Covered Bridge in Autumn

I’ve downloaded it and already started reading. I just had to come back and say thank you.

I am so jealous of your photos Lisa, wish I could make them as beautiful as you can, hahahah… I need to be so patient with processing which I do so hurriedly and even when shooting I don’t think and plan how to shoot that much. (

Great shot, I love the colours and tones. Thank you for the pdf link too, sounds like an interesting read.

Hi, Lisa! I love the covered bridge! Such texture! And, all the shades of autumn colour around it, only more muted at this time of year. It’s lovely! And, I will definitely read the book you recommend. Sounds right up my alley. Hope you’re well. (And, I hope my comments on your earlier photographs have been showing up…I’ve been responding via iPhone and learned that somethings haven’t been sent as I thought they had. Ahhh, still learning! Take care, Lisa!

Admired your beautiful shot first, then read your post – got as far as your mention of Tom Dinning’s book; downloaded it and promptly got lost. Only came back after reading the first 4 parts ;>)

Then went on to your post about your peonies (mine looked nothing like that when they were spent !). Both before and after shots are a lovely reminder of the beauty of the seasons.

Now back to Tom …

Beautiful – and I love the processing you’ve used, so dreamy

Stunning! It just invites me in. I put a link to the mini book by Tom Dinning on my side bar. I find it fascinating. Thanks for bringing him to my attention.

What a beautiful shot, Lisa! And thanks for the link to the book. I just started it, and it’s wonderful writing.

Even in this light, it is a fantastic photograph of this bridge.
Only, since we are (unfortunately) all perfectionists, please write your experience according to the book!

I love this Lisa! Yes, midday light is not the ideal light but occasionally it will work well. You did a good job!

Wow, this covered bridge looks magical! When Zeno and I were in the USA, I truly hoped to see one, but we never had the chance. Covered bridges are so picturesque and unique, thanks for sharing this one. And thanks for the ebook link too, it sounds like and interesting reading.
Enjoy your weekend.

love the way you have presented this …

Hermosa fotografía! Voy a ver el libro, suena interesante.Un abrazo y feliz fin de semana!!!

Your covered bridge looks magical! I’ll have to check out the book…. It sounds like a worthy read.

Thanks for the link, that book sounds very good…I love your shot and the processing too, it lends itself to the olden times feel of the bridge really well

Hi Lisa, how interesting you like photographing covered bridges, so unique. You did catch some color on the hills–it’s soft and muted and I like it! I like the shadows of the railing, too, leading up to the bridge, nice perspective. You surely have “learned to see.” Thanks for the tip on the mini-book, I’ll check it out. xx

So special bridge. Beautiful composed and photographed. Autumn is beautiful.
So funny it is when one gets good books that one can enjoy and learn something too.
Wish you a nice photo weekend.
Hugs Hilda

Oh Lisa this is beautiful. I love covered bridges and you have the most talented photography skills and eye I know. I love it

well since i love anything old, you can only imagine how beautiful i think this is…..xo

Excelente fotografia de bela Ponte….
Tem lá um Prémio no meu blog….
Cumprimentos

it’s just beautiful lisa, i wish there were some in this area!!

Your capture of the covered bridge looks like a painting and a little unreal – like something that has just appeared from nowhere like an image from the past. I like the muted shades. I like the perspective and the turning barrier which engages the eye.

Hi, Lisa. This covered bridge photo is the most beautiful among I had ever seen before.
I wish you have a wonderful weekend.

Hello Lisa!
Lovely autumn picture.
It looks like a painted picture.

Hello Lisa!
Autumn photo absolutely wonderful.
It looks like a lovely painted image.

This is beautiful Lisa!!

I was on one of my drives with my mother today and I had this feeling that you hadn’t posted in awhile…either on your blog or on FB! When I scrolled down my list of favorite blogs in my sidebar, I was happy to see this post! I might have told you previously that I LOVE covered bridges, particularly since discovering that Oregon has more of them than another other state west of the Mississippi (I think!). Two consecutive summers, I was fortunate enough to walk on and photograph several in the Willamette Valley. This is such a beautiful image! (Thanks for the link to the e-book, too.)

Beautiful covered bridge, I love the soft focus, love the shadow here too.

I love covered bridges and this one is wonderful. I love the texture of the old wood. I also like your pov and how you captured the curve of the road. Beautiful!

Such a pretty scene. I clicked on and skimmed through the ebook. Thanks for sharing it.

it is beautiful. I always wanted to see one. But that will probaly not happen. I also wonder why people actually built them. To keep the bridge free from snow?

It just looks so dreamy and fairy like. Happy Wednesday!

I love the ethereal look you gave to this bridge and the surroundings. it’s really a dreamy photo. thaks for the tip on the book. I’ve already saved it on my laptop. xxo

Beautiful Lisa! A couple of years ago my friend and I took a ride up to Vermont to seek out covered bridges. The tourist maps point them out! There is something so charming about them.

If you find out a secret to photographing in mid daylight, please share! It drives me crazy when I try to take a photograph of something vibrant in the daytime and the photo just does not do it justice.

This is beautiful the way it is, Lisa, but I would love to read that article on shooting in midday you mentioned. Any chance you could point us to it? I’m downloading the book you mentioned right now!

What a beautiful photo. Your editing on this is wonderful. I love the soft glow..

Hugs~

Love the leading lines and the soft focus, Lisa!

What article are you reading about shooting in midday light?Before I bought my DSLR last year, I had no idea that midday light is bad. It’s just the easiest time for me to go out. But now I look at my older photos and realize that the light was too harsh, so I need to learn how to take better pictures in midday, too!

Oh, my. Now that’s a shot worthy of everyone’s praise. Just spectacular.

We don’t have this type of bridge here. I would love to walk through this one. The closest I get to a covered bridge is in the film Bridges of Maddison County which is still my favourite film! thanks for the link to the book

Hi Lisa,
No covered bridges in my neck-of-the-woods. What interesting subject matter and you are brave shooting in mid-day light! I tend to go in tight w/ that type of light/time of day, if I find myself out in it.
Thanks for sharing Tom Dinning w/ us. His work is amazing, artful, wonderful “seeing”…. A true artist.
Happy day to you,
xo A

I do not recall ever having seen a covered road bridge, very interesting.

beautiful! i like it…:)

After such a stressful campaign season, this photo is so calming. Even though there’s not a lot of color, it’s still a lovely shot. And thanks for the book tip. Downloading now….. Hope your day is a relaxing one, my friend. xoxo

personally i think the light here is perfect …

I’ve never seen the bridge like this before…
very interesting construction!

Just lovely. In film, I was taught to go with sunny 16 or its equivalents and the images would be perfect. Haven’t checked to see if it works w/digital, because I like to shoot w/a wide aperture.

Hi Lisa

Thats a nice bridge never seen such one like this….. i like this composition and the light also very much.

Hugs, Joop

Absolutely in love of the rustic feeling in this image! STUNNING, my friend!

This photo shows that you can get a beautiful shot in midday light. Lovely processing also!
Thanks for the link.

a beautiful bridge. lots of textures. i like those diamond windows.

well it looks really nice to me, even if the tree color and lighting wasn’t what you wanted. It has a real Orton Effect.

Your covered bridge series is one of my favorites. The angle on this one is so pleasing. Thank you very much for the link to the mini book!

We don’t have beautiful bridges like this around here, it’s a pity, I’d love to photopgraph them along the year.
I love the Sunny f/16 rule, please let me know if you learn another one!
Have a nice day Lisa!

That is stunning. You know, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a covered bridge of this sort in real life, only in movies and photos and I’m originally from the midwest but I just don’t remember seeing one. We don’t have any like this in AZ that I’ve ever seen. They’re beautiful!

Love your covered bridge photography! Hope you share your thoughts/findings regarding midday photography.
