Bruno's abode

Balingup, Western Australia

I only met Bruno briefly. He kept to himself, preferring distance. So when he sent a message allowing me to photograph his old stables, I was hugely honoured. He stayed out of sight while I wandered the stables, but his goats and geese kept an eye on me!

I love the colours and textures in this – great work
Andrew Davoll

Love this image. The subject matter is so evocative and your treatment adds to the feel. Did you use an Orton effect on this?
Andrew
Louise Cooke replied

Thanks for your kind words Andrew :) I didn’t use orton – it’s my first attempt at HDR, and I’m looking forward to trying a bit more of this. Thanks heaps for taking a look!

Absolutely stunning image, Louise !!!! You really have done it justice, especially with the treatment and the lighting control, such clarity and tonal range !!! You should have a ball around this as there would be so much to shoot !!
Damiend

Awesome shot, is it HDR? Amazing work. Is this place in WA?
Louise Cooke replied

Thanks so much Damiend – yes, it’s hdr (new thing for me!) and yes, these old stables are down in Balingup (just edited my description!). Cheers :)

Michael Gatch

Nicely done. the colors make this an attention grabber the vignetting seems to add to it somewhat. good job.

Beautiful Louise. Did you get any of the ducks and geese?
Louise Cooke replied

Hi Anton :) I got a few of the goats, but nothing great – as for the geese, I failed miserably!

Beautiful colour. I particularly love the clouds, they perfectly compliment this image.
Louise Cooke replied

Barbara Sparhawk

Hoorah for Bruno! And what a romantic look you’ve made of it, the lighting is so beautiful. I love old places like this. The one I’m moving into looks a bit more solid, but this is really pretty.
Louise Cooke replied

Hope your places smells a little better too Barbara, because the geese and goats had a bit of stench going on in here! Thanks for your kinds words :)
Mark Lee

The Blackwood area makes for some great images hey Louise.
I’m going to spend sometime down there this winter.
Fantastic shot, I miss you :-)

Perhaps Bruno knew in his heart that you would do a good job of preserving the images of his place. You have .

I really like the way you’ve brought out the colour in this and the vignetting. Lovely work.

This is an awesome image Louise. the quality of the finnish is just stunning. Did you do a lite HDR procesing? (If so it is right onn the Button,)
Love it. – Peter
Louise Cooke replied

Thanks a million Peter! Yes, it was a 5 bracket exposure I think, processed in photomatix. My 2nd hdr image and a lovely scene to work with :))
