I grew up close to the Covered Bridges of Madison County near Des Moines, Iowa. Growing up I really didn’t appreciate them till after I’ve been away for quite a few years. Anyway, back in Iowa over Thanksgiving, we traveled to see the Bridges of Madison County.

These are perfect for using HDR photography. The image directly below is of the Holliwell Covered Bridge, and was made by combining 9 individual shots using exposure bracketing. This bridge was built in 1880 and is the longest covered bridge in Madison County coming in at 122 feet. The Holliwell bridge was featured in the movie Bridges of Madison County. It was renovated in 1995 at a cost of $225,000. Enjoy!

This next image below is another HDR image, but this one is just using 5 images. The name of this one is the Hogback Covered Bridge and was built in 1884. The length is 97 feet and it was renovated in 1992 for $118,810.

This last one for today is a 5-image HDR taken inside the Hogback Covered Bridge. I really liked how the holes is the right side of the bridge shined light like a laser on the bridge floor and left side of the covered bridge. This light really wasn’t noticeable much when I took the shots. What do you think?
