To make a change away from all the festival photos that we’ve
been showing I thought I would upload a photo that I took a while ago. This one
is from one of our holidays away together, when we had gone for one of short
wanders.
We had walked down a country road for a short while when we
past a small farm yard. The land owner saw us walking along the road with our
cameras and we got talking, after a while he let us take some photos around his
yard. When I saw this old cow shed, the composition was perfect so I had to
take a photo. I thought it would look interesting if I took it in sepia. To
improve the composition I used a small aperture (F11), by doing this it means
that the whole scene is in focus. I also underexposed the photo to introduce a moodier
atmosphere.
While editing the photo I decided leave the photo exactly as
it was. I think the photo came out just right. The composition is exactly how I
wanted it and the sepia effect suites the scene perfectly.
I haven’t uploaded any black and white/sepia photos for a
while. The next time I’m out I think I shall sneak in some black and white
photos. I really love the effect of black and white photography, and I shall do
some more when I next get a chance.
