I’m returning to posting a few more of the morning light series of photos I was posting last week.
I’m calling them the morning light series instead of the historical homes series because after viewing and processing these images it’s become clear that it’s much more about the light. Yes, the homes offer interesting lines, curves and surfaces to display the light, but the main element is still the morning light.
These are a few homes falling outside the norm for this neighborhood’s architecture styles. People sometimes like their own individuality and it translates into their homes. Two of these are definitely heavily Spanish influenced and the third seems to have a little European perhaps Alps influence.
I love old houses with red tile roofs.
Steve, I’ve always wanted a house with either a tile roof or a natural slate roof. Never been able to afford it or have the house that it would look right on. Thanks!
Call ’em what you will — they’re very nicely done Earl.
Thank you so much, PJ.
You did some fine “light chasing” with this group. This should get some of us out more mornings.
Anita, I was a fast walking photo shooting fool on this particular morning. Everywhere I turned there was another wonderful light painted scene and I wanted to capture as many of them as possible before the light changed. Thanks!
You have a very nice series of pictures here, Earl. Combined with the others, you can have a nice little portfolio going. I love the sky in the first photo.
Ken, thanks, I’m working on a new gallery/portfolio and when it’s ready I’m certainly going to group these together. I’ve found I enjoy shooting architecture…at least this type.
This is one heck of a nice neighborhood… forget the light. :-)
Mark, I won’t argue that point. :-) I can’t imagine what some of these homeowners spend on home maintenance and upkeep. Plus, they have to get pre-approval from the local historic society on any changes or paint colors.
I really love your morning light series. That wonderful golden glow and the architecture of those houses go incredibly well together. With your amazing images you showed me again how important the interplay between light and shade is. Fantastic work, Earl.
I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Thanks!
I’ve enjoyed the whole series! When thinking about what I have liked most about them has been the light. We could walk these streets each day for photo opportunities and would be the light that presents a new look each day. It helps bring smiles to many readers of your blog.
I agree with you, Monte. This series may have featured historic old homes but it’s really been about the light.
