For the holiday weekend, my parents and I went to see a sheep herding competition. Weird. But cool.
Anyways, while we were driving out into the middle of nowhere in Oregon, we passed this old, red covered bridge. I fell in love. And I remembered the movie The Bridges of Madison County and I remembered that I always wanted to go there – wherever that Madison County is. But, I digress.
I made my dad pull over so that I could take some pictures. And then I cursed myself for not bringing my fancy camera and so these were taken with my iPhone. And I edited them in Aperture and Photoshop. Lately I have been adjusting exposure, level, saturation and stuff like that in Aperture and then I go over to Photoshop to apply an action. It is a little time consuming, but I love it! I might do a step by step one day on these photo’s, but I might not, we’ll see.
Now, onto the main event of this post. The red covered bridge of my heart and my dreams!
I used a different action on each shot. Which is your favorite?

Ok, I seriously have no idea what you mean by “actions”, but… teach me?
My favorite was the second one down – I love the red in it!
I love the “vintage” look in #2. It seems to really fit with the idea of covered bridges (which I saw in Vermont last year and loved too!) And I love the sunspots in #4. I’m a sucker for sunspots. Plus I love the slightly different perspective. Keep doing that!
