A Day at the Farm

Lonely shack.

View through the doors to the outside.

An old Singer sewing machine.

This part of the building was pretty dangerous, as you can tell. The person in the picture is Melissa (User: Findinghecate).

An extremely rusty wheel.

"Oops". The results of an airsofting match.

I called this one "Glitter" for good reason. The glass reflected the sun beautifully on the door.

All photos are taken with a Nikon E6700. No real technical information can be given... It's just a pretty simple PaS camera. I used to have a Canon A520, and I was totally addicted to manual focus and manual shutter speeds and everything, but that is long gone... Stolen by a crackhead in Springfield, MA.

Take off every 'Sig'. For great justice.

Most of these don't do anything for me. #1 and #7 have some definite potential as subjects though.

#1 One thing I like composition-wise is that the house is off to the side like that. Having the horizon across the center of the frame like this is pretty much always a flop, 1/3-1/4 of the way from the top or the bottom is generally where it should be. The thick and vast field of weeds add a lot to the subject, and so does the sky, but you need to decide which one is of primary interest and which is secondary. Also try different angles and different times of day if you can; the sun is killing a lot of the detail. Finally, the three tallest stalks on the left, one of them cut off at the edge of the frame, are a terrible distraction.

#7 What I like about this composition is the thin strips of shadow and light in the background. Again you have a distracting object cut off at the edge of the frame, this time down at the bottom.

I would emphasize that and the depth of the green objects and cut out all the other stuff. There is also a ton of wasted space. For example, I would like to see something tighter like this.



And because you are emphasizing depth, I think a subject like this would work much better in portrait, not landscape.

Well, there was a lot more detail, but I specifically edited it to be how it is. Sort of a lonely and featureless type-look I was going for I guess.

Ah ha... maybe black and white would help bring that out more.
