12658	Duck Brook Motor Bridge	Image, Photograph, Digital Photograph	Structures, Transportation, Bridge	Soules - George John Soules		2015-11-14			To get this photo, I waited until late fall after the leaves were gone. I parked at the Holiday Inn which was closed for the season and walked across Route 3 to the metal guard rail along the section of road that crosses Duck Brook. Once in the ravine, I located a spot at the edge of the water that I thought had the clearest view of the bridge, and even from there I could only see two of the three arches. The left and right arches each span 89', but in the photo, the left arch is completely obscured by evergreens. I set up a tripod with a Canon 5D Mark III camera and a Canon 24mm tilt/shift lens. With the camera mounted in landscape orientation, I shifted the lens all the way down to capture the lower part of the scene and all the way up to catch the top of the bridge. Because the ravine was deep in shadow while the inner part of the center arch was in full sunlight, I had to take multiple exposures ranging from a half second to 125th second, which is seven full stops, at f/11 with ISO set to 50. Later in Lightroom and Photoshop, I stitched the lower and upper halves and manually blended the exposures. Note also that I focused on the bridge, but also took a shot focused on the large rock in the foreground and blended-in parts of that image to get more depth of field. - George Soules	Duck Brook Motor Bridge Item: 12658    Type: Image, Photograph, Digital Photograph Subject: Structures, Transportation, Bridge Creator: Soules - George John Soules Date: 2015-11-14 State: ME Description: To get this photo, I waited until late fall after the leaves were gone.

13323	Eight images of Duck Brook Motor Bridge under construction	Image, Photograph	Structures, Transportation, Bridge						The photos belonged to my father. He had them at the time of the construction and when the bridge was finished. I do not know who took them. I put them on the computer a long time ago. I believe I scanned them. Some belonged to my sister so I don't have those originals in my possession. -- Therese Klotz Marshall, October 2016	Eight images of Duck Brook Motor Bridge under construction Item: 13323    Type: Image, Photograph Subject: Structures, Transportation, Bridge Source: Courtesy of Therese Klotz Marshall Description: The photos belonged to my father.
