Everyone walks Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan to Brooklyn but you're doing it backwards. Start at Brooklyn side (High St-Brooklyn Bridge on A/C) and walk toward Manhattan.

Views get better as you go, plus you end up downtown Manhattan where the photo spots are. Bridge less crowded on Brooklyn side. Go early morning or golden hour — Avoid harsh midday light.

Pro tip: small park under bridge on Brooklyn side has incredible skyline views with way fewer people than the bridge itself.
