.a.bridge.


it's a pretty bridge but when i first saw it it reminded me of the Lord of the Rings. yes, i'm a nerd. but it brought to mind Frodo and his 3 hobbit companions going off to meet Gandalf at the Prancing Pony in Bree. they were chased by a dark rider and any scene with this rider in it, the picture would go almost black and the zoom focus would get all weird.

so i did that to this week's what's your play picture. i darkened it a smidge, added a focal zoom, slight boost of color and cross processing.


note:
i'm doing this event next month:
Saving Boobies for Breast Cancer Awareness. Please participate in baking/making something pink and/or in voting.

Wow! I totally LOVE the zoom! And the darkened overall feel of the photo really makes me feel like a wraith is going to appear on the other end of the bridge!

This is awesome. I love the post-processing you did and the darkness. Very cool and such a great job.

I love what you did with the photo!
Feels like something mysterious is at the end of the bridge.

the camera doesn't always matter...you can get a huge dslr but take beautiful photos with a plastic camera, point and shoot or an i-phone. these are fantastic!
