This series of photos were taken at the Licking River Historical District in Kentucky. I wanted to capture the story and condition of these buildings, so I thought B&W was the best way to do so. This series is primarily vertical and in black in white. 

​

After learning that- when compensated for crop factor- my 28mm film camera lens is actually a 48mm lens I decided to give the dreaded 16mm-50mm Sony kit lens a try. Most of the shots came out rather well though many more were lost due to user error. I set the ISO too low and my camera overcompensated by giving me slow shutter speeds. This made many of the tack sharp photos actually blurry. This is for sure something to look out for next time, but nothing I can change post-process. I think I will continue to use both lenses intermittently, as they both have their pros and cons. 

 

The Historical District was a really cool place to visit, most of the homes were either historic or interesting. It is a hidden gem for architecture photographers like me. Im probably going to revisit this site so I can cover the houses I missed.
