One for Pablo Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi all. This is one for Pablo’s barns of the world theme. Not strictly a barn but as close as we get here in NZ. This is a Woolshed. The main function of this shed is somewhere to shear sheep. But having a set of stock yards attached, this is where the bulk of the stock work gets done also, such as drenching, dipping, crutching etc.
In many rural areas the woolsheds are the largest buildings around and are used for social gatherings also. In fact Sue and I had our wedding after function in the woolshed on Sue’s parents farm.
This woolshed is on the Turakina Valley road about one hours drive from Turakina township.
In WS another angle with more PP.
Enjoy, Paul.

Hello Paul,
A quick check tells me this is the first barn from not only NZ but also the Southern hemisphere all together!
And a fine specimen it is, fully qualified indeed...
A well composed presentation, good details in the structure!
Greetings,
Pablo -

This is a very good picture to be added to Pablo’s theme. I have been myself trying to get one but no luck up to now. You have a perfect definition and we can see all the textures on the barn walls. The colours are also very good as it is the POV. Well done.

Hi Paul

A nice tribute to pablo. I like the colour contrast of warm vs cold between the blue sky & yellow & red of the cottage. Tfs!

Hi Paul,
a real lack of red! But a nice barn. The b&w has in my eyes a more punchy POV. Good strong contrasts and colours (not in the b&w ;-)
Nice addition for Pablo.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Paul,
A "woolshed" - thats a term we don't know about in Canada! I love barns so this shot caught my attention immediately. I really like the grey barn-board but was just thinking, this shot would have worked well too if the bottom were cropped just abit. None the less, a striking shot and thanks for sharing. Gerald

darrasin (2860) 2007-08-25 14:22

Hello Paul! Yes it's fun to shoot with a theme in mind helps to stimulate the creative juices. Weathered structures with lots of character like this one make great photos. I wonder how this would look converted to BW.

Hello Paul,

A down to earth scene with very nice sky and foreground. Colours and sharpness are very well. tfs

Hi Paul,
Nice low POV on this old barn, with typical wood architecture, with excellent sharpness of details... could be a bit brighter but nothing serious...! ;D

Hi Paul,
A good sample of the rural architecture in your country, with its function very well explained in your note.
Nice photo, with good exposure and a few natural colors of soft tones, with a good definition and high quality of image.
Good work.
Best regards,
Josep

jafadabret (40369) 2007-08-27 10:51

Paul, cette bâtisse a beaucoup de caractère tout en étant très utilitaire. C'est bien dans l'esprit de TE pour montrer la vie quotidienne et les métiers dans le monde. Photo très soignée et bien documentaire.
Jacques

danyy (69499) 2007-08-27 14:24

Bonjour Paul,
un coin du monde d'où ne nous parviennent pas beaucoup de photos, ou du moins pas assez car cette contrée a su garder le charme sauvage.
Beaucoup de naturel dans cette photo, maison modeste, mais situé dans un endroit tellement calme et accueillant que tu photo rend bien.
Bets regards.
Daniel.

Floydian (30970) 2007-08-28 0:28

Hallo Paul,
Nice to see these old barns, there's always a large story behind them. The mood is dark which only enhance that feeling from a long time ago...very nice.
I would clone out the wires on the left, but that's just a small detail.
Have a nice day, Henk

AiresSantos (42964) 2007-08-28 0:46

Hi Paul,
Very nice dedication to our friend Pablo !
Excellent POV and colours. I like how you framed the picture and details
TFS and have a nice week

Hello Paul!
Great old house!
It's very rare now!
Good composition and details!
Best regards!

PixelTerror (86861) 2007-08-28 2:57

Hi Paul,
For sure a fitting post for Pablo, we all know how he likes barns, and I don't dislike them either, nice specimen with great wooden textures and a good luminous impression from this image.
Have a nice day,
JEan-Yves

Bonjour Paul,
Elle est pleine de caractères ce vieille batisse,elle a résister aux rigueurs des saisons ce qui lui donne ces bois aux teintes délavées.

Very nice perspective,

Bonsoir, cher Paul,
Je tiens tout d'abord à vous féliciter pour votre album. Vous avez un don pour mettre en valeur la nature qui nous entoure.
Ici, encore, le spectacle est ravissant.
Admitation.
Amitiés.

Hi Paul. This is a fine photo and well labelled to our Norwegian friend. It is real NZ oosing from this classic farm shed. Memories of many farm visits years ago. TFS. Murray.

robertosalguero (110) 2007-08-30 0:20

Woolshed is close enough to a barn. Both are used for storage anyway. Good shot Paul. The clarity of this picture and the sharpness are excellent. Your subject is very interesting and true is not as colourful as a real red barn but is still attractive. Thanks Paul.

Roberto

riclopes (33135) 2007-08-30 1:49

Olá Paul, what a great contribution to Pablo's theme. It seems quite old, all right. I'm a color person and this is in a really good presentation with attractive colors, but somehow your WS pleases me more, not only because of the excellent b&w, but also because of the diferent angle. Anyway, both are very good and I congratulate you for this post and idea.
Cheers,
ricardo

jeanguy (684) 2007-08-30 13:32

Hello Paul,
Back in NZ?
A good balanced photo, fair colors. Thanks for your interesting note.

Paul, great shot, where is so much life captured in the wood siding on this shed, just wonderful. Detail and color ar also super.

A fine add to Pablo's barns. Very well composed with the diagonal. Good contrasts with the barn colours with the blue sky & the grass below. Very nice image!

Ola Paul que bonita casa de madeira , bonitas as cores , gostei do angulo de visão da foto , bom contraste de cores , parabens!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

emjleclercq (14524) 2007-09-20 13:52

Well, a nice choice for the collection of Pablo(minto, I believe). The shape is interesting and rather sophisticated, with the low sides and the higher center. I like the color, even the rusted corrugated iron of the roof. Very good sharpness again.

All the best,

Emmanuel

jmdias (19935) 2007-09-24 17:30

paul

this humble piece of architecture is very nice shown, good pov and light. You could have found many other shots croping this image more and more.
