Microstock Photo of the Day (Thursday, August 28, 2008)



There are quite a few abandoned buildings and ghetto neighborhoods in Houston. I avoid the more dangerous ones (one of my colleagues told me that crews were washing blood off the streets near one ghetto when she got off the bus this morning), but urban decay makes for fascinating photography. This particular photo features blue paint peeling from old wood from an abandoned warehouse that has been left to rot. I could spend all day shooting these patterns. This one is done at F9 and all the wood grain is in high detail even at 100% crop. Enjoy.
