Last night on the way home I went to Anderson Park in Redmond to shoot some more “Tree Socks”. While there I took some pictures of some of the log cabins in the park.
I was walking round one of the cabins trying different compositions and saw this stone chimney. I took some pictures as the wall was kind’a interesting and didn’t think much more of it. When I got home I reviewed all the pictures and found this shot of the stone chimney against the wooden slats of the cabin looked really cool.
This is kind of an example of interesting textures. The horizontal wooden logs that make up the cabins walls, against the siding that sits in the roof’s eves and the stone of the chimney go together to create, I think, a great image.
The sun was setting way off to the left and didn’t really affect the image directly, but it did add some great shadows on the cabin’s walls. In post processing I boosted the saturation a little and warmed up the image, finally I added a vignette (or a vinegar as my 30 year old niece calls it) and the image was complete.
I now know why Carter was lifting weights last night. He was prepping for his attempt at lion taming.
