I spend a lot of time thinking about photography and very little time actually taking photos. Often while driving I see an old barn or a stately oak tree and I think about taking a picture. But I rarely get around to it.
Recently I decided to take some of those photos I had been thinking about. Here is one of a dead tree that looks like an old woman with her hand on her hip.
There is an old house I pass by often. I had hoped to photograph it when an oak tree behind it was in full fall color, but it didn't happen. So I used an HDR program to give it a "painterly" effect.
A small town nearby suffers from a plague otherwise known as "road construction." Its citizens decided to make light of their plight with signs featuring those darned orange barrels.
Many times I drove past this old house and wondered how best to photograph it.
Honey Bunny convinced me that it looks better in black and white.

I spend a lot of time thinking about writing. Actually writing? Not so much.
ReplyDeleteI like it better in color. It has more emotional punch. (And believe me, it carries a punch.)
I had deleted the color one, I'll put it back now!
ReplyDeleteOriginally, in the red paint, was the word "Weed." Thanks to Photoshop that was quickly eliminated.
ReplyDeleteI like the color one best too. All are great pictures Liz! The tree does look like a woman!
