This one, cropped. You're showing the building, not an empty garden (unless it's for camping )

Re: utterly random picture thread.
You're over exposed. Take it first thing in the morning. Lose the car. Get down lower and shoot from about waist height. Stand on the drive and put the house to the upper right. Google rule of thrids for help.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
Then Google 'golden section'
Thirds gives a noughts and crosses grid
3 3 3
3 3 3
3 3 3
ie
2 horizontal lines, 2 vertical, 4 cross points.
Golden section gives a variation of this grid. Where with thirds you might have a vertical line left of centre, a ratio of 3:6, GS has the ratio of 5:8.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
You can work with shadows and shooting into the sun with great effect, converting to black and white and using high contrast would give you a great shot of your place for yourselves, but its probably not best for a promo shot. You do need to get your exposure down as you're getting flare (no data) on the house. I'm not there so can't really scout it, but i'd probably crouch on the left side of the drive putting the house into the upper right and showing the driveway as a leading line to it. Don't shoot from standing height, its how we see things so looks normal and lacks impact. Crop it to suit this view. I'd bring down the highlights and play with shadows. Add contrast to bring out the house details better. Crank up some vibrancy/saturation to bring out the primary colours. This would work well with the monotones of the house and drive.

I saw Kieth at Silverstone many years ago. He had a GSXR750 that was being looked after by the Suzuki BSB race team.Rockburner wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2023 8:28 pmI seem to remember reading something about him being a track day fan with a tricked up Blade.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2023 8:22 pm His first Ducati, I didn't even know he could ride a bike.

Is that old furniture/pallets out to the left? Crop them out. Looks a bit untidy.
