Hi, I'm Marilyn. Â I've been posting here on RR for a few years now and thought it was time to update my profile. Â It's been wonderful learning so much from the amazingly talented people here. Â I've had the chance to meet many in person and some have become great and good friends. Â Starting with a Kodak Brownie camera when I was about 7 or 8, moving up to Instamatics, Polaroids, then the Pentax K1000 that really got me on the way, I've been looking at the world thru a lens for a long time. Â Got the bug honestly; my dad was a photographer and gave me the gene!! Â Digital changed the world and I jumped in with both feet. Â You would've gone thru 100's of rolls of film in one day the way we can shoot and delete all day long. Â Progess...it can be awesome sometimes.
At any rate, RR rocks, the talent is over the top and I'm just gonna keep on shooting!!
Thanks for looking and keep those cameras rollin'!!
peace.....marilyn

Wondrous capture

The Oregon Coast has a lot of wonderful bridges from the 1930s, all with deco styling, and it's a treat to drive up and down 101 and see them! I'm not sure where this is either, but it's lovely!

Remember, in Oregon, when it rains, it pours! Something made that gully.

Your photos really 'span' the generations!

I guess no swimming for now :) until it rains.... Nice shot of the underside of this bridge. Aloha

Could be SoCal also.

Great perspective, contrast and repetition in this snap of the bridge and environs, Marilyn. I've heard of a bridge over troubled waters; this is a common sight in parched Southern California, but it being in wet Oregon, most ridiculous.

Just in case, I guess. It's easier than going down one side, across, and then up the other side. What a pretty bridge!

Yeah, you could say this is a bridge over troubled waters, only reeeeeallly troubled 'cause the waters skipped town. This is a real Marilyn shot---it's so bold for several reasons: A big beautiful bridge (deco, as tara says), with such strong highlight---you went high key here---to make it really jump off the page; then a wonderful perspective, not only because it goes back so dramatically, but because you got a tilt, as if it's tilting a bit towards the ground; bold, again, for the stark contrasts in whites and shadows (love it); bold, because you cropped it right at the bridge-top, so we're really left with the gaping 'hole' underneath: Ie, you let us plummet down into the abyss by eliminating any "sky" at all. Bold because there's a lotta dark shadow below (in grand contrast with the bridge); and bold because there's no water down there: You created a big buildup to dry land! Terrific work. And I wonder if it dried up or it's just a bridge over a small canyon/gulley, etc. Whatever it is, a very dramatic job capturing it. Bold eye on you, that seeks what it wants and just goes for it...love this shot.
