Tallest Bridge in California

by Sherri on January 22, 2010

Foresthill-Bridge-6

This photo of the Foresthill Bridge in Auburn, CA was taken last month, during our Big Sierra Snowstorm. This bridge crosses the American River and connects Auburn to the tiny town of Foresthill.

One of the most popular searches on this Photo Blog is for the Foresthill Bridge (also known as the Auburn-Foresthill Bridge). I can understand why. Not only is it the tallest bridge in California, but it’s the 3rd tallest bridge of it’s kind in the United States.

This bridge was featured in the movie XXX and has become quite the base jumping spot. To see more of our images of this famous bridge, visit our Auburn Stock Photo Gallery, or you can do a search for the Foresthill Bridge on this Blog.

We will be adding more images of this Auburn Icon to our Website in the near future, so be sure to check back often.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Fall Hike Along the American River

by Sherri on November 6, 2009

Sherri-&-Cocoa-3

Sherri & Cocoa hiking along the North Fork of the American River, Auburn, California. This image was developed using both Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 & Adobe Photoshop CS3.

It’s been a couple of weeks since we took this hike. The color down in the canyon was looking pretty good then. This weekend, we are returning to a different location along the American River for more Fall photos. I’m really looking forward to getting out again. I’ve been tethered to my computer too long in one stretch.

I should have some new Fall nature images up next week for you all to see.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Foresthill-Bridge-5

The famous Foresthill Bridge, Auburn, California. It was processed using a combination of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 and Adobe Photoshop CS3.

What: The famous Foresthill Bridge.

Where: North Fork of the American River, Auburn, California.

When: A couple of weeks ago.

Who: Jeff, our dog Cocoa & I were taking a Fall hike.

How: The Foresthill Bridge was reflecting in a mud puddle. I thought that was pretty cool. So I took a series of photos of the mud puddle. This was one of my favorites.

Then, in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, I rotated the photo so it was upside down and now you see the bridge right side up in the mud puddle.

Did anyone guess how this image was captured, before I revealed the answer?
