Thank you! The clouds are the reason why I put the first one up back in October 2006 - even though I never even "saw" the one I posted today..... now that time has passed, I like the details that I somehow never realized was in the "new" image..

I'll look at it again... one thing I found was that when I darkened it a little, I lost the autumnish feel of the mountain. However, I should be able to tone down the brighter areas and leave the darker ones alone...

I have found that just turning the brightness down is enough.. contrast i only use a minimal.

I didn't crop any - well, I take that back... when I resize an image from my camera, the ratio comes down to 1026x768 and I usually crop the two outside pixels... leaving 1024x768.
However... I understand the thought there... Thanks... And I do that with some photos...

very nice, the train adds alot to the photo and is placed perfectly, the clouds also look almost painted!

it was a lucky combination of the sun coming out from under a cloud and the train crossing at just the right time!

ah the right place at the right time, it always makes it worth while!

pretty soon, the bridge will be overtaken by the flora.
"i hear the train a commin

the bridge has been there over a hundred years now. there are stalactites growing under the arches!!!
I have tried to get a photo of them a couple of times but it's hard to get the right perspective... one of these days I will.

the ferry is just up the creek...

flash it or change the iso
i still think you should get a boat

Maybe when I finally cough up the money to ride the ferry, it'll get carried away by the downcurrent, and lodge a few miles downstream at this bridge... and I can take them at my leisure while we're waiting for rescue. Maybe.

i was thinking more a row boat

awww... where's your sense of adventure... being washed down the river on a ferryboat that's loaded down with cars... gee whiz - that sounds funner than a row boat!!!

but this isn't for fun...it is for photography

ahhh... but photography should be fun!

what could be more fun than rowing a boat under a dark dank bridge and shooting who knows what
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Very true... I'll have to give it some thought.

just do it before it freezes

hey... even better... I'll just walk out once the ice is solid!!!

does it get solid under the bridge
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think it gets solid everywhere - if it stays cold long enough.. this winter past it did not.

think i'd rather do the boat

make sure you have water proof storage for the equipment. I'd go with something more stable that a canoe

canoes are safer than people think...

hey
i've paddled a canoe so that line of reasoning doesn't quite cut it with me

Thank you! These clouds around here are amazing at times!

So... someone suggested I paint this eh? have to think about that... and reading along your page, it seems one can find lots of tips and tricks to photography,... unfortunlately, I have little spare time to read that much on a regular basis.. you know what it's like, one must make choices.
But I 'm with the above group.. a fine photo indeed!

Yes.. I am looking for that special one that touches me like the last three have... not that this one is not a nice shot.. but as a painting, i agree with you, others may be more suitable.

You might appreciate this one... I actually went down by the riverbank, but the rivers a little high for some reason, so then I trudged up through the weeds and over piles of washed up debris (mostly sticks and things)... to find a place along the bank where I could get a shot without trees in the way...
(I might have ruined a good pair of work pants in the process)
