I enjoy taking shots like these, getting the composition, finishing the final development. I would never start with a blank slate though. Everything would be a jug and piece of fruit, with lots of dust.
Describing the work is an issue, and I’m guessing ‘still life’ would work, as long as it doesn’t sound too pompous.
Another item from the art collection at the Hermitage House.
It’s also another item I have little information on. I have various pamphlets and looked through the permanent collections on line with nothing referencing this piece. There were others in a series from Ancient Greece. The tapestry here looked part of it so…
I’m not sure how to even describe this.
Below is a room in the Hermitage House, a dressing room as in the 1940’s. I don’t have any official description of it. I was able to lean against the open door, look in, and capture this angle of the mirrors, dress form, and furniture.
For the final photograph I used the DxO editing system FilmPack. The software is a large collection of recipes based on camera films. They range from the very old Benifils of the late 1800’s through the most current 35mm still available. For this photo I selected a film recipe in use during the 1940’s. I used the programs time line option to match film to this image.
The Hermitage, Newport, Virginia.
A favorite subject of mine, cemetery rust. One that’s easily found in the Charleston area.
Historically Charleston is known for its iron work, examples are in museums all over the world. We still have schools here keeping the skill alive.
From the collection at the Hermitage Museum, Norfolk, Virginia.
Every piece exhibited was in an impressive presentation.
The title should probably be ‘found on a drive’, doesn’t have the same ring to it though.
The Hermitage was found online while searching for a place to visit before our 4:00 PM hotel check-in. Around Newport Virginia, near the docks, The Google took us there.
They had a door knocker, a real door knocker/hinge 😁.
Note; I was convinced it was a door knocker because of its placement and ornate details. After looking closer it was a hinge repurposed. That’s even better.
Photo taken with the OM-1 (1), Olympus 12-200, at a ridiculously high ISO.
‘The devil’s in the details’…
Spied in the Hermitage, Norfolk, Virginia.
We walked down one of the dikes. Found a photograph that had to be taken.
They didn’t seem to mind, and we gave them their space 😂
