    Mill Stones

    A client asked for some B&W images of these old mill stones, but wanted to make sure the scripture was legible. Not exactly sure if this is what she had in mind, but it's my favorite from the shoot. What are you're thoughts?

    Here is a gallery I put together for the client to look at if you would like to see more.

    This is my favorite out of the set as well, followed by 7579 (it didn't cut the no trespassing sign in half ) The shots looking in the other direction might have been good too, but not enough of the road included to make a strong statement (road less travelled, path of life, whatever)

    I do have them in color, but the client requested "stark" B&W, so that is what I gave her to proof. I'm kind of partial to the colored images myself. I won't have access to the color images till later tonight. I will create another gallery with the colored images if you would like to see them.

    Mike, actually the one you posted here is my least favorite. My favorite would be #4670. I like the angle and point of view. Exposed nicely as well. I'm thinking that flipping it the other way so the sign is on the left might be a bit more comfortable.
    I also like 4632 and 4665.
    Let us know what she chooses.
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    Thanks for the feedback Gary. 4670 is the image the client choose as well. This is a location I visit several times a year, so I'm sure I will give the stones another go. The client is on a tight deadline, so I only had one night to get some shots for her.
