Experimenting with the art of layering. / Three separate photos , all messed with. / A lot of dodging and burning and erasing Hope you like it.
This dilapidated and crumbling barn was photographed in Chisago County, Minnesota a year ago. Today it is just a pile of boards.

Another version of the old farm barn.
This was actually shot just about a month ago in the fall, back in the mountains above Penticton in B.C. The original image was shot in flat, low light, so I played with it in PS and managed to create a wintry, infrared atmosphere around this creepy old red barn in the Okanagan valley.
Dilapidated barn in western Cranston, RI. Its doubt that an actual witch lives here, but the roofline resembles a witches hat. dr5 cross processing enhances old, wooden buildings. The camera’s 6×9 aspect ratio emphasizes the height of the imposing structure. It almost seems as if it will crumble down on top of you from this angle. Created using an antique AGFA Clack camera with Efke R50 black & white film cross processed with dr5 . No digital manipulation. (c) Paul Lavallee 2007 /
A Victorian Castle Farm in Dunfries & Galloway Southern Scotland / / The Romance music from Witchfinder General. A Confounded Letter. / As nightime therapy then, I listed all the happenings I could not explain. Could not account for in the dreadful, dreary, daily, dumb. Fearful scars across a manic mystery country of my own making. / First across the Camel river then to Lyonesse; to hear the bells under the waves and finding in ivy, hidden Mesopotamian mystery mazes on a rocky valley, carved, cliff wall. A witch body in an old witched blacked stone museum. A big pig, ghost pig, frightening a boy, in Thomas Hardy’s cold boarded, greenwood church. An Adder and a sign Saint under a stone in a river, ending through a fiord. The Once and Future King swimming forever under Tintagel’s sea waterfalls. The light of my stone megalith mystery landscape. The one they call paralis in paradise. Before the moor of excellent dreams. North Grandfather coming into sleep and asking to be aright, all light with his fob and blue Saint golden watch hanging bright. Othneil, Lion of God, my Norman ancestor uncle, haunting me uncertainly with the sad smell of his pipe tobacco in rooms long emptied of memories. The first time I am in Ireland when he dies, in old England and I did not know. A hand touches mine in the Irish peat dark from nowhere. It plays and strokes calmly and then unaccountably leaves. Leaving flowers and the smell of pipe tobacco. A sister asleep with eyes closed at the same time across the widest sea, as Ireland, yet reading aloud and turning pages in an illustrated book.. The Synchronizing of timeless effect and million to one chances happening every tattled tale time I looked around, in and under, in remorseless fogged fear. Finding this music only when I stopped listening and looking in the hiding place of plain sight. A caged cap cavalryman in a Priest hole chimney behind the horsehair and plaster of a friend and ancient farm. The walk across a wooden, yet carpeted floor with spurs a jingle. With his long straight pistol and long straight fluted sword all bright, all blood, all right. The monster sound crashing in the eldrich dark wood of illicit listless love with the girl that ran and ran and ran along the old railway into another woman. The place and line of decapitated Captains of failed industry suicide. All these, still many more, were list listed in the black books of before bright pagan burning, as always. As Sunshine therapy then. Did it work? Oh yes and strangely enough, no. © 2009 Ken Simm.

AN ABANDONED ONE-ROOM SCHOOLHOUSE EAST OF TIFFIN, OHIO THE FOLLOWING WAS WRITTEN BY DeaconBlues AS A COMMENT ON THIS IMAGE. I LIKE IT SO MUCH THAT HE HAS GIVEN ME HIS PERMISSION TO ADD IT. THANKS, DEACON…YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE AS GOOD A WRITER AS YOU ARE A PHOTOGRAPHER. “I can hear the Schoolbell ringing, calling the children to their studies. I hear their excited cries as they play in the schoolyard and then, at the end of the Day, begin their long walk home, their feet making dust-puffs in the Fall soil.”

Featured in Tulips – June 15, 2009 My poor old dilapidated wagon wheels seem to fall further apart as the years go by. Today I noticed they make beautiful natural frames for some Tulips in one of my flower beds, so off I went to photograph them. So they are still good for something. / / Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

BEST VIEWED LARGER The Main Street of Clunes, gotta love those clouds Nestling in a picturesque valley, a 25 minutes drive north of Ballarat, is Clunes, Victoria’s First Gold Town. Clunes was the site of the first official gold discovery in Victoria, made by James Esmoud on July 1st. 1851. Esmoud’s discovery triggered Victoria’s world famous gold rushes. / / Clunes remains one of the most original and intact gold towns in Australia and there are over 50 buildings of historical significance. Many reflect the opulence and confidence of the boom period of the 1850s. The Town Hall & Court House, the Churches, the several old bank buildings and the verandahed shops in the central part of the town provide the basis of a living museum. Today, Clunes has a population of only 850 but it has recently undergone a major transformation and resurgence following the decision by Wesley College, Australia’s largest co-educational private school, to establish a campus for Year 9 students. Each term, over 100 Wesley students take up residency in the ‘Wesley Village’, located in the town centre, and become part of the local community. Clunes has also been used as a film location site for such movies as ‘Mad Max’, the remake of the 1950s classic ‘On the Beach’ and recent ABC television series ‘Queen Kat, Carmel & St Jude’ and ‘Something in the Air’. and most recently the late Heath Ledgers Ned Kelly Clunes is centrally located to Ballarat, Daylesford, Maryborough and is within an easy drive to over 20 wineries / / Equipment – Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm lens, Manfrotto Tripod / Technique: HDR , 5 exposures bracketted.

An old farmhouse on a Christmas tree farm in the North Carolina mountains.
11/10/09 ~ Featured in Experimental group ~ Thank you!!! 11/8/09 ~ First runner up in the Scary challenge ~ All About Your Best Work group ~ Thank you!!! Ever have the feeling you’re being watched?? I layered and enhanced this image using Adobe Photoshop to create something spooky for Halloween. / The original photo of an old farmhouse in Clarks Valley (now gone) was taken during the day, layered with a photo of my daughter-in-law taken on Halloween, 2008.
The dilapidated barn appears to rise among the cornfields, becoming an integral element of the natural landscape. Photo taken in Somonauk, Illinois.
It was cold and rainy after sunset, but I just had to stop to grab another photo of this place. The abandoned farmhouse is located right in the middle of a large fertile field. Nobody has lived in here for a very long time. One chimney has collapsed, vines block the locked doors and warped clapboards are falling off of the frame. The building has tons of “character”, but it just sits there… waiting to fall. If “walls could talk”, I’m sure there would be a wealth of keenly interesting stories to tell. This photo was taken with a Canon EOS 10D DSLR camera through a Canon EF 35-350mm f/3.5-5.6L telephoto zoom lens @ 75mm focal length. The shutter speed was 1/2 sec at f/11. The camera’s ISO was set to 100. A Manfrotto tripod was used with a remote shutter release. Your comments are always welcome!
