Location

This photo was taken in my friend's backyard. I had been wanting to get a shot of it for some time and they had asked my husband to tear it down. I hurried to their place with my camera and had my husband stop working just in time to get a photo before it was gone forever. :)

Time

The photo was taken mid afternoon.

Lighting

Just that there was some cloud in the sky which was just what I needed to capture the image the way I wanted.

Equipment

Cannon EOS with 55-250mm lens.

Inspiration

Since my friends moved into their house with this old building in the back yard, I had said on many occasions that I had to get a photo of it. It always looked like it should be in a photo so when it was slated to be torn down I knew it was my last opportunity.

Editing

I really just adjusted the brightness and used Sepia Toning because it worked well with the photo. When the photo gives me a good feeling, it's complete. This can sometimes mean lots of processing and can also mean no processing at all.

In my camera bag

Camera, telescopic lens, zoom lens, extra camera chips, lens cleaners, extra lens covers. Next purchase, macro lens. :)

Feedback

I think that looking at everything within your surroundings as "fair game" when it comes to capturing images is a great mindset to have. I am far from a professional photographer but have always loved taking photos. I often say "everything is a picture." Looking at old sheds, barns and houses and wondering about the people who built them and walked through them, whether children played in them etc. can make a person feel nostalgic. Capturing the image with these thoughts in mind can transfer to the person looking at your photo. It lends that sense of nostalgia to the photo and while people may look at the photo and see a beautiful image, they are not always aware that it's the "feeling" that draws them to the image to begin with.
