Kingsley Plantation Photo

Photographer’s Note

Kingsley Plantation (also known as the Zephaniah Kingsley Plantation Home and Buildings) is a historic plantation in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. It is located at the northern tip of Fort George Island at Fort George Inlet, and is part of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. Previously, it was a state park within the Florida Park Service. It was transferred to the National Park Service in 1989. On September 29, 1970, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The plantation was originally 1,000 acres, most of which has been taken over by forest; the structures and grounds of the park now comprise approximately 60 acres. The park has a unique historic significance: the plantation house is the oldest still standing in the state of Florida,and the remains of the slave quarters are a rare remnant from Antebellum American life.

Asa the 10-22 lens can be tricky to use for wide angle buildings like this. I love the results here in this frame though and like how the chimney is dead on vertical. Also perfect balance of white blue and green in the frame yielding simplicity and yet pleasant viewing. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Asa,

The palm trees are framing well the house. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the plantation house. The light of the afternoon has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi Asa,
Quite a special historic place. Surprisingly well preserved, telling about aspects of history not to be proud of. But architecture is charming. Good sunny atmosphere.

Hello Asa,
Best regards
The sky makes a really amazing background for this beautiful house. The trees are nice too. Perfect shapness and great colours. I like the point of view you chose. The gradation of colours is excelent(the green grass in the foreground, the white house in the middle and the blue sky at the top). The light is well managed. Good job!
Best regards
Denis!

Nice one Asa, and while the shot is nice I am happy that the fall has arrived up here. That kind of heat into the autumn does nothing for me. In this one you have handled the white and reflections very nicely, great stuff.

The historical house is higher interest, like fragile testimony, one completed time. The photograph of excellent quality skilfully describes the whole of constructions and the framework of nature. The light and colors, as well as clearness are excellent. Cheer.

Hello Asa,

This is a lovely building!
The focus is pin-sharp, capturing the details of form, shape and textures, beautifully.
You have managed the light well ... it can be a real problem on white buildings!

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hello Asa,

Superb residence where the element which unquestionably hangs the eye, is the chimney !!! I like much the harmony of the colors of the composition and this effect of relief in the image. Beautiful and interesting photograph, thank you Asa.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Jean-Charles

Hi Asa,
What a lovely blue sky with tranquil wispy clouds for this unique southern architecture to stand out against.
Very clean crisp sharp image.
TE thinks Jacksonville is in South Florida.

Hello Asa,

This is a fine old house with some interesting features!
I notice the platform on the roof and also the eye-catching chimney that must be a later addition...
The point of view works well, a well balanced composition!

Greetings,
