I'm out in Denver, CO for training for the next couple of days and plan on getting out every evening to shoot. Here's something from yesterday. I love this type of subject, but I'm always at odds with how I should shoot it. Any thoughts for improvement?
angles....different perspectives/angles.....depth of field.....long shutter speeds....change it up....shoot alot! fill a card.
ReplyDeletesee what you like.
then duplicate it.
there's a farmhouse with an outbuilding that i pass on the way to my parent's house in vt. i've been watching it collapse slowly for years and last weekend i went up there and it was totally down.
ReplyDeletei like the activity/decay feelings so close together.
Colorado has some crazy weather--see if you can catch dramatic lighting like when a storm is overhead but the sun is streaming in from the side (or vice versa)... Lighting can really crank up a shot like this, especially if it picks out some part of the shot.
ReplyDeleteYou've got the vibrant colors which are nice but really I feel like I've seen this image before. Your ambivalence shows. But yeah what Bruce said, change it up, and what Alex said, lighting is key. But if you don't have the patience to wait around at least try getting close or further away, try different focal lengths if you've got them, get low, get high whatever, move around. It looks like you stood there and just shot it, move around, change your perspective.
