Abandoned

This image is inspired by an exhibition of old photographs that I saw on the Library of Congress website, "Bound for Glory: America in Color, 1939-1943" which can be seen here. I wanted to emulate the style I had seen in these old photos. This old building was the perfect subject to capture the feel of a depression era farm. For this image I used Pro HDR to take the picture, the reason behind that choice was that there was bright sun that day making for a high contast image. When using the standard camera app the front of the building was cast in very dark shadows and no detail could be seen. By using Pro HDR I was able to even out the contrast and pull up the finer details in the scene. I then processed the image in Lo-Mob to give it that old film look. I think this photo would fit right in with the Library of Congress collection.
