Photo of the Day
Tonight I went around looking for a specific set of objects to photograph. I was sure that somewhere near me had to be the two neighbors with different political views. I really wanted the view from both angles of the different signs with the emphasis different on each one. I actually had been looking for this for a while, but I could not seem to find it. The same held true tonight so I had to settle on this shot of just one of the signs by itself. Four years ago no matter the candidate elected it was going to be a historical day. This year the election does not have the same feel to it, and the lack of signs that I found may show that others feel the same way. Either way the decision today will give us the face of the country for the next four years.
Near my house I found plenty of signs for the current President Barack Obama. Most of them lacked the same quality of background that I found with the Romney sign. I did find this one though that had a nice neighborhood street in the background with a little bit of color on it. My little project was a kind of success today as I was able to get a couple of shots that I would normally not have even tried. I liked the end result. This brought me back to my photo 365 project a bit with the fact that I needed to be a bit creative to find my shot. Maybe I will start giving myself little projects like this to keep me sharp. I had some fun here coming up with this one.
Technical Data
I really did not do much here. Just a minor tweaking of the highlights, clarity, vibrance, and contrast in Lightroom. I really wanted to keep it pretty close to as shot.
