Denton on the Square

Elyce again.  We went down to the square today, down in Denton.  I wanted go play around the courthouse and just see what there is to see.  I think the day turned out quite well, actually.  I didn't get nearly as many out of focus shots this time and was again in full manual mode.  I'm quite pleased with the lot.

Ryan took his camera, too, but he has a headache tonight and hasn't gotten them to me so I just thought I'd go ahead and post mine for now.  It was actually really interesting to see the same subject taken by two very different styles and approaches.

Of the keepers, this is the only one that's out of focus.  Ticked me right off.

This is part of a mural painted on the side of one of the shops off the square.  I wasn't able to get the artists signature in the shot I wanted, but you can find the full mural image at the artists website: http://www.mickburson.com/

I love this old truck.  Ryan got some really neat shots of it, too

so neat.

Close up on the truck.  I had to get a close up on "Dallas".

Super subtle post editing on this one.  I didn't really do much to it.

A few post editing changes and playing this time around. Tried somethings I haven't before.  And another addition is the watermark.  I figured I might as well tag them.  Even if they're just for practice and learning, they're still mine and I'm proud of them.

Overall, I think it was a really productive day, photography wise.  I feel good about my progress.  Can't wait to get out again soon!
