I wish that I would have had better weather and lighting conditions when I took this photo. We had great lighting the day before, but unfortunately it was a little overcast the day that I returned to take my pictures. I think that it would have been so beautiful if I would have had a warm afternoon sun setting on the building.
Thanks for your comment Kathy. I really like the tones and textures too! I added a warm tone with my photo program before posting it, but it sure doesn't make it as nice as the natural sunlight would have. You know that I probably could use a better photo program though. :-) I think that I'm going to get a new lense for my camera first and then maybe upgrade to a better photo shop program like what you and Susie have. Anyway, thanks for your comments! I love the help!
Thanks for you comment Mirek. Is is the lighting that makes it so flat? Would the warm sun add the shadows needed to give the picture more depth? I liked the colors and layers of the building, the brick wall and the flowers, but I wasn't sure why it looked so flat. Thanks for your help, it's always appreciated.
I like the angle that you used here, Sheila. It is a bit flat, but the building itself has such great tones and textures. I wonder if applying a warm filter would help. Just a thought. Kathy
You are absolutely right. This flat overcast lighting is good for B&W, but doesn't look too flattering in color. Good depth of field control, but the shot itself a bit boring. I am sure a strong golden hour lighting would make a lot of difference
