Old Truck and Old Barn
Nov 6, 2019 00:01:08 #
Headed out to fire up the old truck this morning but couldn't get it started. I'm kinda stumped, didn't seem like so much frost she wouldn't start.
Guess I'll have to branch out to my more mechanical friends to see if they can figure it out.
But now that I think about it, the Motor has been Missing a lot lately!
I shot this pano because I liked the trees on the end, but I think there is too much to see. I find with panoramics it is easy to have a very long image that looks nice but doesn't have a specific center of attention. Here there may be to many subjects fighting for your attention.
It is amazing how much the interaction between the truck and the buildings changes just by moving my shooting point left or right a few yards.
In the last shot I cropped out the trees on the end to see how much more my attention goes to the truck and buildings. What do you think?

I like the last one best. Since it didn't start, did you check the gas gauge. LOL.

I know you were interested in a pano, but I happen to like the original (non-pano) photo the best. The attention absolutely goes to the truck, and the buildings and trees add to the environment.

I like them all. Each makes it own statement. If I had to choose I’d go with #2. The red truck catches the eye and draws me into the whole scene. The B&W not so much.

The first and last are the best depending on what you want to achieve. The last could be cropped even more but then is it a panoramic

I like the first one best because the truck catches your I first and leads you to old barn. Great set like them my kind of pictures.

The first image has, IMHO, the best potential impact. However, viewing both subjects straight on and one in front of the other is confusing and tends to "flatten" the image for me. Maybe moving over to one side or the other a bit and capturing them at an angle to each other might have been advisable. I like the final pano as it gives a sense of space and melancholy, without the subjects getting "lost" in the process. I have a problem with my panos looking like long, strung-out images and the subjects that seemed so distinct become barely noticeable! I need more practice...

I think the last shot works marvelously well, especially in download; perhaps it is even frame worthy, but I'll let better photogs than I speak on that.
