On with Photography

Published on January 28, 2009 in photography and Raleigh. 7 Comments

I haven’t made a new blog post since JULY.  I’m a total slacker.   It’s a combination of being a total slacker and not really making any time for thoughts on new topics and the like.  Something that I do spend a lot of time on these days is photography.  I do it a lot, I think about it a lot.  So potentially more posts coming that are photography related.

I wanted to write a bit about this image for one main reason.  It’s completely out of my comfort zone for photography.  Ninety-Five percent of everything I shoot is some object, in close and tight, or a “portrait”.  This is kind of landscape, kind of still-life.  Regardless, VERY happy with the shot.  I really struggle with “complex” backgrounds and finding a way to make the photo have focus.  The chairs are kind of cheating, but it worked.  Very pleased.

Post was limited to conversion to grayscale and some mild tinting of the image for a more old-timey look.  The shot was taken when I went out for a walk one morning and found these chairs in the back yard of a house on Oberlin Rd in Raleigh.  Good sunlight out helps with shadows.
