I have two basic themes this week: Rural Decay and Memories. This week's photo walk was at my Grandparents old place. No one lives in the house now and the barn is going down fast. I wasn't terribly happy with my photos while on the walk. However, upon returning home and seeing them on the computer, I found several that I like and a couple of which I'm actually proud. Of course, this is a learning journey and I discovered several things this week. For one, when using the bracketing with raw images, you have to take a photo for each bracket. That's not the case with the camera set to jpegs. And I had only experimented with bracketing in the jpeg setting. Once I realized what was happening, things went more smoothly. This setting actually produced an image I'm oddly attracted to, shown below. Although it doesn't actually fit in the theme of the week.
I love the blue in the sky. It's a result of exposure at -1 1/3 of the camera's settings. The photo was also originally taken in black and white. The ability to simply change the picture style is one reason why raw rocks!
For the rural decay are photos of the barn and also of the missing swing from the old walnut tree (shown also above).
I have two photos from the Memories theme. Enjoy!
