Little House On The Lecht


ian cameron

This small vacant possession is said to be haunted. I can't vouch for the authenticity of this statement but it is certainly boarded up against intruders and I've never seen anyone near it. It never-the-less stands in a beautiful location by a sinuous stream and in the shadow of a bracken patterned hill. I photographed it with autumn sunlight streaming in to illuminate the roof of the house but also against an area of shadow from the hillside opposite to help it stand out. The hot colours of the sunlit bracken slopes contrast delightfully with the cool reflected blue sky in the stream.NEW Photographic workshops / masterclasses at TRANSIENT LIGHT.

Indeed an appealing shot! ...but way down the list?? (last 3 days) This should have been high up.. instead of some of the horrible overrated shots that shows up even on the first page.

I am an ardent admirer of your work, I consider you to be a better photographer than me and when all the comments are all very positive, one is somewhat intimidated to step off the track just a little. Here goes: The light is tricky and you seem to have caught it superbly. In fact the light is a very appealing element in this image. I also love the blue-yellow combination of colors, the clarity, DOF and natural colors. My sense tells me that the building is the center of attraction but yet the watery lead-in consumes a fairly large percentage of the image. This lead-in has an attractive blue with light colored areas and my eyes are drawn to this area - in fact - I find myself going from building to the water repeatedly as if they were in competition. Crossing the stream and shooting it from the right side may have given a different perspective to this image. Don't get me wrong, this is a fine photo and I have just given you an artistic sense of how I feel about it and I may be talking out of my hat. best regards,
