A photo I found while looking through my 2009 photographs and preparing to move my processing over to lightroom. This is a shot I wasn’t sure I really liked but I have held onto it this long and I decided I would go ahead and post it as there is something about it I really do enjoy.

  1. I like the angle of the roof and those great blue barrels (which I wish your logo was not covering by the way) and the general great feel to the shot plus the nice shadows…

  2. Thanks Sonja… I am still getting used to LR (beta 3) and I haven’t quite figured out all the watermarking bells and whistles yet. But that is definitely good feedback.

  3. I like this one as well – and completely agree with Sonja’s remark re the watermarking – good luck with sorting that out such that it doesn’t cover the grand bits of your image.


    Seen on your photo stream. (?)

  23. this is so interesting – this looks so much like my late uncle’s shed (another Golden!!) his has since fallen but same shapes and colours as this and it evokes exploring it as a child and finding all sorts of tools, scraps of metal, beachwood that he had collected…. thanks for dreging up nice warm memories!!!
