timsdd aka Tim's Digital Darkroom

I got pinched! I found myself left with one picture from my Springfield VT picture set, and what is next, Maine! I didn’t want to leave this one out though since it is the only covered bridge I shot the entire trip!

Baltimore Springfield
Granville Leland, 1870

Town Lattice, 37′, spanning an unnamed brook next to the Eureka Schoolhouse on Route 106. A State Historic Site, relocated and restored by Milton Graton & Sons in 1970.

On deck are probably some Dallas Cowboys pictures and then BOOM! Nubble Light @ Night!!

HDR (High dynamic range) tree photos. This would have been better suited for the fall on a cloudy day, neither of which were possible! But I liked them well enough to share and I’ll leave it @ that :)

my fav of the 3

I’m a creature of order (I like going in order) and so you might be sick of these river pics by now but none to worry, we’re almost done with them ;-)]

This one was WAY underexposed, so I pushed it +3 and dropped the hammer on the black :)

This one with the FE is VERY misleading. What I was trying to show is the immense drop off from the point @ which I am standing but the lens really brought everything shallow. Trust me when I say that the bank is MUCH steeper than the lens gives it credit for. Also, I wasn’t trying to be cute including myself in the frame, this was my natural stance and that is how much that lens can pick up!

A regular shot for comparison :)

This is probably the best and my favorite shot of all the ones I took this day, (not in a van) down by the river. VT has had quite a dry summer so I was lucky that the river had excellent flow for this section of falls. Last year the water was too high actually, I think it kind of ‘washed out’ some of the breaks.

I think this is a pretty neat shot, I like how it starts ultra wide and then tapers into a bottleneck shape as the river goes downstream.

I took this shot quite by accident, fiddling with the camera and or tri-pod, as I was getting ready to walk down the road. Sometimes some of your most interesting shots are taken in this matter, by chance. I kind of liked how it looked with the motion.

More of the Eureka Schoolhouse, this one obviously was using the Fish-eye lens in a dramatic fashion to magnify the barrel distortion.
