I am continuing to photograph covered bridges in my region, and
yesterday visited the Link Farm Covered Bridge (1912) in Giles County,
Virginia. If any of you have seen Dirty Dancing, that film was set at a
Catskills resort in upper New York state, but the film actually used two
resorts in the southeast for the shooting. One was Mountain Lake Hotel
in Giles County, Virginia, and the Link Farm bridge is just off of
Mountain Lake Road. Larry Colen kindly suggested some things that I can
do to improve my photographs, including bracketing images and using
histograms to avoid clipping. I experimented with that at home, and
tried to use it in the field for this bridge but somehow got to the
wrong setting and overexposed all of the images. I was running late and
did not review the histograms in the field. That was a big mistake as
all were badly clipped at the high end because of my error. I have
posted the best of them, using post to correct somewhat for the
overexposure.

I have created a new page just for my covered bridge photos, as I expect
to be taking many more, and revisiting some bridges in better weather:

and have also redone the post for my earlier photo of Sinking Creek
Covered Bridge (1916) which originally was too garish:
