Thanks for the comments, but I must admit this frustrated me a little, too. I didn't have much time to shoot for this challenge, but still I wanted to keep my training "on-task."
So, I tried my hand at "drive-by shooting," even though that is a phrase with a terribly grievous connotation as a rule.
My truly wealthy home subjects didn't turn out as usable as I would have liked with this method. I was left with this one photo that was a "toss-up, but still seems more poverty (because of the weathered siding) than wealthy.
O, Well, it was an attempt... :) |
