Project 365 2011: ohkphoto

[Carolina Photo Guy]

My first reaction when I saw this was, "Oh my gosh, how pretty." I was going post that when I remembered that some people don't like the word pretty. May I say, "My gosh, how pretty - in a good way."

I'd say that you made a great turn of phrase!

Besides, it DO look purty!

"Gateway"

At first glance I thought "what a nice shot". At multiple glances, my thinking is "what a GREAT shot Helene".

Helene, Great shot. I love the gates to the house; it is like something you would see in the secret garden. Love the sharpness and how much you have captured the whole setting. I love it.

"Gateway"

Wow. Beautiful! I love this!
The tones in the rocks are great, it has a dreamy look to it.

"Inside Looking Out"

Glad to see you send out an HDR at times. Pretty cool perspective!

 

[ohkphoto]

Yesterday's photo was also HDR. Could you tell?

Thanks for the comment, Chris!

 

[Vermontster]

Yesterday's photo was also HDR. Could you tell?

I thought it was, but the shot/composition kept my attention on the subject and not thoughts of processing. Some of my HDR shots are good, but the viewer immediately notices "enhancement". Your "Gate" shot didn't do that to me.

 

[KWJams]

Great perspective on the gate!

 

[jengajoh]

I love it Helene. Great colors and composition, as always. ... was it raining?

 

[ohkphoto]

was it raining?

Sadly, no. BUT . . . there are at least some clouds.

Thank you, Jen, Christine, Ken and Chris, for your comments.

You get the feel of the the abandonment in your photo. That's what makes your shots so good.

"My New Toy"

I have always wanted a medium format camera. Pre-digital years, they were too expensive. Now, they're affordable. And, yes, it's film. I just finished shooting a couple rolls of 120 and getting ready to mail them off. I will never give up digital, but sometimes, the feel and pace of film is really rewarding. The camera is totally manual -- not a battery anywhere, so I really have to focus on the settings. A good refresher!

How very very sweet. Lovely touching shot Helene. You captured the mood so so well. I LOVE IT!

 

[jengajoh]

Oh my gosh! That little girl and her puppy are adorable!
Where are you sending your 120 film? I have some 620 film, and don't really know a good place to send it.

 

[Browncoat]

Very adorable photo, Helene!

And kudos for going back to film. I've been entertaining that very idea myself.
