Architecture

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to frame shots that are really high up and contain a lot of detail. My camera is still outfitted with its stock lens, so shooting is really limited right now. This is a decent shot, but I would have loved to have been able to zoom in on just one column. I really played with the contrast and saturation settings in Photoshop to bring out the differences in shadowing. I'd give it a B.

Photo specs:
-Focal length: 55mm
-ISO: 400
-Shutter speed: 1/160 s
-Aperture: f/5.6

Now for this shot I just rotated my body to left and down. The combination of my towering 5'2" and the lamp's long chain made getting close easier. I love the contrast of the black lamp against the tan stone and the details in the stone's coloring. I was much more pleased with this shot than the one before. .

About Me

Photography by {michelle|kay}
I'm new to photography and Photoshop, but I'm totally in love. Yeah, yeah, I love my husband and all, but my Canon and CS4--wow! Who knew that shooting photos could be so exciting. I love finding that perfect shot and find myself framing things in my mind wherever I go. My inspiration: Psalm 19:1 "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."
