Landrum Kelly 64 Posted August 28, 2011 I posted this earlier as a black and white version, but it was flawed. Comments welcome.--Lannie Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted August 30, 2011 I wish the car hadn't been in the shot, but you have to make do, sometimes. I'd consider doing some closer shots with a house like that, as I think the appeal is in the peeling paint that would give an abstract effect when shot as a close-up. I'd also do individual windows and "pieces" of the building, including the brick at the bottom. Link to comment
Landrum Kelly 64 Posted August 31, 2011 Thanks, Kim. I know you're right. I went down this street to shoot a big grain silo, saw the house, and shot it from across the parking lot and street. At the time I didn't feel that it was worth the time or trouble to ask the owners to let me shoot it from a lot of angles, but maybe I should have--and perhaps I should have asked them to move the truck as well. (The vehicle works better on a monochrome shot, I think.)--Lannie Link to comment
twig1 0 Posted September 4, 2011 Lannie: I love this type of photo. Peeling paint on a old house adds so much character. The only way you could improve this photo, IMHO is get the owner to move the car. How have you been? Tom Link to comment

pnital 36 Posted May 21, 2012 Beautiful old house. I like the way you have composed it. The car IMO adds modernism and juxtaposing another time era.... Link to comment
