Library - Face

The end of my VT journey with my GF two weeks ago landed us in a small town to visit a friend on the way home. I had a half hour before we were to meet and I saw this amazing library and just had to shoot it, just love these old places, I'm thinking of shooting gas stations and libraries as I don't think they will exist much longer... one might be good, the other, sad.

Very nice; my kind of photo. Lots of textural details. I would have isolated the lamp, its shadow, and mabe the bottoms of the letters. That with the texture of the door is enough - for me. Good shot.

I actually agree, however I was shooting with a Mamiya and not a LF and the longest lens I own is the 180mm, in order to get that close I would have been at a very steep angle, and I couldn't correct any of that without a LF camera and even then it probably would look odd at that sever upward angle, so I walked back as far as I could to make it look sort of normal, I still wish it could have been straight on... Alas :smile:But you're right isolating that would have been nice. Feel free to send me a 500mm Mamiya lens any day and I'll get that picture right :wink:
