They just don't build houses like this anymore. Victorian houses have a special personality that rivals other styles. Finding this beauty on a steep hill in
Morgantown was wonderful. Having a camera to capture it and bring it home with me was priceless. When I first looked at it through my lens I noticed a large cloud formation moving toward the house. I waited until the clouds floated into a position that complimented the rest of the composition. Using a
25 red filter with black & white film made the blue sky dark to create that
Ansel Adams looking sky. In digital the same effect is possible by taking an RGB color file in
Adobe Photoshop and eliminating all channels except the red channel.
