash a bunch of photos together  to make a HDR image.  -MZ
