Sounds like my cup of (iced) tea. I see these beautiful white porches in films, it is lovely however to be up close and personal. Fav, because I am a huge porch fan (although where I come from they are called verandas).
Okay, this one is awesome, and reminds me of the book by Mary D Hahn... @catwoman2 . It is called TIme for Andrew, and I have just started reading it aloud to a new 4th grade class. I have three kids who are siblings to students last year. They said "When are you going to start Time for Andrew?!" haha Their siblings say it is a must read. There is an old house in it, Katy...and the boy from modern day transports back to the house, but years and years before....it is such a cools story. At times, when he is "back in the past" he can see a glimmer/shimmer of the house in the current day....He gets to know his family members of that time,almost thinks he will never get back to his era, but in the end, he does. But guess who shows up? His young friends/family from the old days..they are in their 80s or 90s. This pic you did reminds me of all of that.
What a great house! Green shutters and white rockers! @espyetta sounds like a good book. Gage has been adamant about not wanting to be read to, but I think I've lured him in with the BFG! Yay!
@m9f9l My boys like those made for kids classic books...Around the world in 80 Days, 20,000 Leagues Under the sea, the Invisible Man..they even have a kiddie version of Picture of Dorian Gray..of all things. My girls like all those classic books too, come to think of it.
Fantastic capture. Love it. I have always loved a nice porch with a rocking chair. Last night we went to the movies to see "The Ultimate Life", and there was a scene in a porch just like this one, with the guy sitting in a similar rocking chair :) --BTW, great movie.
I really like this one a lot. Love a beautiful home with a front porch like this one. What is really cool about all of this series is that what is behind your side mirror works so well. It is pretty plain which makes one focus on your mirror and creates such fabulous shots. FAV Did that make sense?
@darsphotos Thanks Darlene. That made perfect sense to me and it was something I had to be very aware of as I was shooting. I did manipulate a couple of the backgrounds to help delete some distracting objects that I couldn't shoot around. I just saw the FAV! Thanks! ;~}
@grammyn You are welcome Katy. My attempts at photos like this had that background stuff that would not make for a good photo. Do you have a way to get rid of the background or just waited for shots that were clear in the background?
@darsphotos Cloning is in pickmoney, ipiccy and many other processing programs. Paint is in several different ones as well. I use it in windows photo viewer.
