Welcome to week 182 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!

Last week’s theme of Tourism generated an incredible number of amazing entries! I came up with an idea for this week’s theme pretty quickly, but then struggled to find just the right image for it (I will have to shoot something for this idea). As often happens, when I start going through the archives, I find something that I just might want to treat in a different manner… That led me to the theme for this week: Back Catalog.

My challenge to you is to find an image in your back catalog that still grabs your attention and share it! Of course, if you want to re-interpret the image with what you have gained over the years, feel free to do so. Any kind of image is appropriate for this challenge! Let us know why this image still gets your attention!

Here’s a new interpretation of an old image…

Mysteries of the Farm…

In 2010, I was actively looking for dilapidated subjects to photograph and came across the old farm of the Westborough State Hospital, here in Massachusetts. This was a wonderful subject, as I captured a number of interesting images. In this image, we’re in the old stables. This shot is comprised of 5 different exposures ranging from -2 EV to +2 EV. In my original treatment, I leaned the image toward the feel of the interior of a ship, such as the Flying Dutchman. In the new version, I’m going more for the mystery of this location, keeping it simple and a bit muddy…

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

Looking forward to seeing what you bring out of your back catalog!

    1. Amazing post!

  11. I love the photo of the old farm/barn–it COULD indeed be a ship, or abandoned barracks, or … one of the first images I had, concentration camp block.In any of these associations the history of the place breathes and the dirt is part of the reality of it. Great job!

    1. Thank you very much, Na’ama!

  13. Some black and whites are more intense than a colored image! It looks compelling. Out of all the ones I could have chosen, I chose this one https://wp.me/p9EWyp-1jO

    1. Wonderful post!

  14. I had to ponder this topic. But then I decided on this.

  16. Interesting theme and a chance to go down memory lane. 🙂
    Great capture of the old stables. The hole in the aisle seems a bit risky.

    1. Thank you, Maria. Those stables were certainly not safe any more, but well worth the risk.

  18. I thought I posted a comment earlier, but apparently it didn’t go through…This is an other great idea for a challenge. I also like your photo: symmetry, textures, perspective and the mood. Great work as always.

    1. Nicely done to draw that, Tatiana! It’s gorgeous.

      1. Thank you Frank! 😀

      2. Hi Frank, I was a little rushed and tired last night when I replied from my phone… My image is actually a digitally made watercolor 🙂

    1. Hi Christine, not sure that the link is correct.

    Hello again Frank, for this contribution we’ve gone back to the earlier stages of the apples: https://tranature.com/2019/10/16/wordless-wednesday-fruit-from-the-flower/

        Thank you Frank! 🙂🙋‍♀️

  24. Frank, thank you for this!! I am still not able to drive around my area and working from home (because I can’t drive to work) has limited my opportunities to capture new images for the challenges. I submitted nothing for the last two. My Lightroom catalogue is enormous, but I am sure I can find a picture to share “as is” or to re-interpret.

    1. Hope you recover quickly so that you can enjoy the outdoors and photography again! Can’t wait to see what will catch your eye first when you are able to drive again.

    1. That’s a gorgeous bird and photo!

      1. Thank you. There’s a little secret to that particular shot. The bird is so tight in the frame I added some background in front of the bird to give it some space.

      2. Makes it look great. Well done!

    1. Fantastic set of photos!!

  36. […] For Frank this week – a memory. ”…find an image in your back catalog that still grabs your attention and share it!” This is the only time in my life that I have seen snowy apples…our neighbour had not finished his autumn harvest, and suddenly, one morning, it was snowing heavily. I can say I was fast getting my camera out. I still love the sight of those snow capped apples! […]

    1. Those apples are wonderful!
