Iron fence and some flags

Chiller · Dec 14, 2005

Had this one kicking around for a while now, but never posted it. A fence from a downtown church, that is just amazing to see. I wish the background was not so cluttered.

Another one from my , "Im not sure what Im gonna do with" folders
I drive by this one every night. I caught this on a night, when the sun was getting ready to set. Im not sure about the crop. I had to eliminate a fence that surrounds the church. oh...not the same fence as above

I cant wait to get out and grab some photos soon.

You're right, the bg is cluttered. But, you did a good job of showing us the detail in the fence :thumbup: and it's awesome! It looks big. How tall is it?

I think I would like the second without the cross? The compo of the flags fading out to the left...I like the emptyness on the right? Just a personal thing I guess

Thanks woodsac. The fence is about 8'(?) high. It surrounds the church, which has a very "gothic" feel to it. I might see if I can dig up the coloured version, and repost it. Just one of those "unsure " feelings I have with these two shots.
Thanks for your comments. I appreciate them.

woodsac has a point with the cross. I would like just the empty space, kind of adds to the evening feel.

Nice juxtapose in the second....and that first is totally goth dude! Prob look cool with some vignetting.

No way, the cross makes the second shot! I really like it. I wouldn't change it at all.

i really like the cross idea at the second shot too....i would do something with it ,tho, cause now it looks a bit 'copy and pasted' for me, but generally i think that its good that its there...
love the first one, youre master of the rhythmes, Chiller!-

Thanks everyone for your comments. I appreciate all of them.
This is another coloured version of the first shot. Im leaning toward the coloured shot, and not the b&w now

This is the same fence a little further down where it meets the church.

thanks again

hey chiller, interesting shot as always...
i agree bout the first being a bit distracting, the b/w conversin is awesome toh
the second, love the light! love the exposure! either ways it would make a great picture... i like it like this too

i prefer the b/w version of #3
and absolutely love the vintage feel in #4, beautiful architecture

thanks for sharing these

So you were on your "vanishing point"-trip when you took these?

I like them both, but must say the greater contrast between the green of the hedge and the fence makes the fence stand out more in the colour version. Therefore I think I am leaning towards that one, too (and not because the hedge is green, though you might think so

).

I am unsure about the white cross in that flag photo.
It is a nice juxtapose, indeed, and I accepted it as that right from the start. But after I read that others think it might be better not to have the cross in the photo, I have tried visualising that and it would be ok, too... Hmph :scratch:

cool stuff Chiller, great eye! Mr. Versatile??

woodsac · Dec 15, 2005

Glad you posted the color version. I agree that the green really helps the fence stand out :thumbup: I think it actually has more character in color? Love the last shot too!

love the goth fence...but the color version does it for me... i just love it, and the black and white of the church.... great shots chiller....:thumbup:

just think of all the scary halloween stuff you would do with that fence...is that really a church, or your back door ????

Thanks all for your comments. I appreciate it.
LaFoto...vanishing point trip?:lmao: I think Im on a trip every day. I have thought about going back an shooting the fence now, that there are no leaves on the trees, and just snow. See how it looks. I do like the green background, cause it brings the fence out more.
The second shot, has driven me nuts. Im thinking of deep sixen that one, and see if I can get a better comp in another shoot.

April..I wish this fence surrounded my house. I have always loved it. Sure would save me some time setting up the fence I use for Halloween now:lmao:
