Photographer's Note

Stara Srpska kuca na kisi ...

Stara Srpska kuca na selu.
Kuca ovog podneblja je sa krovom na cetiri vode, sirokom strehom i tremom, belih zidova i crvenim krovom od crepa, ima dve prostorije, jedna koja se zvala kuca i u njoj je bilo ognjiste, druga koja se zvala soba i imala je trem ispred ulaznih vrata, prozori su bili mali a vrata od drveta.
Kuca je gradjena od drvenih greda izmedju kojih su pletene drvene letve, zidovi su oblozeni glinom u koju je stavljana slama, bojene su krecom i bile bele.
Kuce su leti bile hladne, a zimi tople, imale su izolaciju od prirodnih materijala.
Krov je pravljen od greda i letvi na kojima je stavljan crep.

Old Serbian house in the rain ...

Old Serbian houses in the countryside.
Houses in this region with four roof water, wide eaves and porch, white walls and red roof of tiles, there are two rooms, one of which was called the house, and there was a fireplace, the other called room and had a porch at the front door , the windows were small and wooden doors.
The house was built of wooden beams which are woven between the wooden slats, the walls are lined with clay that was placed in the straw, were stained with Lime and were white.
The houses are flying too cold, and warm in winter, had insulation made of natural materials.
The roof was made of beams and planks on which was placed tile.

See photos of the workshop.

Hello Pavle,

the rain makes the house look even sadder ... however, what I like a lot in this photo are the warm colors of the soil, the wall and the roof.
It´s a pity - this little house would look so charming in it was newly painted and if there was a small garden with flowers around it. I can imagine that ...

Bonjour Pavle
Une bonne idée d'avoir immortalisé cette vieille maison qui va continuer à se délabrer au fil des mois.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hi Pavle,
Sad home but great image. Similar photogenic, though sad, homes in advanced stages of neglect can be found throughout Australia.

HI Pavle,looks like the pics available on a real estate..ehhee..very nice idea to dedicate your attention to these old and abandoned country houses,there is a piece of your history inside.Great details and colors despite the cloudy day.Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano

Hi Pavle,
This is certainly not a beautiful building, but this is still an interesting picture. This must be what a real estate agent woyld call "a renovation object" or maybe "something for he handy man". The roof seems to be intact, so maybe some repairs could be of value.
Kind regards
Gunnar

Well documented Pavle, especially how the decay had taken over it's walls.
Good photo and the note, describe the situation as it really is.
Have a nice afternoon.

Hello Pavle,
A very nice composition of this old house. Rich with textures. colors and materials. I like the shape of the roof tiles. And I also like the broken wall where the cooncrete are see and create an interesting structure.
Have a nice evening,
Regards,
Maria

adramad (27550) 2013-03-13 9:18

Hello Pavle.
Very good composition, but a shame to see the ruin of these cottages, which in the past had activity and life ..... but now a sad picture of abandonment to destruction.
Nice range of color tones.
Very good lighting and sharpness.
It is a splendid work. I love it.
Enjoy a good day.
Best regards.
Luis.

Hello Paja,
this cottage looks like the little houses in children's drawings and it's a sad thing that it's so abandoned and desolate now. I like your elegant and comprehensive composition as well as the perfectly clear details and textures that describe the scenery so eloquently. The moody light and colours enhance the melancholic atmosphere and make the impact of the image very strong. The workshop pictures and your note make the presentation quite thorough. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

Cricri (86391) 2013-03-13 11:31

Hi Paja
Il est dommage de voir cette maison a l'abandon, qui mériterait d'être mise en bon état, l'endroit en plus semble agréable, beaucoup de maison abandonné dans votre pays, les jeunes semble préférer la ville , aussi pour leurs travail....
Belle soirée

tedesse (22116) 2013-03-13 12:43

Hello Pavle!
Good view of the old, damaged, abandoned house!
Good POV and DOF, nice composition.
Beautiful colors, good sharpness.

Tadeusz

Hello Pavle,
Cuprija, and maybe all of Serbia, seems to be filled with these sadly neglected houses, abandoned long ago and today not wanted by anyone, hopelessly too much ruined to be ever restored. Long ago they served their owners well, in times when less comfort was expected. You do an important job by documenting these houses before they are gone and forgotten. Besides, The colours and light are very good and the POV is well chosen.
Kind regards,
Gert
PS, Sorry, I didn't notice I had used my points for today ;-)

Hello Paja.
I like the details of the texture on the wall. Good framing keeping the whole house in the frame.
Thanks for sharing and have a nice day.

Hello Pavle,

You're capturing well this house by a good angle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the structure of the house which is using the material which considers keeping warm and heat insulation as you note well. It's tasteful, although it looks like old house in counryside. It's impressive in field covered with the straw in front of a house, too.

Kind regards,
mikio

danos (73960) 2013-03-14 9:30

Have a good afternoon,Danos

Hello Paja,

Ten year after the WAR II saw we the same houses here in Belgium, but in the sixties are all these houses in Belgium disappeared for new houses.
I find your picture very well and shows us perfectly your country.
Excellent composition, good presentation too.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John

abmdsudi (26215) 2013-03-16 8:22

Hi Pavle
This shot renders a nostalgic feel but atmospheric and so meaningful to you, and thanks to your notes Excellent exposure for the natural light conditions and the viewpoint is effective while keeping the point of interest in sharp focus and you really brings out the textures in the stonework under this circumstances but with an appealing shot no doubt although it's indeed in sad state in need of repairs badly. A fine photo works, Congrats.
Kind regards

Kielia (20411) 2013-03-16 9:35

Hi Paja,
this is really a sad sight! You are presenting an excellently composed impression of the poor house taken from a very well working POV. There are so many details to discover! Thanks for sharing!
Warm regards

Hola Pävle

Interesting note to learn how these houses are built, quite different material than in Argentine
Like the POV, the soft colors and frame
A pity not to salve that kind of house
Greetings and TFS

I want to pick this house up and hug it!
The colours are so warm and strong and the house looks like it was loved in its day.
A great photo.

Hallo Pavle,

Een fotogenieke huis: het straalt geschiedenis
af en het wil een verhaal vertellen.
Het sobere weer past er goed bij. Foto is
verder goed verdeeld en belicht.

Vriendelijke groeten,
Robert

p.s. je maakt mij nieuwsgierig welke
professionele fotograaf uit Nederland
mee kijkt. Mocht hij, of zij, een
assistent zoeken, ik hoor het graag.

----------------------------------------------

Hello Pavle,

A photogenic house. You cab tast almost the history
and it seems almost that the house wants to tell an
story. The gloomy weather fits very well. Light
management and composition are good.

Friendly regards,
Robert

P.S. you make me curious who the
professional photographer from Netherlands
is. Should he, or she, search assistant, I
like to hear it.
