Castleton Barn and Tree

[blueview]

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.

No pointers from me. A very nice contribution, and lots of good things on flickr. Welcome!

Welcome Doug?
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.

+1 (without the question mark, though )

Thanks guys. I realise as well I should have had the tripod higher to avoid that mound of grass in the bottom right. Would have seen more of the building also. Thanks again.

You've got an alternative take on the barn on your Flickr page - I much prefer that one for both composition & processing

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:

I think that's probably the one Bill and I were referring to. I prefer it.

This second one is a much more dynamic composition.

Yep, that's the badger (as my kids would say)
