18 Mar 2007

With little to do this day it was decided that I would go out to the plantation. I had also decided that I wanted to focus more on taking pictures from the insides of the buildings rather than the outsides, it being a rather hot day as it usually is, it didn't particularly bother me that it would also be cooler in the buildings than in the sun. I didn't get started as early in the day as I had wanted, and due to the bus schedule I only had two hours to play around. There wasn't anything of particular interest to me, so I just started off with the church, I wasn't sure I could do much with it, being as it is rather plain and not all that impressive. But figuring that how interesting the pictures were depended as much on the person taking the pictures as what was being photographed that I should see what I could do, after a couple of color photographs with my new digital camera (I just got it this month, and these are the first real pictures I have taken with it) I thought it would be better to go with black and white as these buildings tend lend themselves more to that end. I really only ended up going through 3 buildings, the church, the plantation house, and a small one room building. All in all it was much better than being stuck in my room for yet another day, and turned out some interesting photos. Just as a little note the background on this page was taken from one of the photos I took of a tree stump as was the background on my home page.
