Sebastopal House V2

Same house as yesterday from my stop in Seguin, Texas on Tuesday afternoon. Same house but... this photo has an amazingly different feel to it because of the different composition and post-processing. Hope you like it!

Title: "Sebastopal House V2"


Camera / Lens: Canon 40D / Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 zoom
Post-processing: Photomatix Pro to combine three handheld exposures (-2,0,+2) into one HDR photo > Photoshop CS3 > Topaz Adjust plugin > Virtual Photographer (best free Photoshop plugin available on the net) for sepia conversion

Two great shots that demostrate how much a photographer can influence the mood of a shot. I think this one is my fav of the two.

Nicely done here, but I still prefer the other shot for the reasons posted earlier. It just goes to show you how two people view a photo differently. Life's experiences influence all of us in some way. If we all looked at photos in the same "light" it would be pretty boring.

Good job on both photos though.

Both versions of this house are very interesting...it is difficult for me to say which I like better. Each one causes me to look at the house in a different way and to notice different things in the architecture or environment. Today's version seems like it could have come from your Great Grandmother's photo album while the color in yesterday's post gives that one more of a contemporary vibe. I am leaning to agreeing with Larry, the sepia treatment makes it extra special. Great job on both images.
