Water Tower TtV

On our third day of TtV shooting with "Kashi", Nicole and I drove around on a blustery New England "spring" day for an hour looking for interesting TtV subjects. I have a real soft spot for water towers, so I pulled the car over to capture this one. Simple compositions work best for TtV. The sky was very gray, almost stormy, and the sun was about to set.

Created using my Nikon D40 shot through a modified cereal box and then through the lens of Nicole's Carlton-Reflex camera. No photoshopping other than the crop tool!

Mystical; and it inspires a sombre mood. It is a classic.
