Old Farmhouse at sunset

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted February 19, 2012454 views13 comments

Last weekend the clouds building seemed promising, so we headed out to a local farm I have access to. The sunset ended up being a total blinder. These old farmhouse ruins always make for good compositional elements.

Techs:
Nikon D3s with Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8
f11 @ ISO-200
Blend of 3 exposures

Sweet light. The color of the sky in the upper left nicely balances the color of the stone in the lower right. A beautiful and well composed image.

Morkel, This is really pretty. I really like the composition you chose for this. The colors are beautiful and I love that warm glow on the grass and stones. Very nice!

Morkel, fantastic photo!

We made a mistake on the WP - this photo was posted on the 19th, but the WP week (last week) was the 12th through the 18th. So, your photo is eligible for the next round of WPs.

Our sincere apologies for the mix up!

Thanks Jim for the comment and explanation - no worries - I didn't check the dates for applicability myself...
