Description

Taken through the window of a condemned house.

Housing where I live is at a premium, and many very quaint old buildings are torn down to put up town homes (Or cracker boxes as we jokingly refer to them), often four on the same lot.

Desaturated and very gently adjusted tone.

The shot was hand held, though I might have been able to get away with a very slightly higher f-stop...

Camera: Canon EOS XTi
Shutter: 1/100s
Aperture: f/5.0
Iso: 800
Tripod: no

It may just be my screen but I think the white is a bit overexposed.

Hmm, that is a problem... I'm using a CRT, can't stand how flat panel monitors wash out colors... (At least the kind I can afford ;P)

Why ISO 800 and only aparture 5.

A higher aparture value in conjunction with a longer exposure (use tripod) and you can get a more even sharpness. Now there are blurry areas which distracts slightly.

The overexposure was also mentioned.

Thanks for the constructive comments.

The position of the window is at eye level and my tri-pod isn't that tall, unfortunately. I do wish I had used a slightly higher aperture, though the exposure setting was intentionally a little high because I wanted to ensure that the inside wall showed up... I'm not sure whether the effect was worth it ;P but I'm learning. Of course, a higher ISO would have helped both problems, but then the image would have come out a little grainy.

Thanks again, and keep it up. I'm really enjoying coming back to real constructive responses.

Cheers,
Aaron

Did not mean for you to have a higher ISO just a higher aparture value.
Probably a less high ISO even.

Interesting subject. Nothing in this image is overexposed, except for the frame.

I'm also seeing some over-exposure to the sill. Interesting angles and reflection.

Nice and different, but agree with the overexposure

Nice work though
