azzo Posted September 14, 2009 Share #5 Â Posted September 14, 2009 Des, Â Lovely location beautifulyy composed and captured. Could be even enhanced further with a touch of PS Levels IMHO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DES Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share #6 Â Posted September 14, 2009 Thanks Pete, Paul, Robert & Ivan. Ivan, I tried to use levels to improve things after your comments, but somehow I could'nt get a good outcome, either the sky got blown out or the building too dark.!! What I might try is a HDR version! This old farm house obviously had a fantastic view back in the day, but was abandoned after subsidence due to mining. What a great shame.

bluebear Posted September 15, 2009 Share #7 Â Posted September 15, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) A lovely image! Thanks for sharing. IMHO I don't think you will get it much better, although I'd be interested in seeing an HDR version if you do one. Whereabouts was this taken in Swaledale? I was there for a week's landscape photography course last summer (2008) and stayed in Reeth - we did Muker, Ancram etc. A lovely part of the country.

DES Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share #8 Â Posted September 15, 2009 Hi bluebear, thanks for the kind words. This is Crackpot Hall, it is on the coast to coast route, and is found above Keld. A fantastic site, but then I am just mad about the area. BTW If you look at my B&W album you will see another shot of the area, the one you mentioned Muker.

thompsonkirk Posted September 16, 2009 Share #9 Â Posted September 16, 2009 A beautiful, classic landscape with a truly lovely choice of vantage-points. When we were there I took pictures - dull ones - of the river from the front of the ruins & never thought of climbing farther up the hill!

Garfink Posted September 24, 2009 Share #14 Â Posted September 24, 2009 Is it just me or is it a little tilted anticlockwise? Maybe it is just me, as there isn't a clear point of reference (horizon) in the photo. Otherwise, love it. Nice clouds for you that day and classic foreground and back ground subjects with the meandering line through the composition that seem to start at the building in the foreground. Magic spot that you have there. Â Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickp13 Posted September 24, 2009 Share #15  Posted September 24, 2009 well done, des.  you answered my question in your later comment - why someone hadn't yet purchased this property for the view. "subsidence" means it's sinking? therefore unsafe to restore??  cheers  rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted September 24, 2009 Share #16 Â Posted September 24, 2009 DES - Â Lovely in every way, most especially for the tonal richness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodc Posted September 24, 2009 Share #17 Â Posted September 24, 2009 DES, Â Silverprint comes to mind. Love the way you kept the greys 'alike'. Â Harry Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DES Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share #18 Â Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) Thank you all for the kind words. Eric I think you could be right, the far hill is not level but more level than I show here. I will work on this..thanks. Rick, yes you have the meaning of "subsidence" spot on, ( Your English is a lot better than my German) mines are located all over this area, and it has been allowed to fall apart since the 50s /60s Hodc Thank you I like that.
