Mormon Row, Grand Teton N.P. - The Pink House...
Dec 17, 2020 09:33:50 #
Was the John Moulton homestead that consisted of several outbuildings and the famous Moulton barn that took several years to construct. I've included the "Mormon Row" info board that depicts how the area looked when it was occupied back in the day.
Yesterday a comment was made, rightly so, why the photo of the Pink House I posted was obstructed by trees. That photo was used to illustrate, as were all the photos in that post, that there are many ways to photo the area other than the classic "Iconic" scenes so frequently posted on web photo sites. As usual, I took several shots from different sight angles of the Pink House including this one using a gap in the trees to frame the house. My intention was to use this photo in another post but will include it today for comparison.

Great pictures and narrative. Liking "todays" picture, the framing of the trees sets off the building.

The first version is a beauty. The pink house coordinates perfectly with its surrounding. Lovely shot with perfect composition!

When was the fence added to the pink house? Wasn't there in 2013.

Interesting and powerful illustration of how much difference angle and composition makes in final result. #1 excellent, #2 just a photo.

Good for you for thinking outside the "iconic" box, which often seems to be not so much iconic as mundane and unimaginative. Really, how much artistry does it take to stand at the gap in the trees and shoot the same view that every other tourist does?
The first is a wonderful shot, of course, but so is the second. The second says "attractive fall treeline at a historic spot in the wonderful Jackson valley". Something other than the house is the main subject. Certainly just as worthwhile as the first view, and taking a range of shots from different viewpoints is part of the imagination and curiosity that marks a good photographer.
So, great job!

Yes, #1 is the more desirable angle to capture the scene...and, to me, it is a beauty!!
