Roadside Shack Photo

Photographer’s Note

I found this poorly maintained little building along a countryside road…

The low light is typical for the season we are now entering, and the days are noticeably shorter for each week passing.

But there will still be many photo opportunities, they are just different ones!

- Nice old dilapidated shack Pablo, sadly lost in the snow, the atmosphere is a little sad but it was the opportunity for you to make a nice shot, bravo!
Have a nice sunday.

Good morning Pablo!
A very atmospheric one! The texture of the wood creates a wonderful contrast to the rest of the scenery - and otherwise it somehow fits to it. One can feel cold here.
I like how you included the wonderful wide landscape here.
Greetings from grey and rainy Germany! Have a nice Sunday!

Hi Pablo.
There are always photo opportunities, just sometimes we need more enthusiasm to get out and take advantage of them ;-). Nice catch, well balanced composition and good use of colour. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good week, Paul.

jhm (83131) 2009-10-11 3:48

Hello Pablo,

You found a old picture in your winter archive, perhaps get we next month the next winter, the old house is nice placed to the left side.
Sharpness and clarity be superb.
This is fantastic depth and good perspective.
Real colours, the choice of your angle this gives more dynamic.
Good composition and nice presentation. TFS.

Have a nice sunday,
John.

Hello Pablo,
Very nice POV, very nice composed picture, very good contrast, clarity and sharpness.
Have a nice Sunday, Vasilis.

npecanhuk (14456) 2009-10-11 4:14

Hello Pablo!
Beautiful image!
A simple but quite effective, successful and truly attractive composition!
Level of sharpness, exposure and colors are pretty suitable to this photograph!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

pierrefonds (26545) 2009-10-11 5:19

Hi Pablo,

The point of view takes our eyes toward the mountains which is giving depth to the composition. It is also showing the details and colors of the old barn. The reflection of the light on the snow is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

belido (16727) 2009-10-11 5:57

Hi Pablo,

lovely detail of the "poor" building in a cold winter day. Your image translates well all that atmosphere you talk about in the note. I like a lot how you composed, showing part of the snowed mountains in the background e reserving the left half of the image for the textures of the old façade. Well done!
Regards,
Carlos

jusninasirun (10211) 2009-10-11 7:21

Hi Pablo.

I like the close framing exposing fine details of this shack. The weed popping out of the white snow adds impact to this shot. Dreamy view of the mountain and I'm sure the snow is slowly making its way to the ground soon in Norway.

Best regards and thanks for sharing.

Urs (3142) 2009-10-11 7:23

Dear Pablo

The low light can be seen, it must be depressing when the day light gets shorter and shorter. It's a fine shot with bold FG and more discrete BG. Due to the bad light the snow get a blue hint, but the colors in general have a find saturation. Sharpness is high. Well done

best regards
Urs

Budapestman (42610) 2009-10-11 8:13

Dear Pablo,
beautiful photo with calm and romantic mood, very well balanced composition, superb details and clarity. Have a nice Sunday, my friend!
George

gervaso (5586) 2009-10-11 8:25

Hello, Pablo!

The reddish color of the wall is beautiful in the middle of the snow! Beautiful colors and contrast! I also like these branches beside the house! Wonderful composition! Good job!

darek1978 (11399) 2009-10-11 9:34

Hi Pablo,
Great winter picture. Nice contrast between the snow and this warm wood colour of the building. And the snowy scenery behind is just wonderful. Well done!
Have a nice evening,
Darek

Cricri (43524) 2009-10-11 10:25

Hello Pablo
Bien pensé ce cadrage, ça permet d'apprécier les alentours tout en donnant un contraste assez frappant,
belle image

BeBeHooker (5966) 2009-10-11 10:35

Hi Pablo!
Original picture. Good colors. Very fine exposure. Nice light and bright. Good sharpness.
Cheers!

TravelerNL (2967) 2009-10-11 11:20

Hi Pablo,
A little bit of red left in between black, white & various grey tones.
Good compo using a bit more then half the photo for the barn and the rest to show the snowy forest on the mountain slopes. Must be lots of (fresh) deep snow that the forest looks pretty white.
Thanks for sharing,
Harko

Uhu (7424) 2009-10-11 12:03

Very classic for the Norway! Quite a interesting compostion - scenery are subdivided on three - with snow on the foreground, valley and a mountains on the background.
Great work!

feather (49986) 2009-10-11 13:08

The tight framing on the ramshackle old shed is unusual and it works very well here. The faded colours of the shed contrast well with the monochrome background.
Kath

emka (22091) 2009-10-11 14:20

Hi Pablo, my first thought was you have winter already. Maybe, but this is January photo. Great contrast of this faded red shack and the snow. Wow, I do not envy you the autumn and winter. You should like birds fly somewhere south to have more light.

Regards

Malgorzata

The wrecked timbered house still witness its location. I wondered you haven`t framed it utterly.It looks to a beautifull valley. The erected leaveless plants certainly will bloom at the proper time. They add a good effect in the picture. Regards. Domingos

ChrisJ (70393) 2009-10-11 23:27

Hi Pablo

Nice warm cold colour contrasts between the red & blue. Good sharpness & well composed. Tfs!

AiresSantos (42714) 2009-10-11 23:41

Hi dear Pablo
Fine perspective of the mountains covered by snow
I like this perspective with the house stand in foreground and also the dry grasses
Fine sharpness and depth
Have a nice week
Aires

Longroute (9689) 2009-10-12 1:09

Hello Pablo,

you have a good skill in selecting the essential out of a landscape. This shakle with the snow and the distant mountains evokes the Norwigian scenery rather than describe it. It's an image which possesses a strong icon-like feature, transporting at once the observer in that particular ambiance.

Best regards,
Donato

Philippe (11785) 2009-10-12 5:43

Hi, Pablo. Even though it's in a poor condition, I like this barn very much. We can see it has gone through lots of winters! I like the contrast of the red paint with the snow and the trees on the hills. A very nice winter mood.
Have a nice day,
Philippe

jlbrthnn (38667) 2009-10-12 7:15

Hello Pablo,
This adorable hut is a beautiful element of your composition. Its dilapidated aspect, adds nostalgia and poetry to the image. The winter creates a beautiful decoration, with this photograph which has much pronfondor in addition. Beautiful realization. Cheer.
Have a nice day
Cordially
Joël

Nicou (45471) 2009-10-12 10:18

Hello,

fantastiqeu image, quelle belle vielle cabane avec la nneige, la couleur sur le bois est grandiose, mangigique.

Bravoe t amitié

Nicou

UlfE (9096) 2009-10-12 10:36

Hei Pablo,

Since the you had captured the first snow fall of the year in your previous picture I thought that this was a follow up but then I realised it was taken in January 2007. You have captured the mood of a cold and cloudy winter day in Scandinavia. The close up the wall of the barn works well here. It adds some colour to the scene. TFS and have a fine week!

Hälsningar

Ulf

Silvio1953 (42533) 2009-10-12 11:20

Ciao Pablo, wonderful winter view with a lot of snow and poor wooden building, splendid light and colors, very well done, have a good week, ciao Silvio

Royaldevon (5938) 2009-10-12 12:40

Hello Pablo,

You have provided strong contrasts with this shot.
The f/g is dominated by the red, dilhapidated building, sharp and textured. The ground beyond is natural, neutrally coloured and gently blurring with distance.
A well composed, thought evoking shot.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

AKITA (5487) 2009-10-12 13:35

dear Pablo,
an excellent picture of the very tasteful shack in the snowy field.
this husky red color, half broken wooden wall, whole figure of it are superb,
this sorrowful feeling is my favorite, it shows me lots of imagination of it and of this field.
colors, composition, atmosphere are very expressive,
thank you for your picturesque shot,
Akihisa

Graal (58515) 2009-10-12 23:54

Hi Pablo,
amazing place and presentation. Fine colours and contrast. Good note also. Well photojob.
Gr., Aleksander

anducina (8129) 2009-10-13 1:57

Hi Pablo,
When I first saw that photo, I had a shock-it could not be such a weather in Norway now in October, I thought. Then I saw it is an older picture taken in January 2007. Excellent simple compo, with the distant snow-covered mountains, the winter sky, the old red barn and those dried plants in the FG. Simple and effective compo.
TFS,
Andreea

celmaleite (2838) 2009-10-13 3:21

Olá, Pablo!
Muito bonita a imagem e bonito também o contraste das cores e a neve. Uma composição atraente. Parabéns!

Greg1949 (8513) 2009-10-13 4:41

Pablo, nice capture, interesting lighting too, and I think it works really well. The fg detail is awesome.

Greg

Waylim (11073) 2009-10-13 10:32

Hi Pablo,
A rustic and abandoned place can make a good photography subject, especialy with the right light condition. This one is of a more melodramatic tone due to the low light and snow. tfs.

yedirenk (7519) 2009-10-13 13:00

Hi dear Pablo,
great textures and details in foreground with superb cadrage and cropping..colours and textures are excellent.very impressive scene and atmosphere..an eye catcher simplicity..TFS

Hi Pablo,
interesting picture of this humble house, and the color contrast is beautiful. I like of the snow texture too. Great job, my friend.

foozi (4735) 2009-10-13 19:17

Hi Pablo,
nice captured scenery with good graphical presentation. I like the dried shrubs that give an outstanding colour contrast with the snow.
The beauty of the snow is lovely.

Bonsoir, cher Pablo,
Une grange vénérable qui résiste au temps ; la neige environnante et les montagnes semblent la regarder avec respect.
Une photo réalisée avec bonheur, soin et poésie.
Amitiés.
Philippe

gneufeld (15233) 2009-10-14 16:17

Hi Pablo,
I like your perspective in this one. My temptation would have been to step back further and photograph the whole scene. What I like about your shot is that it really gives details of the old barn boards and the condition of the building. The tall grasses in the snow tend to give a timeless feel to this one. TFS. Gerald

plimrn (19688) 2009-10-14 17:22

Hi Pablo,
Very nice contrast between the warm tones of the wood and the cold. blue snow and hillside. The reeds are an important part of the compo.
HLJ, Pat

Emile (20051) 2009-10-14 19:59

Hola Pablo.
Magnificent winter scene with the old wooden barn and the snow covered field on a grey day, very well captured from a good POV. Very good composition.
Have a nice day.

shevchenko (10016) 2009-10-14 20:27

Hi Pablo,
Lovely snowy world, good color and lighting to show the pure white snow, clear to show also the snow cover all the land, thanks for sharing past year winter view.
Ally

josepmarin (33989) 2009-10-15 5:14

Hi Pablo,
The contrast between this wooden building poorly maintained and the landscape covered with snow is strong, I like the sensation of cold that produces to look at this scene, which you have caught skillfully in this winter capture.
Beautiful work.
Friendly regards,
Josep

Kielia (8659) 2009-10-15 8:25

Hi Pablo,
excellently composed impression and a fascinating view on the wintery landscape! Very beautiful colors. And it is very interesting to study the decaying shack that matches very well the uncomfortable atmosphere. My compliments!
Warm regards
Harriet

ciakgiak (11064) 2009-10-15 10:40

Ciao Pablo,
paesaggio di neve spettacolare, molto bello il POV con la casa in primo piano e le montagne sullo sfondo. Colori e luce sono fantastici, una scena davvero bella e suggestiva. Bravissimo.
Un caro abbraccio.
Giorgio

Linda imagem mostrando a gelada paisagem. Até sinto aqui o frio que exala da bonita composição. Muito boa.

molla (6889) 2009-10-16 3:16

Winter came remained silent this year, I see, there lies something special with the early October snow so beautifully contrasts with the more clear the light and colors that have not sat down in winter dormancy

jafadabret (40137) 2009-10-16 4:52

Bonjour Pablo.
Bientôt l'hiver et ses courtes journées glacées, c'est ce qu'on peut penser en voyant cette photo. La cabane est bien en mauvais état dans ce paysage de neige.
Une photo très réussie.
Amicalement
Jacques

JCG (25651) 2009-10-16 8:57

Hello Pablo,

Here on Versailles not yet of snow, but the cold decides to come !!! Interesting foreground to emphasize this undulating landscape in background. A hut which must certainly be used as shelter with the animals… Good glance Pablo.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Jean-Charles

mvdisco (11593) 2009-10-16 19:26

Hi Pablo,
I love this composition of the barn in winter on a country side road,
Excellent POV. and presentation,
beautiful colors and light.
I like it..
all my compliments
Michel

Angshu (33985) 2009-10-16 20:56

Hello Pablo
An interesting combination of colours with the fading red of the old hut contrasting with the pristine white of the snow and almost monochrome colours in the BG. The tall grasses render a nice perspective as well...well done!
Regards
Angshu

alvaraalto (5285) 2009-10-19 13:26

Hi Pablo,

One of our TE-members was uploading a picture today with an old lady behind the windows somewhere in Rome and was complaining that she couldn’t go outside for it was too cold. She is very lucky that she wasn’t born in this shed.
Excellent picture with the lost colours and lost shape of the shed.

Groet Rob

mikolaj_kawa (30927) 2009-10-24 9:26

Hello Pablo! Good capture, perfect exposure, ideal texture, very good contrast and sharpness. Nice frame. Well done!

skippy007 (7273) 2009-10-25 15:31

Hello Pablo, This old shack makes for an interesting scene, the warm reds contrast well with the cold white snow, although in ruin could offer some comfort.
When I first saw this I thought winter has arrived a little early in your part of the country but your note & date tells me a different story, It is not that could yet. Nice one.
Thank you
Regards
Santo

gunbud (28073) 2009-10-26 17:53

Hi Pablo,
Looks like this old farm building has seen its better days.
The treeless blue mountains and silver blue sky make a very effective backdrop to this stark winter image.
Regards, Tom

maloutim (4007) 2009-10-28 0:41

Bonjour Pablo!
That's what I thought when I saw the miniature! Winter is nearly there in Norway, so it's time to think of seasonal photographs!
Very simple but authentic composition. I like the state of the barn and the dry grass in the foreground, as well as the far away valley and mounts! Good compo!
Best regards!
Marie Louise.

Hansaphotos (589) 2009-11-05 0:13

Hello Pablo

I really like your subject. Nice composition with the red old shack placed to the left. Excellent colours and use of light. Good framing. Well done! Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day.
