Found this just recently, not a great pic at all. Bridge I did in 1992 that's across Bayou Lafourche near Thibadoux. It's on a turntable about 1/3 of the way across. It pivots to let shrimp boats and such come up before a Hurricane. Still there as far as I know. At the time the alloy used was special order, now it's below minimum strength produced nowdays just 30 years later. Each rung of that ladder is a 1' apart so about 7' foot or so deep total. I got a plaque somewhere from the contractor that it actually fit and was counterbalanced correcly.

Well I can see why Foler didn't like that picture, it's way too white for him.

Maybe try cranking up the iso for faster shutter speed…………………….

Any other old bastards start out with a digital camera in the late 90s? I think mine came out in 97, this guy:
Could only store just over a dozen pics in its 2MB memory lol. Here's one I took of Columbia River. Hey the tech had to start somewhere:

Chaparrosa ranch in 1996. Middle of 100 year drought, even the lake on the TX/LA border was down to a ditch. Chaparrosa was shipping their cattle off left and right before they died..
Pic taken with cheap disposable camera I had in the truck. It rained 3 drops on me that day which was very usual.

I started out with this badboy:
It was okay in general, but it was incredible at macro pictures. Amazing, in fact. My son still uses it for shits and giggles.
Is that second picture of yours the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan? I camped a couple years ago at a spot that had almost this view. It's an awesome place. And that bridge is rough to go over on a motorcycle. Especially when there is wind. They actually have a paid service of people who work there who will drive your bike over for you.

In college had a sony digital camera as part of my study. It took a 3.5" floppy disc to store pics on. Cutting edge.
Reason most of my pics I've posted from that time are film pics that I either scanned or took a pic of with my cell phone. By the time you take a pic with a questionabgle cheap film camera and then scan it or take a pic of it things go away.
4 canyons ranch house near Uvalde Texas. Owned by some level of a judge in TX. Never figured out how a judge could afford a 5,000 acre ranch in a not so cheap area to live. I asked him once, onece.

Sometimes you just need a real camera, cell phones don't cut it. I'd love to have a good quality version of this one but the moment is gone.
