About	This bridge often appears in my photos. I include this one to show where the "homeless" man in the previous photo lives, and to prove that we DO occasionally get water flowing under it. It's actually more a flood plain than a river. But you should see it when we have a Typhoon--full of churning water bank to bank. Awesome! Not good for the homeless man, I'm afraid. I used noise reduction on the sky, only having 400 ISO film in the camera and noticing some ugly grain there. Oh yes, I forgot to say that the construction work strengthening the banks against the next flood is now over, and the bridge is back to its normal uncluttered self.

A well composed image. A suggestion....try using the dust and scratch filter to reduce noise instead of the noise filter..it works much better on large solid color areas.

Lea, thanks for the suggestion. There was actually quite a bit of dust on the film that my scan picked up, too. Is this filter a standard part of PhotoShop? I haven't come across it yet, having recently moved from PaintShop Pro, which I keep hankering after (the tool you know always seems better...).

Roger, in my version of PS (I use Elements) the dust and scratch is under filters>noise. It will create too much blur if used on the entire image, but on large solid colored areas, it works great!

Thanks, Lea. I found it in my old (V.6) version of PS. I see what you mean about it blurring details, though. Nice for skies if I can select all of the sky and ONLY the sky... I must get down to studying PS.

Beautiful lines in the picture. Great picture but an awful place to have to live.
