Great bridge pictures from all over the country. Here's one from Westfir, Oregon, two miles from home.
North Fork of The Willamette River at Westfir
Pedestrian walkway on the side.
Pedestrian entry on right.
Built in 1945, the "Office Bridge" connected a lumbermill with the office across the river. The mill is long gone and is now a picnic area on this side of the bridge.

Does Dawg have "doggles"? Here's a picture of "Elam" sporting a pair at Waldo Lake in 2005.

I travel as much as I can by motorcycle to as many places as possible looking for the photo opp of the day. Landscape, fur, feathers, are all of interest. When dead of winter comes I resort to 4 wheel drive and river walks.
A rank amatur after more than 40 years of taking pictures I am in hopes of improved skills by associating with knowledgeable people like those I have seen here while watching your posts from the shadows.

JohnM, I share your interest in motorcycle riding photo ops. In 2000 my wife and I took a three month ride across the USA and back with a Sony Mavica in a pouch on my waste. Mailed floppy discs home by the bushell (only 12 photos to a disk). Very poor quality photos but the camera was state of the art at the time.

I now have a Nikon D300, which I took on a ride to MT St Helens in Sept. Pics here: http://grb.smugmug.com/2011/Mount-ST-Helens-Ride

I used the "quick select tool" in Photoshop CS5 and "feathered" in the "refine edge" feature so as not to show an obvious line around the selected area. I do notice in looking at the before/after side by side that mine looks even darker, which puzzles me because I made no adjustments except to the man. ummm?
Forgot to mention .... when I made the selection, I used the "brighten" feature under "image adjustment". Didn't use the dodge tool. .....I didn't think of using the dodge tool. It might accomplish the same thing. I wonder though if it would create an unwanted "halo" around the guy?

Curious as to what others think about this photo? Critiques?
I think it is a great/interesting composition but was also hit with the "too dark" thought. And, as Nighthawk did, I've taken the liberty to lighten it a little, but in keeping with the "mood" you intend I just isolated the man and his horn and left the rest as it was.

My first sunset. Right out of the camera, any suggestions?
Beautiful color and sky texture.
It would be great if you could increase exposure at the bottom. If you have Photoshop you can fix that with layers ..... Especially if the original was taken in RAW .... over expose a copy to lighten the bottom, then merge it with the other.

Eric, I share your view about HDR in that many look cartoonish, surreal. but sometimes that is the effect people are going for. In that case, there are some unique, interesting pictrues but again in a category of their own.
Your picture is great. I would not have known it was HDR if you'd not said. I have a question about the 3 exposures. Is it possible to take 1 photo in RAW and make two copies, increasing exposure on 1 and decreasing exposure on the other to get the three levels of exposure. The reason being you might not have the convenience to get three shots at the time and only realize later, with one photo, that HDR will save it?

My son-in-law is in a quandary: Nikon D5000 or Canon T3i. I'm a Canon devotee and want to give him objective advice. Help will be appreciated. Thanks
The reason I use a Nikon is because I started out with one in 1972 and the accumlated lenses worked on my upgrades. Same was true when I got my first digital SLR. Had the lenses already so it was a no brainer to go with Nikon, although I have heard/read so many glowing reviews on Cannon I will try that route in my next life :)
