Something Old and Something...Older!

Was out tonight and decided to stop and try these again, but at night. I did them during the day last week and just didnt get the effect that I wanted.

I totally love the coke machine!
these are all great shots!

Nice shots. I also really like #1

thanks guys...#1 would be so much better if some fool wasnt parked next to it, leaving that awful shadow. Perhaps I will try it again when noone is parked next to it. (also, do you see the cool bullet hole in the window pane? LOL)

Very attractive title, I must say first! Well put.

And the first picture is an absolute STUNNER. I really, really, really like that and could imagine this to be a huge poster! Honestly! OK, maybe like this but without the triangle of a shadow, but to tell you the truth: I did not even mind that too much until you drew my attention to it yourself with your most recent comment

Where did your light for all these come from?

LaPhoto, first off, thank you for the comment - it made me feel really good. The lighting was from a street lamp high up on a post for the old buildings and the coke machine one, well it was mostly moonlight.

The coca-cola shot really works for me. It might be a teeensy bit central, but hang the rule of thirds - I love the exposure, tones and range in this one, a very unique feel to the picture. You're coming out with some real winners now - keep em coming!

the coke machine is awsome, i would like to see it in b&w to give it that really old look.

Nice shot... my fav is #2

Thanks again. I did convert the coke one into black and white, but as some others have said and I must agree, that the colored version is much nicer! The tones are actually natural - all i did was add a little bit of contrast and shaprening. I am going back tonight after the rain stops to retake it, because they close early on Sunday, which means there will be no vehicles there to cast a shadow on my materpiece HAHAHAHA.
