The second stop during my first day of photographing covered bridges in Putnam County, Indiana was at the Pine Bluff Bridge.

The setting around Pine Bluff is more attractive than that around Cornstalk (see previous post) and this will be a great place to shoot, when the fall colors peak.

I found a way to get down to the creek, where I could walk along the edge of the creek and beneath the bridge to shoot it from both sides.

I experimented with the DxO Nik Selective Colorization of a monochrome image with a couple of the photographs taken of this bridge, bringing out the red color of the bridge after converting the images to monochrome.

The photo above is my favorite of this bridge with the curved road leading to it.

The final image here is looking back from near the bridge down the roadway leading to the bridge. I know this will be a great place to try to return to another time, when the fall colors are at their peak.
