Here today...gone tomorrow!!

This is a recent addition to my gallery of abandoned homes. I just discovered it and was told that it was over this last winter that the wall and roof collapsed. I'm sure it won't be long before the rest of it gets sifted into the sands of time.

 

Sic1,

Thanks very much for your compliment...very much appreciated. Below is a link that will take you to a brief discussion on sky replacement. Sometimes replacing a sky can be difficult, depending on the foreground (as in this shot) and the exposure etc. It is sometimes difficult to find a sky that suits the lighting in the photo. I worked on one today and was unable to find satisfaction with any sky shot I tried.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have questions and I'll try to help!!:smile:

Dave,

I'm happy to have your lovely compliment!! Thank you very much!!!:smile:

 

I'm not sure if what you tried will work....  When you select your original image are you simply clicking on it or selecting from the drop-down? Your sky replacement shot should still be open and all of it still selected. Are you using CS2? I'm short on time right now, but will check back later and you'll be replacing the sky no problem.:smile:

 

Ray,

As soon as I get my new pirnter up and running I will see how it prints up.
Thanks for your compliments. :smile:

Harry,

I would like to do some night shots at this derelict, using timed exposure and paint with light using a flashlight. That would surely spook it up even more!!!:Shocked:

Gale,

Thank you for your kind words!! I've been unable to spend as much time on the forums and with my camera as I want, but I think I can be more active now...unless life keeps intruding!!! 

 

Fred,

It was by chance that I found this wreck. I was on the side of the road shooting another scene when a car stopped and I was approached by a man wanting to know all about my gear and why I was shooting a particular site etc etc. He told me about this disintegrating house. I almost passed on shooting it because it was out of my way, but turned around and found it to be worthwhile.
Thanks for your compliments...very much appreciated!!! :smile:
