Thanks Pat. I definitely had a different shot in mind but there were cars parked in front of the building and I could only get this angle.
I might come back on a public holiday when there are less cars and I can get the intended shot.

Day 65 (6/03/2013)

Monochrome March - Day 6

I have two images for today. Both of them have some issues I feel, but I also like elements from both of them. I would be interested to hear which one people prefer.

RIP :(
I like both.
#1 looks like it could be from the 50s until you see the modern signs and then you see the cranes in the background
#2 Funny way the guy on the left is staring at the girl on the phone.

Monochrome March - Day 7

I went to lunch with a mate today and thought the dining area would make a really interesting photo. I particularly liked the lights and the exposed brickwork on the walls.

Here's another shot of the rail yard. I couldn't get closer, due to a very high fence and several security cameras 'observing' me. Otherwise I would have liked to work the shot a bit more.

Monochrome March - Day 10

It was my youngest son, Alex's 2nd Birthday. We were down at the beach for the long weekend so he didn't get his party (that's next weekend). At least we all got to eat cake... priorities!

Day 70 (11/03/2013)


Monochrome March - Day 11


Whilst out and about the previous day with the family, I came across this house and knew I wanted to capture it. I just loved how it was mostly in the shadow of the surrounding trees, yet highlighted on one side. So I took the boys for a drive today to see if I could capture what I saw the previous day. When I arrived though, the lighting wasn't what I remembered.

I will have to pay more attention to the time of day next time and try again.

I was looking at the last photo at home and my eyes were constantly drawn to the blown out highlights in the sky. I wanted to see if I could tone the sky down somewhat and see if it works better. Interested to hear feedback on which people prefer.

That's a little better. The problem is that my eye still goes to the sky, then I notice the house. I think that is because of the dark trees that flank the sky portion. The clouds in the sky are actually quite interesting. What about cropping it a bit to get rid of some of the sky, or keep the sky and get rid of some of the stuff in the front.

I realize you probably wanted a vertical shot, but here is what I came up with by cutting down some of the sky and a whole bunch of the foreground. Sorry that I cropped off your water mark on the lower right.

I hope you don't mind that I cropped it a little. BTW, I love the contrast and detail in the photo, and of course, I am very partial to B&W.

Thanks Barbara, feel free to re-work my photos anytime. I think the crop definitely helps to identify the subject of the photo being the house.

I guess in my original composition I was trying to convey a sense that the house is being engulfed by the forest.
