I have shot these buildings before and find they lend themselves to black and white processing. I really like the texture of this shed and the angles. Kit: Nikon18-200mm Lens on Nikon D5100 For the images below I wanted to incorporate the the lines of the fence leading back to the buildings. I am not sure I got the best perspective but I like what I got. I like the fire hydrant in the scene of the old rustic buildings, I had it in a past post as well. In years past I would have tried to avoid the hydrant to give the illusion of a farm from before modern times. Now I like the juxtaposition and not keeping modern human elements out of the nature they are also apart of. Originally I didn't like the composition of this last image. I thought the fence was crowding the bottom of the frame and I should of gotten the shot from a higher angle. I did like the tones and the composition of the elements in the back of the frame. The more I looked at it the more I liked the imag

I kept my word and I am posting a Black & White image. Conveniently I recently Tone Fuentes  YouTube channel where he has an Edit Like series and he showed how to make a couple Ilford simulation presets. Kit: Nikon18-200mm Lens on Nikon D5100 Like many of this analog presets they add grain to the image. I am not sure how much I like this in my images. The main reason might be because my my "old" Nikon D5100 isn't as sharp as the new cameras. I am also not convinced I want to go that fare faking the film look. His presets did give me a good starting point to my B & W conversion and sometimes that is the hardest part.

Another day another walk with the dogs. I actually forgot to post these photo that I took back in February. Kit: Nikon18-200mm Lens on Nikon D5100 I like the juxtaposition of the old fence and shed and the fire hydrant, saftey first. The price of progress... I hate seeing large houses being built in older neightborhoods with nice "small" houses. That being said, I also don't like seeing old neghborhoods falling by the wayside for new neighborhoods that they had to cut down more trees to build.
