inside Groveton covered bridge Photo

Photographer’s Note

Groveton covered bridge is situated in the White Mountains region of New Hampshire. It is one of the only covered bridges of New England that has been painted both inside and outside.
The bridge spans the Ammonoosue River.
The photo shows how elaborate and heavy the construction is.
The bridge dates from 1852 and was built by Captain Charles Richardson and his son. When U.S. Route 3 was reconstructed in 1939, the Groveton covered bridge was bypassed. It is now used for foot traffic only.

In workshop you can find a front view of the bridge.

It's a nice bridge, the colours are great, it's a bit falling left, but I still like it:)

Belle prise de vue et le graphique de la scène attire l'attention. J'aime bien l'architecture de ce beau pont couvert. Nous en avons encore chez-nous mais il faut les chercher. Belle présentation et intéressante note.
Bravo!... et bonne semaine,

Hi Paul!
That's an extremely interesting, attractive and eye-catching picture! It's also beautiful, with excellent sharpness, perfect exposure, very nice colors, very well chosen pov and superb composition!
All the details of the structure of the bridge were so well captured and the visual results are terrific! The inside of the bridge is the main element in this image, but the outside also plays an important role in it! Awesome photo job!
TFS - Congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

Centered view, low POV! This is the very best design for the photography - at least I think so! :)
Great one, I really like such photos very much.
Greetings!

Hello Paul,
Superb perspective.
I like a lot the curves too.
Have a nice day,

Howdy Paul!
Wonderful point of view, very good perspective, original composition.
Regards.

guytoc (1408) 2009-04-14 11:03

Bonsoir Paul,
La perspective frontale est intéressante et la convergence des lignes de fuite remarquable. Mais ce qui me séduit le plus ici est la construction de la structure du tablier, y compris les arceaux porteurs, réalisée complètement en bois!! Une prouesse technique avant l'heure ! Vraiment intéressant, merci pour le partage.
Cordialement.
Guy.

Bonsoir Paul
très belle perspective dans cette image; J'aime beaucoup la luminosité sur le sol et le cadrage symétrique. Bravo.

Nice geometrical patterns in symmetry, i think this is the best view point for this subject. well done.

BelCan75 (2416) 2009-04-15 10:47

Hallo Paul,

Dat is een prachtige foto met al die lijnen wat het een enorme diepte geeft. Mooi zichtpunt met mooi licht, knappe details en prima kleuren! Je workshop is ook erg mooi en geeft ons een idee hoe het er eigenlijk uitziet. Knap werk en prima vastgelegd!

Groetjes,
Ann

hello Paul,

Joli graphisme, tu as bien joué avec toutes ces lignes.
Bonne journée

Hi Paul,
Wonderful look at the insides of one of these old wooden beauties.
It is alway hard to manage the light streaming through the insides of these bridges and you did a fine job of handling it.
Regards, Tom

Hi Paul,

Dag Paul,
The way you framed creates a very nice and strong perspectives, I like a lot the details of the wood floor, combined with light and shadow.
Well composed to show the graphical potential of this bridge!
Groetjes,
Marianne

danyy (68386) 2009-04-18 23:10

Bonjour Paul,
l'oaccasion était trop bonne de jouer avec la perspective.
Voilà qui est fait avec un POV que tu aurais pu prendre un peu plus encore, pour augmenter l'effet de fuite le long du sol.
Excellente lumières, j'aime le rendu fidèle de la texture du bois.
Excellent dimanche.
Daniel.

johannes68 (2858) 2009-04-20 1:28

Hi Paul,
very interesting bridge, I like these old wooden constructions a lot, they show a lot of ingeniousity and often last longer than sttel or concrete constructions.
Regards,
Johannes

Graymond (220) 2009-04-20 7:35

Good shot Paul. The composition of the bridge's structure, especially the flooring planks lends itself well to your shot. Great lines! Color and clarity are nice. The brightly colored foliage out the end is a good touch.

I attempted a shot a few years ago pretty similar to yours which is posted in my TE page. Yours is much better!

darek1978 (11161) 2009-04-20 8:52

Hello Paul,
Perspective indeed, this is an excellent piece of work, your POV is perfect, the light has been brilliantly managed & there is great symmetry. Congratulations!

siolaw (25720) 2009-04-24 18:27

Salut Paul,
Un bon graphisme et une grande perspective sont les point forts de la photo. La lumiere est difficile mais bien controlee. Un noir et blanc aurait pu marcher aussi je crois.
Amities
Laurent.

jafadabret (39245) 2009-04-30 23:19

Bonjour Paul.
Le graphisme de ce pont couvert en perspective est superbe. Ta photo le met parfaitement en valeur.
Bonne journée.

you have obtained from your excellent Pov. Nice light on the wood planks too. Tfs!
Best regards

Hello Paul
A successful perspective of this beautiful metallic construction.
The mix of curves and straight lines is particularly pleasing.
The note, which accompanies it, is interesting.
Regards.
Pierre.

Bonjour Paul
Thanks for the perfect symmetry and those converging lines
that attract attention like a magnet on this ancestral framework.
You managed well with the outside exposure.
Au revoir.

Paul, what a great shot, so often the reason for the covers can't be properly photographed but you did a great job here. The WS is also a great capture, technicals seem perfect to me on both shots.

batalay (20800) 2009-06-03 7:16

Hello Paul,

This is a unusual image of a covered bridge, and a superb one at that. The internal structure of one of these iconic bridges is revealed for the first time in my mind.

Warm regards from Virginia,

Bulent

bernardec (2225) 2009-06-06 23:04

Salut Paul,

j'aime beaucoup le graphisme de ta photo, pour l'acier comme pour le bois, et ce recul qui fait entrevoir toute petite, la sortie du pont!
excellent
Bernard
