The Demolition of the Bogdon and Gross Plant, Walkerton

Image
  Over the last few weeks we have been walking over the site of the old Bogdon and Gross furniture factory, which is being demolished to make way for another sub-division. Originally built in the late 1890's by the Knechtel Furniture Co.,  It operated until 1934, closing during the great depression.  Purchased by Bogdon and Gross in 1938.

To do so, take a test photo of your subject and look at the histogram.  Now if it is too dark, adjust exposure compensation a click or two brighter and take another,  review the histogram.  The intent is to just get the right most area of the graph just at, but not against the right limit.  The example at the right above for Bright Image shows too much bright, that is, information in your photo is be bleached out, and no amount of post-processing can fix it.  On ...
