The Mississippi River Bridges at Vicksburg...in sepia.

iPhone photos

Wanted to see how well my new iPhone handled photos. Here are two sunsets at the Mississippi River Bridges in Vicksburg.

And for the one or two people who have wondered why I haven't been posting in a while, well, I'll be starting again soon. I promise.

Sunset at the bridges

To carry on with the theme from yesterday, this is the sunset of June 1. It shows the first photo I took and follows the progression of the sunset. A film crew from Dollarhide Film Inc. from the Jackson area was at the overlook filming this sunset for use in videos for the Vicksburg Convention and Visitors Bureau. They hit the jackpot on this day. I enjoyed watching the folks do the video recording. It was neat to see them set up for each shot and observe the angles from which they shot. I can't wait to see the finished products. They were in town for a couple of days at the end of May filming from a helicopter. That had to have been a neat experience. I'd like to try it myself. Anybody got a helicopter?

OK, I admit it. I'm a River Bridges/Sunset-lovin' junkie. There! I said it. Out loud. And I am not afraid to confess! I can't help myself. It's one of the most beautiful sights I can imagine and hate to miss a single one. These two were taken on two nights last week. I have been experimenting with the couple of trees that can be used in the photos, placing them in the foreground.  And can you tell me which pictures were taken on one day and the others on another? Just look at the flag! It's billowing in two different directions!
