I give myself shooting assignments sometimes to keep practicing different photographic vision or skills. This day I was looking for shapes and textures … since I was shooting black and white film (with a Nikon F100), shapes and textures increase the likelihood that there will be some interesting part to the image.
I was happy with both of these.
I worked some to get these photos of the reflections without having them show my reflection. They were both taken in downtown Port Townsend, WA.
I stood off to the side (just barely) and then did some correction to the perspective in LIghtroom. These were taken with my Nikon F100 on Kodak Tri-X. I have them developed and the lab does high resolution scans, which I then import to Lightroom (after amending the EXIF data to reflect the camera make, etc.).
(EXIF data is included in all digital images … and includes such things as the capture time and the camera settings … and can include all sorts of other stuff such as copyright info and contact information.)
There are a lot of brick buildings in Port Townsend … even though it was a center for exporting logs and lumber. The folks who could afford it built in brick … it helped to protect from fire.
The image below is of one of the doors to an old cannery that has been converted into office/living space.
