It’s in the details
It’s in the details
The photo prompt this week from The Daily Post is details. This got me thinking about all the old buildings and things we saw at Virginia city. I have always marveled at the workmanship in old buildings, they really cared about the details and artistry.
This window was amazing in it’s detail. I would love to have a window like this in my home.
And why have a simple fence when you can make this nice metal rail for it.
This shot is more utilitarian. These are some of the chain and gears on a gold dredge.
These daisy’s next to this great old truck caught my eye. The old, and the new.
This week the Dogwood 52 week challenge is waterscape. A landscape shot focusing on water.
This shot seemed pretty perfect for that.
Do you look for, or notice all the details in old buildings?
I mostly look not close enough :o( but this time I noticed that the old car smiles somehow and I saw the beauty in this fence :o)
I prefer older buildings due to the details and character. I chose an old home – colored glass around some of the windows, a stained glass window above the front window – I even like the old glass left in a few windows that makes the view outside wavy :-)
Yes! I love all that stuff. Old glass fascinates me.
Good morning Mary!
That truck with the daisies at its front end…that is a powerful photo. All your photos show great detail of not only light and shadow, rust and patina, antique windows and etching, but the detail of stories that each object can tell. Photography is INDEED poetry etched in light and shadows!
I love the story each photo tells — and how you interpret the story and give it depth with your artistry.
Love the old truck and daisies. And the fence. Beautiful.
I LOVE that window. You probably already guessed that I’m BIG into details, it’s my favorite thing to photograph in nature – those tiny details no one notices. When we’re on a dig, it’s the details in the land, artifacts and remaining structures that give us clues to what went on and where to look for evidence. I also love discovering ghost architecture on old homes that tells me how that home had originally been designed. And the details on furniture from bygone times is also amazing, not only in the carved decorations but also in hidden nooks and tiny drawers. Oscar Bach would sometimes weave interesting references into his amazing metalwork that you can discover if you look beyond the surface and focus on the details. Sorry, I’m rambling – tends to happen when it’s a subject I love!
I would love to follow you around on a dig sometime. That would be awesome.
I think you’d enjoy it, I know I’d enjoy having you there! I think you’d also find some unique photo opportunities. :)
We don’t see much old stuff around here, but when we do, it is so neat to see. Great photos! Mom doesn’t really want to go back to Europe having lived there so long, but she would love to go and do photography. So much old stuff there.
Very nice pics. I really like the pic of the old grey truck.
I love old buildings, but I think I’m more of a “big picture” person. I’m probably missing out on all those wonderful details though – love that window!
Great selection, Mary! The second one is simple and elegant. I like the angle you took for the third one. :)

Great pics! I love the “detail” ones!
