Abandoned farmhouse in b&w by soboy5

Abandoned farmhouse in b&w

I took another motorcycle ride to the farmhouse a few days ago. Not much has changed since April except the trees have leafed out a lot. This was taken as a b&w in-camera, not processed from color.
I love this house. What a shame it is standing there empty and unloved ... The verandahs would make perfect place to sit with a cup of coffee :)

@sabine Thanks, Sabine. I also am drawn to this old, neglected and abandoned farmhouse. I think of what life was like back when a family lived here and worked the farm in days gone by.

@simon0128 Thank you, Simon. I also love old wooden barns and farmhouses.

@groovygirlrn Thank you, Sheri. This is my first b&w for my project and I think it was an appropriate subject. for b&w.

Nice b&w, looks like it was a nice house, once upon a time!

@rwhite Thanks, Rosie. I think it was a very nice house a long time ago. And a gorgeous farm, absolutely beautiful piece of land. Quite a shame it has fallen into such a state of disrepair. I will continue to chronicle its return into oblivion for my project from time to time.

You can see it was a great house in it's day. Great shot in B&W. I have to remember to try right from the camera.

@debbim Thanks, Debbi. I like shooting in-camera b&w with my LX-3 as it has three b&w settings - normal, dynamic and smooth. This is normal. Tomorrow's project entry is a close-up of the broken window, shot in dynamic b&w. I prefer dynamic to the other two but this one came out nicer than I expected!

Great subtle B&W - so different from your previous shots this week - brill!

@boogie Thanks, Mags - yes, very different from the classic car series - always gotta keep them guessing!

Beautiful b&w capture of this intriguing farmhouse :-) It's such a shame it's been left to go to rack and ruin, as it must have been lovely at one time. I'll have to try using the in camera b&w.....I forget it's there :-)

Very nice in b&w; your camera made a smooth job of it! Lovely composition.

@allisonrap Thank you, Allison! Tomorrow will be a close-up of the farmhouse window, shot in dynamic b&w which increases the contrast a bit. I really enjoy b&w and need to shoot it more often!

@stuckinoz Thanks, Janelle!

Really cool shot, the b&w adds a level of intrigue, especially when coupled with the trees that seem to be enclosing on the house
May 15th, 2012  
@perfectstranger Thanks, Owen! I also like the way the trees frame the house now that spring is here!
May 15th, 2012  
Liked it in color, and in b&w as well - great shot!

Great capture! A little love and this could be a beautiful house again!
May 16th, 2012  
Cool shot, this place could be amazing with a little TLC :)

@orangecrush Thanks, Jerry. It needs a lot of love, the place is falling apart!
@sjodell Thank you, Sarah! Lots and lots of TLC needed here, I only photograph its good side - the other side is caving in rapidly.
