Critique Welcomed Some from today

[Bob Jarman]

From a trip to Callaway Plantation - carpenter shop, blacksmith shop. 14mm on X-Pro1, tripod.

Thanks for looking,

Bob

Very clean shots, Bob. I'd love to visit this place. You couldn't resist the sepia button, could you? Very appropriate.

Gorgeous stuff, Bob. Love the way the light picks out the cartwheel and the light bleeding in around the door and gaps between the boards in the last.

I think old barns and out buildings are such great places to photograph. The light inside is often sublime and the old tools and machinery fascinating.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I have to agree with all above. I also get ideas about such a place and a person model in this environment. Lovely done images.

 

[Bob Jarman]

Thank you everyone, happy you enjoy the images. And yes, I do enjoy rich, warmer images, hence the sepia or something closely akin.

This was my 3rd visit, taking a more measured approach and using a tripod with cable release even. I too am happy with the cleanliness of the results. Photography is not permitted inside the furnished structures.

The property has been owned by family with the name Callaway since 1786, just yesterday by historical measures in your part of the world I suspect. Seeing it, and the crafts area helps one appreciate the necessary skills to succeed from that period forward - hardly like today where the solution is to simply "discard this and go buy another". Many of you who shoot film probably feel similarly? Given predominately wood construction of out buildings and the ubiquitous termite and fires, few original structures have been saved.

I shall post some exteriors as time permits.

Thanks again,

Bob
