This is the Bogert’s Covered Bridge which crosses 145 feet over the Little Lehigh river in Allentown Pennsylvania. The bridge was built in 1841 and is closed to vehicular traffic and located in a public park setting.
I took this on Saturday afternoon 4-4-2009. Processed as a HDR with Photomatic Pro from five RAW bracketed frames and touched up a bit with Topz Adjust Plugin for Photoshop CS4 to bring out some of the weathered tones in the wood. This was the third of three Lehigh County covered bridges I photographed on Saturday 4-4-2009.
One of the challenges with HDR from multiple shots is making sure everything lines up when the frames are combined. On a really windy day like Saturday this poses a big problem with branches blowing around in the wind. You can see an example of this on the right side of this image where the evergreen branch is. :–/
