    Do like images 2 - 4 but the 2nd is my fav. Love the sunlight, with dust floating in the air. Even though theres a couple of 'hot spots' coming through both windows & floor, but nothing that cant be tweeked in ps. I do like it thumb.gif

    Nice job, Daniel! I really love #2 and #4. I know you like your black and white extra-contrasty, but I think you are losing some shadow detail. Can't wait to see the other 596 shots! (Excellent location! - my Dad was born and raised in a similar place in Arkansas). thumb.gif

    Neat
    I like the dusty window light streaming inside old musty building shot the best, but maybe you can work on the "hot" spots???

    Gee, last I heard you were in hot water with your school, and now you went to Arkansas? You get around for a "kid.":): :): :):

    Im Curious
    Danial - have to agree with most here, #2 and #4 are the best of these four. But, I have to say, none of them are slouches:): - very nice.

    Question - The dust in #2, did you kick that up for the photo or was that naturally occuring. Doesn't matter to me. The photo is still excellent and the dust in the air give the image the appropriate deserted look. I was just curious because the other photos look so calm.

    Hi there Daniel......... my favourite is the car, I dunno why but Old Cars in fields or paddocks just do it for me :D

    I had the pleasure of seeing some old building in USA last year, and to this day I am still kicking myself as to why I didnt take my Sony to do IR Shots.

    This trip in May Im bringing it thumb.gif

    Nice series. #2 (so far) is my favorite. The dust and sunlight work well. My
    only comment is wider. You need to shoot WA.
