The Little Stone Bridge

Thanks, Wendi!!! I kept thinking I was done with this one. Was only going to touch it up a little bit. Then thought … ooo .. wonder what hdr would look like?? Then .. well, it just snowballed! I think I’m sick … must get a life one of these days, rofl!!!!

LOL Thanks, darling!!! Oh, geeze .. ya got me there, hon!!!!! I’m a bit embarrased to say … haven’t figured that out on the camera yet, ROFL!!!!! PLUS .. well, if you’re going to go to all that trouble might as well do it in raw … and I can’t process raw on my old Photoshop .. BUT .. I have just found a fabulous little program I have my eye on for that very purpose. So … I’m looking to step up to that soon. Just not willing to put out any more $$ just yet.

Hiiii Mariola!!!! Thank you so much, sweetie!!!

Hey Luda, thank you .. I’ve bookmarked this link … looks a bit more complicated than I’d thought, but I’ll definitely give it a whirl soon!!! Yes I know I don’t need RAW to bracket, but for what I ultimately want to do, that’s another piece of the puzzle that’s finally coming into focus thanks so another very kind bubbler.

Thanks, sweetie … I took a dozen or more shots from this side, then went over to the other side and liked that much better in camera … but which one winds up on RB?? One of the first ones I shot, lol!!!! Go figure!!!!

ppppffffffttt!!! Nooooooo … heavens … think of the poor neighbors!!! HORRORS!!! LOLOL!!! Seriously … raw and I aren’t on the best of terms at the moment, but that’s all about to change I think. And frankly, I’m with you … who needs to lose all that space they take up?? But … i’m going to give it a go soon and we’ll see if there’s such a huge difference. I’ve still got a LOT to learn … and who am I to question the experts?? OH .. and thanks!!! Glad you enjoyed it, sweetie!!!

thanks sweetie!!!!!!!

Thanks Eric … as a matter of fact, there is HDR in there … somewhere … I forgot to write that part up in the comments section!!! DOH!!!! Good eyes!!! As to the time to learn it … just jump in and start clicking buttons!!!! It’s sooooo addicting!!!

Thank you so much, Carolyn!! This truly is a lovely, lovely place!!!

Thanks, sweetie!!! Yes this is the combination of techniques that I’ve used on several others … so glad you enjoyed it!! And I agree about the black matted version … I almost always include that option … love it!!!

Oh, you sweetie … thank you!!!!! I really wasn’t going to bother with it … in fact, I spent some time on the view from the other side yesterday but didn’t really like what was happening. Then I found a bridge challenge and thought I’d see what I could see.

Thank you!!!!!!

LOL!! Thank you!!! I don’t know … bridges, fences, benches, windows and doors … maybe they’re all a metaphor for … well … fill in the blank!!!!!

Michael, it’s a fantastic idea!!!!! Just as soon as I work myself up into a sufficiently bubbly lather and spend the $$ on Bibble (or d/o the trial, lol) ... I will follow your advice!!!!! I think my computer is already starting to hate me … must get in here with the dust buster shortly before we all hear a very loud, frightening computer-burp!!!!
