restored 66

I am going to try to post some pictures
so I can see how I can improve (that is if I get the pics on here correctly)

restored Conoco station built in 1936,
on old Route 66

I like it I just think you need to fix the lean. Nice work...

I like the composition (and the lean) but I think your white balance is too cool/green.

Thanks for the comments I set the white balance at daylight
(it was the middle of the day, bad time to shoot I know,but
we were traveling) I guess I should use custom white balancing
Thanks for the help guys.......

Great subject. I've seen a similar design (years ago and not on Rt. 66) and there's several other angles and presentations available for very cool photos.

There are several good ideas already including fixing the rotation and keystoning (building leaning away) already posted. If the perspective of the photo had been from a step or two further away, the Conoco lettering wouldn't be jammed up into the top of the building.

Should you go this way again take a few minutes and get several images to work with and I bet you will get a real winner.

This is a fun shot to see and glad you posted it.

Thanks for the reply drg, yeah I know there were probably better angles,
but the best would of been in the middle of the street,seems everywhere
I go to take pictures I am constantly dealing with power lines, fences, busy streets, or no
tresspassing signs, but I guess that is what you deal with when you take
mostly architecture shots......by the way congratulations on the Featured Photo
I looked at your user gallery you are very talented..........
