I liked all the angles involved in these pics

Image
It was in use up to a couple of years ago

Image
I think a little maintenance is required now tho'

We camp around here most weekends

Mate, that's awesome.

Gotta love the old farm buildings. I've got a thing for the old steel truss hay shed's as well.

Best bit of advice I can give is use the 'magic hours' - 1 hour after sunrise and 1 hour before sunset.

Before and after a good storm is pretty good too.

You can really see the stories that shed would hold! Love old places like that. To think that a small amount of buildings we use these days will end up like this, yet we don't see this as the "hey day" of these buildings...

Doesn't matter what sorta camera you use, its the thought that goes into the image that makes it special - not point and shoot to "photocopy" the scenery here...

Cheers

So where's ya secret spot? Nice old shed, and looks to be fairly sound in the framing still. Could rebuild a subie or two in there, if you had power...

apparently it was "built" at the turn of the century and "renovated" in the 1930's !

gotta love corrugated iron, I even bought a donmo resonater rustbucket it must be the coolest guitar in australia . sad to see buildings decaying but there comes a point where they are too expensive to maintain.
