16th Century Farmhouse

Posted by bronzebilly u.k. (Barry,Vale of Glamorgan, United Kingdom) on 8 November 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

2nd house in the St.Fagans Museum series..
This farmhouse was built about 1550,due to it's size ,it must have been a fairly wealthy landowner at the time ...

Fabulous. Stylewise, this reminds me of the first Led Zepplin album cover I ever bought (from way-back days)... Cool image, Billy.

15th century and it's still standing? Wow! Interesting eh? I really love to look at those old buildings you know because every brick of it tells a story about the past.

btw, I made a reply to your comment, I don't know if it will reach you. Thanks for the visits, I really appreciate it. :)

Really nice processing WelshBiillyBoy! Really reminded me of some old houses I did once and I couldn't for the life of me think how I did this darned processing!!!??? Well, darn it, I've just remembered - it was on film, not digital - and I was experimenting with lithograph developer for prints and got this effect! (too many of these senior's moments I am having!). I think you need to use a perspective tool to pull out those top corners and keep the building straight when you've used a 28 mm lens. (Wide angle distortion). After all Billy! It's stood up straight for such a long time (maybe it didn't before they rebuilt it?) All kidding aside its a truly nice image! I've got a bloody "thing" about perspectives being "straight" - yer know - like seas and horizons that run downhill, and vertical walls that lean in from each side at the top! ;-)

Old houses scare me, too much history. I love to look at them but I wouldn't want to live in one.
