Junkie house Photo

Photographer’s Note

The house is found on the top of the cliff above the sea. In the winter time the house seems empty and abandoned, while to the summer the house it become animated. They come the junkies from all of the country. I dont know who is the proprietor of the house, but every season I read in the newspapers that the police has the great problems with them.
On the strong autumn sunlight I have set the exposure time on 1/1000 sec and I open the lens on f/4.5. In the day when the pic was shoted it was blown the strong north-est wind. The sky was completely cleaned up and I have not used the filter polarizer.

How did you get the sky so blue? I really like the colors in this one and it's nice to see a "non-beautiful" picture from you Max. Thanks for the note. I like your simple composition, the trees balance the building very well, they also balance the whole picture since they add some darkness to it.

A house with a story, as it seems. It's a simple - almost nakedly straightforward - shot you did here, but this is exactly what perfectly accompanies your note. I like the dark trees at the right, and those graffiti-like inscriptions that are visible on the wall. Well done, Max.

The sky is amazing, especially with the beautiful trees. I feel that the house is hiding something behind the bars on the window and the green door. The imperfect nature of the grass, the little wall and the building really match each other. A very interesting shot. Thank you for sharing it.

Image triste du a l'abandon de cette grande demeure et gaie de ces belles couleurs. Le contraste et bon et le mariage rose et bleu fonctionne a merveille. Pas un nuages à l'horizon le ciel est très joli il a un beau dégradé. (Peut être du a un filtre non)

Tragedy with these junkies, but the picture is interesting, the setting and composition, strong colours with all the grafitti still visible on the walls. Fine job.

Nice colors in this photo, nice framing too. But what I prefer here is your note, it shows that it is very much alike every where in the northern hemisphere... Thanks for thought!
