The night I shot this was the third evening we’d been out working sunsets along the Arno. Three of us had started on the Ponte Santa Trinita but quickly realized that the light we wanted would be two bridges up-river, shooting from the Ponte Alle Grazie. Sunset was just a few minutes away and so we ran the half mile, tripod-mounted cameras over our shoulders, through the city streets to reach a point where we could place the Ponte Vecchio into the color-drenched sky. The effort was worthwhile, for we got the best shots that evening, spending more than an hour on the Ponte Alle Grazie as the sky darkened and the city lights came on. I created this particular shot about 35 after sunset.
