The Colors of Calico

I took this photos in Calico Rock, Arkansas. It was a small town that just oozed southern charm. It was old fashioned but it had a huge personality.

This is of Casey's grandmother quilting. We walked into small store/museum and they had a project set up where you could work on the quilt. Her grandma sat down and started working on it, and I realized how brilliantly this captured the essence of the town.  I cropped this photo, white balanced and added the 

"Bleach Bypass" filter.

I found these peacock feathers in the same store and thought they were beautiful. I love the depth of field in this picture. I cropped this photo, upped the exposure and added the Color CP 2 filter.

This was taken in the "ghost town." There was an old, overgrown mill and this was sitting in front of it. I have no idea what that thing does, but it made for a cool shot. I upped the exposure and fill light, and then I added the "Aged Photo" filter. I can't really decide if I like it with the filter or not, but without it, the picture looked so boring. So there it is!

I'm okay with this photo. I feel like it's kind of a boring shot, but it's my first attempt playing with leading lines. The sky was really bright. I should've taken down my ISO way more. I was thinking because it was overcast I might need to bring it up, but it still turned out really bright. I'll need to figure it out.

For this photo, I took down the exposure a bit and cropped it.

ISO: 100  f/4.0  SS: 1/20

The house that this sign was on had a cool story to it. It was built completely by hand, but it was made a bit.. well, bad. You can see that the door is crooked and the roof is tilted. But it it's a cute house. Someone lived there until a few years ago when the owner died.

This photo was cropped and the exposure was turned up a bit.
