October 16, 2009 - Curving tables

1/1000f8.0ISO 160024mmRAW

Today was overcast, so I went about looking for good subjects for black and white photos. This is a set of tables outside a Chick-fil-A. I liked the symmetry of the composition, and I cropped out everything that was detracting from the tables.

I shot the photo at ISO 1600 to add a bit of graininess, and set the aperture to f8 to get all of the tables in focus. In Photoshop Elements, I increased the contrast and filled in the shadows a bit in an effort to mimic old-fashioned black and white film.

In retrospect, I think the photo is kinda plain. Not much to it. What do you think? I am trying to do more black and white photography, so I am going to keep plugging away and see what I can do.
