Abandoned House, near Clare

Abandoned House, near Clare

This abandoned house was found on the highway, just out of Clare (2 hours north of Adelaide), South Australia, Australia. I have changed it to sepia to add to the mood.

This was taken with a Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera.

    The sepia was a good choice it really sets the mood, almost as if a storm was brewing!

    This is fab Elana makes it seem even more isolated than the color version

  • Elana Bailey replied

    Kerri, I think that you are right. Hence, probably why I prefer (and so do most peope it seems) the sepia version. Many thanks indeed.

    Very, very nice Elana, it has a desolate and abandoned mood to it with the sepia and clouds.
    I think I took some shots of this place too when I was there…will have to go and check.

    This is a wonderful use of sepia. The barren dry countryside really compliments the sepia tones and the dusty cloud at the top really sets a mood.

    Very nice indeed.

    I like this a lot Elana, especially the composition and the way the sky seems to be compressing the building…......brilliant stuff. The tones suit it well too.

    There is a novel you culd write based on images this picture creates in your mind. Tremendous composition and fabulous light. My novel will be called ‘Memories of childhood’. The first line being….
    ‘My throat was parched. The day had stretched as long as time would allow – I could see Grandpa’s tractor approaching…’
    OK so I’m a photographer, not a writer…

  • Elana Bailey replied

    Peter, you could indeed. It is an emotive shot which would provoke a story. Many thanks for stopping by. It is much appreciated.

    Holy hell Elana…....... you favourited my work and in turn I took a glimpse at yours…... sstounding, with an “A”............. I love it. A girl close to my own…....... you feel whatever drew you to this compo. Maybe you should check my “Morgan’s Camp” image negating the lightning as a point of interest and drawing on the building as a source of impact…....... I love it….... balanced and true….. Ben :)

  • Elana Bailey replied

    Ben, you have a wonderful way with words…lol…Many thanks indeed, Ben and also for adding this one to your favs. Cheers Elana.

    Fine work Elana…....the building is well placed in the frame and serves to accentuate the isolation. The sepia works a treat.
