Greetings D-Grinners!
I recently got an assignment from the local Lions Club to take some pictures of the older, more historic buildings of the towns around here. These are the finished products to be printed (4x6 or 5x7 only, unfortunately) and framed as a gift to a local teacher who'll be leaving the area. While I'm not overly thrilled with the Tramp House Photograph (I think I got better shots, but the customer gets what the customer wants!) I like how the sunset lit up the woodwork, and although the Church in the background is awkwardly keystoned, it's what made them choose the photograph! And funnily enough, when I went to take the second photograph, I didn't expect to get anything usable. It wasn't exactly overcast, but lighting conditions weren't great. The lesson to be learned, is that with a good exposure and
Tramp House, Norfolk MA
For those wondering about the name, it was built in 1886 (there are older buildings in the town) and was a nightly lockup for wandering tramps passing through town.
Gazebo, Wrentham MA
According to the plaques it was built in the late 1800's, and restored later. I'm fond of this one, feel free to click it and check it out in a higher resolution.
Comments, questions, etc... they're all always welcome

I think it looks better with reds, yellows and oranges personally
I really didn't like my shots when I was walking back to my car. I expected to have to go back in better light, but after processing it I definitely prefer it to the photo of the house!
