Title:	Old Bridge Detail
Gear used:	OM-4Ti + Zuiko 50/1.4 (serial <1,000,000)
Diaphragm:	f/2 or 2.8
Shutter speed:	1/60
Film used:	E100SW
Technical information:	Handheld shot in late afternoon, looking down. Scanned on a Microtek 35t, sharpen filter used, as slide scanned slightly soft. The Ilfochrome of this is razor sharp, however.
Location:	This bridge crosses a small drainage ditch just across the levee on the Arkansas side of the St. Francis River near Cardwell, MO. My lovely and talented wife and I spent an afternoon driving the levee, catching a few photos, and supporting my IRA investment in Budweiser. Hard to imagine a better way to spend an afternoon.

Nice, restful image, though I'd be hard pressed to say it was part of a bridge without the description. I can see sitting here and relaxing a while.

Nice texture and lighting. It is funny, when I first looked at it I didn't identify the water in the background. when I looked again after reading the description and looked at the background, I almost felt a touch of vertigo ;-)

This looks like another early entry for TOPE4, with all those straight lines.

I'm surprised everyone didn't immediately recognize this as part of an old bridge. But then I am OFTEN surprised at how people will either be amazed at a photo I didn't think was much more than interesting or pass by shots I thought were masterpieces. This sort of feedback (TOPE & ADITL) is an ongoing education for me.
