Critique Welcomed Apparently It Was A Day For Gates ...

[Keith Hollister]

Went back to the Maitland Art Center to explore some more and just about every shot I liked ended up being a gate of some sort or another - go figure. Fuji X-E2 and XF14mm.

I reckon there's probably an opening for these sort of pictures!

I do like a theme and these are very nice. I especially like the first and the shift from more muted tones to fuller colours.

 

[Lesley Jones]

And very nice gates they are too Keith!

 

[Nick Lukey]

I really like this set, great subject

 

[Keith Hollister]

Thanks, all. I was conflicted over how to best manage focus on the first one. The background in the distance is not in focus exactly, but if I had used hyper focal, the stonework at the edges of the frame in the foreground would not have been in focus. I fudged the background since it was in the distance and not quite as obvious. My usual procedure would have been to use HF - in hindsight, I think I probably should have stuck with that. Oh well, next time.

the b&w ones work best for me. great combination of tones and texture.

Nice shots of interesting subjects. I was in your state for the last week. Drove from Naples to St Augustine and felt like I was in Orlando forever. You have a very...very...flat state.

Specially like #1, nice shot Keith

Should have dropped me a note and we could have met somewhere for lunch or a beer.

I did...ya missed it.

I really like that first one - it's like a gateway to a story - monotone on the outside, and technicolor on the inside

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Magnificent gates to beautiful open light photography with structure and colours.
