On Golden River
Been a away for quite a while and just getting back to renewing my membership, you know how it is things get to be real busy in life, haven't shot a whole lot of images the last few months as well.

I am selling a lot of prints though but it has kept me away from shooting very much, so I am making it a priority to get out and burn my camera up.

I shot this one earlier this week, I love the golden color of the sun rising thru the fog over the bridge here in Madison. Hope everyone is doing well and maybe I can now be a little more active in the site :wavey: :wavey:

Very good to hear from you Bernie, I was wondering where the heck you ran off to. I'm glad you're doing well!

Nice scene here, I like the birds (ducks?) especially. I would like to see the rotation corrected, as it looks like it should be turned clockwise, based on the vertical pillars of the bridge. Very atmospheric.

I like the overall scene, Bernie, but do agree with Joel regarding the rotation..the river also appears to be tilted.

Good to see you back here...hopefully you will have more time to spend in the forum! :smile:

I like the color, fog, mist, and that you caught Wally E crossing the bridge. The tilt works for me.

Wally I don't know if you have ever crossed that bridge, but as a driver I bet you would not like it much, very narrow and lot of traffic.

But I sure do like to photograph it !! :biggrin: :biggrin:

I might have been there.

we have a very narrow old steel bridge that crosses the mississippi at sabula iowa,,

when i meet another truck you have to slow to a crawl to keep from slapping mirrors, and i

feel sorry for people in cars they always look at me like there ready to jump.

Wally, sorry to point the finger at you but I knew it wasn't an overloaded hopperbottom so it couldn't be me.
