Title: Castleton Barn and Tree
Post by: blueview on May 21, 2016, 11:24:37 am: Hi first time poster and fledgling photographer here.

This is a long derelict farm building and dead tree in the fields high above the village of Castleton in the English Peak District.

Edited in Silver Efex Pro. All constructive pointers welcome! Thanks.

I would have been tempted to move a few feet to the right and see if separating the tree from the ruined barn made for a better image.

Welcome, Doug.

I agree with Bill about this.

You have some good stuff on your Flickr page. I've been meaning to do some dusk shots of Salford Quays for some time: you might have given me just the prod I needed.

Jeremy yes Media City is great for blue hour, especially if the skies are favourable.

Here's another one of the barn/home from a different angle:
