This Bedford County covered bridge was built in 1902 and utilizes a Kingpost truss design to run 138 feet over the Juniata River in Harrison Township just off of the intersections of state routes 4005 and 4007. It is one of the few Bedford county bridges painted the traditional red color. It is open to daily vehicular traffic and is in excellent condition. The bridge is owned and maintained by the State of Pennsylvania. The bridge has also been known as the “Kinton Covered Bridge”.
I shot this as seven bracketed RAW frames at 1/3rd stop variance and then combined them into an HDR and toned mapped them with Photomatix Pro before applying the “brown with muted edges” filter from PhotoTools Pro to a separate layer in order to give it an antique feel. The I erased the parts of that layer which consisted of the wooded parts of the bridge, revealing the color of the bridge. This is where that Wacom tablet and pen device I bought late last year really comes in handy.
