Our Bridge

USAIR

Well one of them anyway.
This is the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge it links Covington Kentucky to Cincinnati Ohio built in 1866.
Andy will recognize this bridge he has the big brother to this one.(Brooklyn Bridge)

You can just make out the murals on the flood wall in Covington.
The murals are hand panted and are also very cool.






Thanks

Nice shots. I especially like the second one... The sky looks fantastic, the buildings stand out well, and the six light flares coming through the bridge are cool - not to mention the water reflections. Great work.

Great shots We really need to get together some time.

I like how you framed the P&G towers in the back ground.

We need to have a local boys shoot out sometime as soon as it warms.


Thanks for sharing!

Yep we will have to all get together and do some shooting.
The riverfront is a great place to shoot
Here's a pano of the area I was shooting from.
I was in Cincinnati shooting across the river to Covington Ky.


I haven't been able to go out much ...I keep getting called into work for snow.
This has been a bad winter for us ...would like to have just one weekend off.

Anyway thanks for the look Tim

The Roebling Bridge. Great shot. I prefer the first, but the lights are nicely captured in the second. The murals you mentioned seem to be found in many towns along the Ohio River. I found these in Maysville Kentucky along their flood wall, shot with a CoolPix 995 and perspective corrected in PS

Yes that seems to be the theme along the river not sure just why?
But they are nice to look at...I will have to see if I can capture those in Covington.
I think the rivers back down now it was up above flood stage.

Here's one from the recent flood.
Covington Ky.

Were you in a boat or did your feet get wet for this shot?? Maybe you were on a pier?

Great shot - The best of the three if you can clone out some of the electrical wires.

I shot a picture of the Court House in Maysville which is a very old building and must have spent two hours cloning out the wires that have been strung up outside it. What a shame.

Yes I need to get rid of the wires but ....
I'm lazy I like shooting more then post processing.

The Mike Fink sign is right on a wall that goes straight down to the river,when it's not flooding.
I was in the street Greenup St. it just looks worse then it is.

It's a great spot to shoot I am going down there tomorrow I hope.

See you later
