zoom and crop {84/365}

So I’ve been back to this particular barn three times now.

The first time, I’d taken a full shot of it from the side of the road (a good 500 ft away at the very least) and when I got back home and had a look, it was particularly craptastic.  I tried again a few days ago, and meh, it wasn’t much better, but I noticed the doors when I was fooling around editing, trying to salvage it.

Oh my, the doors! and that … what is that? A flag?

So I went back today, armed with the 300mm zoom and my ever present streak of stubborn.

84/365

This is at 300mm, and then further cropped to bring it up closer. And yes, my stubborn self picked a really overcast day, so it was underexposed and now a little noisy.

It’s still not what I’m after, but I’m going to leave it for now before I’m brought up on stalking charges.

    LOL. I think it turned out really good! Noise is OK with all that texture, right?

      Yep, it hides it :)
      I was wanting more of a pop on those red doors though.
      Another time!

        I can see that…would Pioneer Woman’s boost help, or just playing in Photoshop? (novice here, but it sounds good – lol)

          I’ve already edited.
          But yes, would help if my original wasn’t so underexposed. Bringing it back up, and the resulting noise, it would only look that much more noisy if I started ‘boosting’ and stuff :)
