This is beautiful.. I love the strong colours, excellent HDR. I most learn more about it, my HDR ’s don’t com out as nice.

Great title – it does look a rather grand design, even if it is past it’s prime! Love the way it sits proud and isolated in that gorgeous landscape! Beautiful image!
PFrogg replied
Thank you

Looks like it’s set up to move, is that correct? Only needs some brick or siding.
PFrogg replied
its on it’s original foundation someone has started dismantling it
a shame was grande home at one time
Andy Mueller
Beautiful image, love the composition in regards to fore & background. That was quite a home in former times.
PFrogg replied
Thank you
It must have been outstanding in 30’s and 40’s
built sometime before the great depression

Nicely composed capture! The dried grasses compliment the wood grains of the old house and the gray/blues of the sky add lovely contrast!

I KEEP COMING BACK TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. THIS MUST HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING IN ITS GLORY DAYS….WHAT A SHAME THAT PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN IT UPON THEMSELVES TO JUST PULL IT APART.
PFrogg replied
thank you Diane ,i was told it might one of T Eaton Co. mail order houses of the 1910-1920 era they were magnificent to bad they didn’t have insulation back then many of these might still be in use today thanks for coming by sorry i missed you

this is also full of beautiful glowing light. how do you get your camera to capture light like that?
PFrogg replied
HDR and AE bracketing
Mleahy
I am just starting to leave the world of point and shoot- i’m getting my first SLR this week!!! would you mind explaining what HDR and AE bracketing are or pointing me to someplace where I can research it?
PFrogg
Hello a good HDR tool would be Photomatix pro check there web site
and Olympus and Canon web sites to see if there DSLR ’s are capable of doing this
i picked up a Olympus 510 kit and a 40-150 lens i love this camera I’ve always had canon
but the price convinced me to change and have never regeted it ,ilike the 4/3rds mount pictures are clear right to the outter edge good luke

So many of these old homesteads have fallen by the wayside. It reminds me of the photos My Grandparents and Great Grandparents used to show me from their original farms out there in Saskatchewan. My Great Grandparents lived on the frarm for many years until finally retiring to a house in Swift Current.
PFrogg replied
Some of these old homesteads where magnificent in there day

The questions are flying everywhere … what did it look like in its glory days … why was it abandoned, what happened to the family … WOW!!!

This is a great photo and treatment. I really like the simplicity in the composition with 3 basic elements-the field, the house, the sky. The details in the interesting old house are excellent. I imagine it had a long and interesting history.
