I am not getting out and taking pictures these days -- difficult to. So I've been going through some old photos.
This was taken back in May '05 when I shot a bunch of old gas pumps. At that time I was told the one I showed on list was too soft. Upset me because that's what my former photography teacher kept telling me. I changed lenses (one shot too soft), then cameras systems, and improved my technique, so I thought I was way past the too soft stuff. Anyway, that's why I got upset. Raw nerve. This is the first photo I've shown with PS post processing. I am learning PS CS. Before it was all Elements post processing. All I did though was use auto stuff and USM. I plan to shoot them again. But I also have bunches of gas pump photos that I may work up into a collage too. They are really more striking when taken together. I think this one's mildly interesting, but nothing great. I've considered a closer crop on some of the flakiness and/or gear stuff. Suggestions on that welcome. Its interest is more in its age. This was the oldest gas pump they had. Dated back to the 1920's -- 1928 I think. Maybe a tad earlier. http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/oldgas.htm Comments are okay. Just don't tell me it's too soft. Marnie aka Doe ;-)
