Shade Tree and Porch
Posted by john4jack (Corvallis, Oregon, United States) on 8 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Houses with these magnificent porches are wonderful. And that massive shade tree will be very welcome this summer. Antique sepia seemed just right.
The little things. Yesterday, a number of you commented on the gate in the lower right corner. It's another authentication of how the little things often make such a big difference.

sepia gives a better effect

This house looks wonderful, it's quite different from European houses, I like wooden-made houses like this and I like trees around the houses too! ;-) very nice sepia picture!

You just don't see this much anymore, unless of course it's an older structure. There is a certain kind of "Gone With The Wind" kind of romance to this...lovely!

It is rare, these days, to see someone building a house with porches all around the outside. Where I came from the "bug" problem was serious enough to warrant screening porches in, but they look best, to me, when open like this one. This is a beautiful, large home and with this toning and the vignetting it makes a fine picture.

Everything about this image is perfect, the composition, sephia tone, and soft edges.
Very impressive scene. Really a great image.

Fantastic shot and processing with the vignette, such a grand old house, must be nice on the porch in summer with the shade of the tree

I like the soul of houses, here still I'm seduced by your photography and this veil which makes it mysterious.

Great composition. The house an porch seems secondary to the magnitude of the shade tree.
P.S. Great quote.

BEautiful house, nice processing. YEs, I agree the porch can mke of break a house. We added one to ours after 20 years last year and still can;t get enough of it.

c'est comme une image qui sortirait d'un conte, les nuages sortent de la collines comme une fumée vaporeuse, excellent traitement des gris et des blancs.
