When I went to Quebec in February, I scouted out quite a few covered bridges. Not all of them were exactly picturesque at the time of year I visited, but they all had great potential for various seasons and weather conditions. We only visited two of the five I mention here during the CAPTURE Quebec workshop, but I thought I would share their locations with anyone who might happen to be traveling through the area with a camera in better weather than when I passed through. This Google Map shows where all of them are located exactly and what I liked about each one of them.
I am considering putting together maps like this for the many amazing places that I have had the opportunity to travel to currently and over the past few years. I do a ton of location research for my photography excursions and feel I really should be sharing the results of my research with other photographers. The maps would be specifically geared toward helping photographers know what photo ops are in the vicinity wherever they may be traveling. For myself, even on family vacations, I simply wish I had a source to go to to get a photographer’s perspective on specific spots to stop “along the way”. Would anyone else out there find maps like this to be helpful? Is there any more info I should include then what I have already included in the Covered Bridges of CAPTURE Quebec map? For a test run, here are the five bridges that are listed on the map:
Eustis Covered Bridge
Eustis, Quebec, Canada
Milby Covered Bridge
Milby, Quebec, Canada
Mont Orford Covered Bridge
Mont Orford, Quebec, Canada
Narrows Covered Bridge
Stanstead, Quebec, Canada
Drouin Covered Bridge
Waterville, Quebec, Canada

Good idea!!!
