Something for the Weekend - Part 218 - A round of Bridge!

[davescm]

Hi,

Thanks to Jane for creating our last, very successful,  'cracked bell' challenge and to all who took part and posted their images.

This week, we are off to the Scottish highlands and, in particular to Carrbridge. The packhorse bridge, built in 1717, is said to be the oldest stone bridge in Scotland. It was all but destroyed by a great flood, in 1829. So, 195 years on, I thought our Photoshop team could give it some attention. What can you do to bring it back to use?

The “rules”:

• Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
• Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc.
• Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”.
• There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
• The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

To download the image, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

Have fun!

Dave

Maybie the Carrbridge River Horse wes the leastest kennt baest sein in Scottish watters.

It cam frae far awa with the Muckle Spate in 1829 and dug in fer a wee while under the Packhorse or Coffin Bridge.

The lassbairns fand it bonny and fed it aipples and tatties, grass and swade, but it tired of the ladbairns casting stanes frae the bow, and it wes awa.

Haha Jacob!

[davescm]

Funny. I don't think hippos have a record of running away though 🙂

Dave

[Jacob Bugge]

Indeed, Dave, but maybe a certain difficulty in getting up on the bow; and if successful, would the bridge still be above the water?

Was fun! Tx @davescm

Which planet is this Trevor? Maybe a friendly one where the Stargate team are able to get someone to take their photo 🙂

[Leslie Moak Murray]

Good job on the reflections, Trevor

[davescm]

A great idea and good use of the round shape, Trevor.

Places like this have been inspiration for famous works of art. Here's one. 🙂

[davescm]

Nice job Dean! I like the bridge reflection.

I recently shot a bunch with a fisheye lens and the circular space under the bridge tempted me to use one of my shots. Still not sure what I think of it...

[Don B Michigan]

Still getting the hang of the forum - my file was too big, and I attached it, but it's not previewed in the post. Will do it better next time. 🙂 Here' s a smaller version.
