I was out and about the other day when I ran across a small shop that had some old movie seats and rain barrel outside. I was attracted to the colors and the textures.
After seeing the image on my monitor, I thought about finishing the photo with a painterly quality but then decided to bring out what attracted me to the image—color and texture.Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8 shot at 28mm, ISO 200, f/8 and various 1/90th of a second.
Post Processing:
Lightroom—Set black and white points, cropped photos, and changed and added saturation of certain colors.
Photoshop—used Topaz Adjust to add tonal contrast to enhance detail.
Nice shot Patrick!
ReplyDeleteThe chairs don't look all that comfortable to sit on but they do make interesting photo subjects! :-)
Cheers!

Except for the reflection of the car in the window, you would think this scene is from 50 years ago. Good capture.

I am a little surprised that you did not grab someone walking by and sit them down for some street portraiture! What a perfect place for a group of old men waiting while their wives were shopping inside...though I do agree with Barry that the chairs look as if they might not be that comfortable to sit on.
ReplyDeleteWho cares if you can sit in the chairs. Another waste of pixels.

I have problem with the composition. The chairs point you to the barrel however it is not the subject. The chairs seem to be the subject in my mind. You have this problem with the photo?

You seem to see things that I would not see. What is your mindset when you walk around with your camera? What made you want to take this photo?

The seats to form a line however I do not feel that they are pointing me towards any one thing but rather moving my eye into the frame. My eye moves between the seats, the barrel and the reflection. Colors seem a little too saturated but I think that is your intent.
