I really like today’s challenge picture. It’s so far out of my normal box that most of my photography fits in. I’ve always been great fans of the likes of Duane Michals and want to do more photography in his style now that I’m retired… well, sort of.
While I was out today railfanning I was wandering around the side and back streets of Hopkinsville, Ky looking for different vantage points to shoot from when I drove past this old store that was for rent. Judging from the windows and door I’m not too sure I’d been looking to rent it.
I really love the look, shape and design of the building so I pulled in and shot a few photos with my iPhone.
Later as I was setting next to the railroad tracks on the other side of town I decided to select and process today’s challenge picture and what you see here was done entirely on the iPhone 5s.
I opened the picture and did all the adjustments and border in the Snapseed App. I’m still amazed at what I’m able to do on a iPhone when it comes to photography. While it has it’s limits, if you learn them and know what they are you can still come away with a fine creation.
Now, with this said… I do plan to go back and shoot this with my Nikon D800 so I will have a better quality file. I think this shot may sell well on a couple of my sales sites.
