About the Image(s)
This bridge was the first to be made of cast iron & is celebrated as a symbol of the Industrial Revolution. The bridge and the surrounding area is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Taken on a very dull day at 1/100th, f5.6, ISO 200. Some minimal cropping and brightening of the colours. I intend to go back again on a bright winters day where the foliage won't be as prominent.

I used the Camera Raw filter and isolate in bridge and buildings first, next I
isolated the sky and made adjustments, finally I worked on the foliage adjusting color and levels. Posted: 10/04/2025 22:05:05
