Sorry for the corny title - just couldn't resist.My name is Dennis and I just got back into photography after two-decade layoff. I started off in 35mm in 1973 and lugged a couple of bags of gear, cameras, lenses, etc around the world during a 22 year Navy career. I got out of that habit after kids came along and cribs, diaper bags and car seats elbowed out camera gear for room in the car. Also, while my wife was remarkably patient with my stopping and waiting for just the right lighting, dirty-diapered kids were less so.
I got back into photography after my wife "forced" me to buy a DSLR in December of 2008. We'd gone to a camera store to buy a point and shoot for her to use in her antiques and collectibles business and she caught me looking at a couple of DSLRs in the display case. She suggested I check them out 'just for fun", but, when I tried to give them back to the sales person she asked "Which one do you want?" and refused to leave the store until I chose one.
Sadly, I lost Mrs Sea_Dog to cancer six months later, but fortunately she got to see me revive the passion I once had. My gallery is a lasting tribute to her and our love.

Over the last two and a half years, since learning about Renderosity from a friend, has been a continuous learning and discovery process. The artists here are so amazingly talented and inspirational - and extremely friendly. Seeing their work and reading their comments on mine have allowed me to grow as an artist much faster than I could have on my own.

I like how you softened the hard edges of this structure. The soft sepia also plays its role. Lovely leading line taking us into the picture with you.

I love the aged filter applied to this, it really gives you a sense of nostalgia, or times gone by... and yes, the way the bridge leads us into the distance... from here, to there, from today, to tomorrow, from dreams, to reality. Beautiful! :)

Great capture Hugs Susan

An amazing looking construction and POV, enhanced with the special PW in sepia colour - all in all, it makes this a very note-worthy piece of art now, which belongs into the history books ;) BB

I know exactly where you're standing. What a great shot! I like the angle, and your postwork is superb. I hope you got to tour the lighthouse. It's a fascinating stop!

Beautiful shot. Would you believe I've postworked a version of this very same bridge and have it sitting in my ready to post box? I had a great local beer downtown after this stop:)
