Monochrome Weekly: A house and its fence

I like the detail on the fence in front of the house above, although I'm not satisfied with the photograph I took below.

SandyCarlson said...: That's a stately home. I wouldn't hop that fence if I didn't have to. It's lovely and makes its point!; November 1, 2009 at 8:07 AM
Dagrun said...: What a beautiful fence that is! (Imagine being able to make it.); November 1, 2009 at 9:48 AM
Miranda said...: Gorgeous entrance!! I'm so a door person. Nice fence.; November 1, 2009 at 9:50 AM
Mojo said...: So what is it about the fence shot that you weren't happy with? I actually like the varied textures in it quite a lot.; November 1, 2009 at 10:49 AM
Sistertex said...: I agree with Aileni regarding the depth of field. It would take some of the detail out of the background and pop the texture of the fence a little bit more, if that was what you were looking for.

Though it is really a very nice photo as is!; November 1, 2009 at 11:39 AM
James said...: A house and the fence is great. I love the details.; November 1, 2009 at 11:55 AM

Robin said...: Great stately home. I agree with Aileni, I think a shallower depth of field would have highlighted the patterns on the fence a bit better with less distraction from the grass. It's a great subject though, fun to shoot.; November 1, 2009 at 3:11 PM
Lene said...: I just love the fence. And the house, ofcourse :); November 1, 2009 at 4:30 PM
Barbara said...: Great pic, even if you are not satisfied!; November 1, 2009 at 4:38 PM
Carver said...: Thanks to everyone for visiting and commenting. Next time I'll try reducing the depth of field. That's a good idea. I was hoping the rosettes on the fence would stand out more which was part of what I wasn't happy about with the fence shot.; November 1, 2009 at 4:50 PM
Tone said...: Beautiful pictures and house! The door and the fence in very nice.; November 1, 2009 at 5:34 PM

Stephen Chapman said...: Hi

As that you are into photography, I thought that you may be interested in a monthly blog posting that I started in July called "5 on the fifth" where you take 5 random photographs on the fifth of the month and post them to your own blog and then post a comment on MY blog with your name, location and link to your site - I then update my blog entry so the world has your link.

Interested?

Here's a link to my blog
http://thestateofthenationuk.blogspot.com/

and a link to the last "5 on the fifth" entry
