I discovered this wonderful antique bike at the Juniata Crossing Mercantile on Route 30, near Breezewood PA on May 10, 2009, and couldn’t resist the image.

Used the Nikon D40x and the 18-200mm vr Nikon lens, cp filter was probably still on. Post processing included a trip to Photoshop for removal of distractions, then to Photomatix for hdr (hand held camera, single image +/-2), then back to Photoshop for a light Orton and other final tweaking.

  • Clive, we’ve been dropping by this place on our way back and forth to the cabin for a couple of years … this time I was alone and had pleny of time to play around … it’s just the prettiest place … I have more to work on and upload … I want to give a shot of the whole building … it used to be a big, wonderful inn back in the days of horses and carriages!!! And it’s still so beautiful here … right on the Juniatta river!!!!

  • Thanks, sweetie!!!!! Goodness, how observant!!!! i don’t know .. guess they went off to see the wizard sometime through the years?? You know, this is either a real old bike that someone spiffed up a bit or it’s a replica of an old bike … not sure which!!
