Melanie Anderson viewing the famous Foresthill Bridge, Auburn State Recreation Area, Auburn, California
A few years ago, I taught an Adult Education class "How to Capture Great Travel and Adventure Photos - Right in Your Own Backyard," at Placer High School in Auburn.
I took this photo of one of my students, Melanie Anderson, viewing the
Foresthill Bridge, during the photo workshop portion of our class. We spent 3 hours photographing at the Confluence of the North and Middle Forks of the American River.Â

Digital Art of American River Rocks, ASRA, Auburn, California
Here is another version of the
river rocks photo in my last post. It's been awhile since I experimented with the artistic filters in PhotoShop. I thought this rock shot would be a good one to play around with.
Which one do you like best? I'd love to hear your comments, positive and negative.

Middle Fork of the American River, Auburn State Recreation Area, Auburn, California
The American River is not literally my backyard, but it's only minutes away. Within 15-20 minutes, I can be in a number of photographic hot spots this good, or better!
This shot was taken during our hike on the
Quarry Road Trail.

Middle Fork of the American River, Auburn, CA
This photo was taken on the same day the
waterfall photo was taken. We were hiking on the right side of the river on the Western States Trail in El Dorado County. Had we been hiking on the other side of the river, we would have been hiking in Placer County.Â
