Sometimes I am reminded how much of photography is hunting for an actual photo, instead of snapping away at things mindlessly. These are some examples of what felt like proper photos from a recent trip.
These are not free for external use, but if someone really wants me to do a play raw, then I might be tempted to share 
Nice! Thanks for sharing. Some of those go together very nicely !
Thanks @mino
The location was pretty perfect!
Yes! I love abandoned stuff.
The window with the silhouette security camera looking out at basically nothing feels particularly poignant.
I also really like the door way with cinder blocks in it.
A nice series for sure.
Yes, when I stumbled upon that interior window with the view I initially only noticed the nice framing it made. It wasn’t until I was editing that I noticed the security camera, which is now a favorite element.
And yes, there were several cinderblock buildings with doors in weird places and things bricked up or replaced, etc.
I like the white balance on these, but I don’t like that they’re all vertical, I feel claustrophobic looking at them, whether it was intentional or not
I like the subject matter and I like the images. Great set.
Thank you @ho4
I am actually trying to shoot more horizontally. I have always done a lot of portrait type shooting, and also having shared most of my images digitally and on social media, so I have gotten too accustomed to shooting vertically.
There are some other shots from this shoot that were horizontal, but they weren’t quite as good as these (from a subject matter point of view).
I appreciate the feedback!
Thanks @kap55 !
Do you mean 1Q8A5659? That looks more like a satellite dish receiver to me.
Also, my fav is 1Q8A5642.
I wish the second image (golden hour one) was horizontal. I think the feeling would’ve been so serene and open, not sure why. I’ve never lived in the US or thereabouts but if someone asked me I’d say it’s the 80s in the US, mid summer, near sunset, and this is what your barn door looks like when you go pick up a wrench from there
Hahaha for a second I thought you were super technically knowledgeable and cited the model number of the security cam :-D.
I like the shots being portrait format :-).
Honestly it could be. I don’t remember what it looked like from outside, but that area out that window is meant as a drivethru for feed trucks, so who knows…
It was actually a semi-covered area in the early afternoon, but the sun was so bright that the light coming in looks like late-day sunlight. But yeah, I am excited to do more horizontal shots, hopefully in this location if we get a change to go there again.
Thanks
Maybe, but it is also whatever my mind says it is
