The other night when I was
searching my images for the red fabric
image that I wanted to show
you for the previous post, I came across a red barn that I shot in
the spring of 2008.
I had been waiting for a day that the light was
hitting it from a good angle. I also wanted to have some sharpness
and color in the foreground so I was shooting wide angle with a small
aperture. I started noodling around with it last night trying to get
a look that I was happy with. I was taking the image back and forth
between Lightroom and Photoshop, trying to develop a unique image. I
had made a couple of copy layers and blended them and desaturated
everything except the barn and small tree. Then bla bla bla and then
bla bla bla I was getting close but had not arrived at the place I
wanted to be. I am not real keen on one shot methods to get to a
finished picture. I often take a lot of twists, turns and detours to
get where I'm going with an image. And very often I keep several
(work in progress) variations that I like. My dad said I always took
the hard way...but that was mostly in mathematics and I always seemed
to have the wrong variations in that area. Finally as I drove around
the block for the umpteenth time looking for somewhere to park my
image I spotted a little place that looked great Time to stop here!
I am still(a kid).
