It has been hot and I haven’t been out much nor have I thought of anything to photograph; so I have used my time to research cameras and lenses and to work on seeing what I can do with older pictures that I have taken.

The above picture originally had a solid blue sky with a mix of various colored bricks in the buildings and I never liked it much.  I don’t think I have shown it before, but I may have.  I ran across it while I was looking through older pictures to try to figure out what was the best focal length lens for me to use whenever I get around to going back to town to make some more pictures.  For those who might be interested, the effective 35mm of the Fujifilm X100 worked nicely for this picture.

I like this style for this picture since it emphasizes the texture of the bricks and the old character of the building without over-whelming the viewer with the vivid colors of the sky and bricks.

PS … you may have noticed that a while back I disabled the “like button” at the end of my articles since I never learned much from the like clicks.  If you like, or don’t like, something in particular about an article or picture, you can comment.
