Album cover photographs / Hello from Vermont!

[LMNOP]

Hey Apug!

I have been reading for a while, now posting. I'm an film-enthusiast/musician from Vermont, I shoot nature, people, and anything else along the way. Having a large library of film photographs is certainly useful when putting together music releases, or having good band pictures.
I recently released a new album, and I thought I'd share the image that was used for the album cover. None of my friends or listeners seem to appreciate this type of detail, but I love sharing photos and the process by which they were captured. This greenhouse is on a college campus in Burlington, Vermont. I used to wait around here a lot to catch a bus to Massachusetts to visit my girlfriend, usually not an exciting time.

The image was captured handheld, using my trusty Mamiya 645AF with Fujifilm 400H Pro - I believe it was the 3rd roll I ever ran through this beast. 80mm 2.8 shot wide open, I believe 1/30th - not bad for a lack of tripod.



This image later became the cover for the new 'A-C-K' EP - byPatrick McCormack (me)


If you're interested, the EP is free, follow this link. I'd love to hear feedback on the image/music! Anyone have an image they took that became an album cover? I love seeing film used for records. Thanks for looking!

I love Vermont maple syrup. Howdy, and welcome! I'm from California! Great work, that is an awesome experience, thank you for sharing it!
I can't answer any question, but many folks here, are very wise, and always helpful!

I also used a film photograph for an album cover recently:

I did three or four album covers many years ago but the latest one was a goosed-up digital abomination. Those images are gone now along with nearly all the others.

Welcome! Overall I like the concept of your greenhouse photo in terms of lighting and such but gotta say that dumpster right smack dab there in front is a bit too prominent and ugly for me. Perhaps a different side or angle next time?

Not a dumpster, but a power supply of some kind, electrical equipment for powering the green house. If I chose any other angle, it would look entirely different, only the front lights up like that .

Don't you hate when the people who design buildings like this just don't think about how they'll look? Just because it's a functional place doesn't mean it has to look like one. Nice shot and well-handled light!
