Stephen Belovarich Photography

Upstate New York

I went for photorealism with this photograph of Rexleigh Covered Bridge found just outside of Cambridge, NY. This 3 shot HDR processed in Photoshop CC and Camera Raw has the closest to the natural lighting as I could remember it. The bridge has a notice painted on it that says "25 Dollars Fine For Driving On This Bridge Faster Than A Walk". It is a classic Upstate New York scene. Sitting beside the Rexleigh Bridge, just downstream on the Batten Kill is an abandoned Mill. The locals warned us the dilapidated structure is haunted. It is peculiar that if I would pan left or right outside of the frame, early Autumn color is all over the leaves. Half the trees haven't even turned except for in this patch around the old Mill everything looks dead. Kinda creepy. This photo is the last in a series of four from our visit to Rexleigh, just outside of Cambridge, New York near the border with Vermont.
