Courthouse
This weekend proved to be pretty fruitless for me as far as shooting goes. The weather was less than cooperative and I just wasn’t feeling very creative stuck in the house. Sunday afternoon things started looking a little better and I took the opportunity to walk through downtown Abingdon, something I don’t do as often as I should. There were a few high level clouds still blowing across the skies above town so I setup on the sidewalk in front of the county courthouse to catch some long exposures.
I’m not completely sold on the overall composition of this particular shot but I did like the movement in the clouds. I’ll definitely be getting into town more often to work out just the right spots to highlight the local architecture.
Gear: Canon 60D
Settings: 35mm, ISO100, f/22, 10 seconds
Processing: Adobe Lightroom 3
I love the black and white and the smoothness of the clouds from the long exposure. I think you’ve done a really nice job with the black and white conversion. I don’t have any real problems with the composition, I think it works well.

I think the comp works and the soft white cloud nicely frames the weather vane.

I like how the clouds in the background there kind of highlight the weather-vane on the roof. I really enjoy this picture!

Nice long exposure. Love what it’s done to the cloud. Great choice for a mono

Such a simple shot but very effective, and the sky is toned just right.

Nice work, Curt. I like the comp here and the B&W fits this to a T.

I really like this image Curt. The comp is good and the cloud makes it even more interesting. The choice of B&W is spot on.
