Window

WINDOW IN RESTORED MINER'S HOUSE, OLD VICTORIA NEAR ROCKLAND, MICHIGAN, AUGUST 18, 2013

Pentax K-5
Pentax 18-135 at 78mm
1/8000 sec. f8
ISO 1600

This study in colors and textures—vertical cedar shake siding, old horizontal hewn logs, plaster chinking, flat window casings, and a lace curtain—immediately appealed to me when I arrived at the Old Victoria historical site. Although the K-5 yields very good image quality at ISO 1600, if I had remembered to do so I would have dialed the ISO down to 200 or 400 to get even better IQ.
