Two thoughts, Larry: First, the light is tough. Neither full sun nor shade really help that sort of subject. Second, the trailer has spots of decrepitude, but most of it looks okay. One might do better with a close-up of that window, or the broken tail light, to put across the idea. Cheers, Rick http://photo.net/photos/RickW

It may be older than I, was probably quite the item when new, but now seems even more decrepit than I. In other words, a photo opportunity that I couldn't resist. There is something that I find strangely compelling about photographing things that have decayed from their past glory. Now that I've had a chance to look at the photos, I'm a bit disappointed. I got a few nice ones, but none as nice as they looked through the viewfinder. So, I'm actively soliciting feedback on what I should have done. Six photos, two of the trailer, four detail shots. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157628213959037/ or http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157628213959037/ As an aside, due to a complete brainfart, the first photo I took was, according to the camera, five stops underexposed at ISO 80. I hit auto tone on the nearly black image in lightroom, and a surprisingly clean photo appeared. Artistically, it was dreck, but for a photo shot at 1/4000 sec rather than 1/60, it was very sharp and noise free dreck. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
