Entryway of the Historical Union Covered Bridge
This is a revised image from what I uploaded yesterday (I replaced the previous version which looked too HDR-ish). It is a shot of the entryway of the Union Covered Bridge in Missouri. The bridge, which has been restored, is closed to everything except foot traffic. Construction was completed in 1871 and spans the Elk fork of the Salt River on the Paris to Fayette Road. It is the only surviving example in Missouri of a covered bridge utilizing the doubled Burr Arch truss system.
Our car was parked in the parking lot just to the right of this scene. I left my wife sitting in the car while I hopped out to take some pictures... fortunately, she was somewhat patient with me because I was gone for half an hour (or more)!
The image is HDR (composed of three bracketed shots) and the result is a blend of AuroraHDR and two Lightroom versions of the images using Photoshop. I've noticed recently that I spend a lot more time adjusting curves in Photoshop for contrast and light/shadow definition than I used to do... and I sometimes go back and redo the images even if I have already posted them. Anyone else doing that or is it just me???
