Monochrome Weekly: A house and its fence

Photobucket

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

    It is irritating when you can't get the shot you want. I think reducing the depth of field to a sliver might have sufficed.

    That's a stately home. I wouldn't hop that fence if I didn't have to. It's lovely and makes its point!

    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.

    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!

    I love the detail in old fences. This is a perfect example of the age of perfection.

    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.

    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.

    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

    It works well as a monochrome and the fence is a good/interesting shot!

    Beautiful house, the detail is very attractive....
    I love to see wrought iron fences like that, I would not like the up keep of painting them though....
