Open your eyes! I took a few minutes looking for a shot of this covered bridge, I looked through the viewfinder just framing the shot. This is the tricky part, Do not leave camera bag...

Isn't it amazing as photographers we can see things others can't and yet we do not notice the obvious. Lesson learned.

Where is this bridge located?

I am always amazed at what I (we) just don't see when we are looking straight at it. Pretty funny.
As to where this bridge is located, I have put this URL in:

Here is the picture I posted. A friend of mine used PhotoShop to remove it. that is the picture you're looking at without the bag.

I don't know how the shopped picture wound up here, I am very surprised

I put it there. Just funnin' with you. That's the smiley at the end of the comment.

Funny thing a photographer friend of mine did the same thing on an indoor family session. The best photo of the series had his backpack in plain view. As a favor, I retouched it out of the image.

Two possibilities 1. crop it out 2. use photoshop's clonestamp tool to eliminate it. Suggestion: when shooting crop loosly and then crop in photoshop or any photo editor.

That's great! My very next purchase of software will be Photoshop! I am dying to learn how to do that. Thanks

Do you recommend Photoshop, or is there something else considered better? (LightRoom?) I would appreciate some advice there!

I've been using PS since version 2. So, I'm much more comfortable with it than any other application. Though I do have several at my disposal I tend to lean toward PS because of comfort and leaning curves for others. The other seem to be kept as speciality tools for just certain operations.

I recommend photoshop its pricey but is terrific. There are lesser priced versions (ie elements) I have not used any of the others but photoshop is the industry standard and therefore has much more help available than the others (books, magazines,dvds,etc.) and it can do so much. I'm still using version CS2which is several years old and I learn new things about it very often. I'm not sure anyone can do everything it is able to do. For what I do, I don't feel there is much in the newer versions that would help me. You probably can buy an older version on E-Bay or Amazon for considerably less than the CS6 would cost. I will attach a couple of photos showing some of the things I do with CS2. Good luck Bob

Open the picture in photoshop, crop to size then on the filter menu click on stylize then click on glowing edges hit control/command 0 to size image to screen then play with the 3 sliders to get the effect you like best.they save as to the folder you wish to put it in.
