Excellent subject found now...

[Shakey]

Hey all. The other day I found this warehouse and it has some great colors and patterns in the wood.

Now this isn't a great shot by any means but I mean to go back and kill a cf memory card on on .

But do you guys have any tips that might help with this subject matter.


Here is the link to it http://members.shaw.ca/emailtotim/Ribtor.jpg

And in a few minutes I will show you a shot depicting the whole warehouse.

I will have to use an attachment since my Web site is to full.

Ok here is an off set showing the front my idea is to take sectional pictures.

If you have any ideas please share .
Remember I am a greenhorn so what might be obvious to you is not to me.

That's cool. You can still attach the photo so we can see it if you want. That's the first option in these instructions. (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=92)

What I'm learning more every day is the critical importance of lightning. If the interesting stuff is hidden in the shadows the shot might not work. If you like the patchwork assembly and the colors, is there a way to light and frame the shot to really bring out those features? Sorry, I'm not good enough to answer that question, just ask it! :D

I love looking at good photos of these old relics of buildings - but I find that taking them is truly an art - Your comments about light are so accurate - The best pictures are always about the light and not the subject - this is so hard for me to rememeber when I am shooting pictures tho.....

:nod That's when I begin to appreciate the planning that goes into a good shot. The shooter doesn't happen upon the scene... many times, they wait for the right moment to take the shot, having already figured out what it will take for the visual to work.

And I guess that's why they call it "making a picture" rather than "taking a picture" - they don't just grab something that's there, they actively contribute to making the moment happen.
