I like the 2nd one.
Me too... which is how I originally presented it. Hey, I got the A77.. I'll put it through some paces then write a real review, not like the last hate filled one I did on it due to it being defective.

OK OK OK... 3 shots to compare...
1st is as shot with camera filter. I like this as it shows the rust
2nd is with a post prod Sepia filter, which is how I posted it
3rd is what y'all asked for... Now I don't know which I prefer!
I still like the Sepia wash as it was the mood that strikes me.. What are y'all thoughts?

Well.. the subject is the house, sitting so obviously (too much?) on the 3rds.... And I'm not sure any photo is worth getting into a gunfight for.

brings back so many memories
Did you grow up in a house like this? I fantasized about living in one throughout my childhood. I grew up in a one bedroom urban apartment in a building... I got the (tiny) bedroom, and Mom got the livingroom.... and I dreamed of moving to the suburbs/country and living in a big victorian... Now I live in the country, only not so much in a big Victorian, but still a 100 year old farmhouse.

Great shot of the old place. Think it's still one family?
I believe it still is. There's only one mailbox out front. This neighborhood is chock full of these old Victorians. A lot of them have been divided, as you can see the multi-mailbox units, as well as multi-electrical meters... But there are many that have not, like this one.

The song was a nice touch, but I swear I heard someone calling "Grandpa, Eddy come up out of the lab and get Herman."
I always thought that the Adam's' and the Munsters were related, and it would be quite an affair during a family shindig.

I agree.. not enough farmhouse, and tried every angle. This angle gave me the most "house" ... It was strategically placed out of public view, and I didn't feel like getting an arse full of birdshot for trespassing :)

Actually, no panning was involved. The only thing happening besides pressing the shutter release was stepping down the shutter speed (and light comp for the slower shutter)... I would've liked some more sharpness in the stationary objects... But that was impossible with the train rumbling by shaking the earth.

Beautiful... For some reason I cant seem to get that sharp focus, like yours, when I try for a good photo of these....
I think you probably could if you use my settings as a baseline. The most important setting here for sharpness would be the Shutter Speed at 1/500th of a second. Being that it was almost double the focal length (300mm).. as long as there's strong enough light, and you have some sort of image stabilization in the body or lens... you should get this sharpness.

Perhaps the in focus subjects appear to be too centered because they are the only ones straight up and down? Although I don't work strictly to the rule of 3rds, both in focus subjects are closer to thirds by far than the center.

I know I'm reaching a bit.. but at least I'm out here trying to compose! I found the textures of the old farmhouse, the Evergreen, the naked trees and the farm plow interesting and mood provoking, even if subtly.

Having such fine seed pods make ragweed an interesting subject when you get a strong focus on them.. and have some shallow depth of field blurring the Evergreens in the background contrasting against the clear focus.

My 3 year old male Dobermann Rio keeping things "safe" showing his well muscled and beautifully symmetric build. Shot with my new Sony A77 w/ Sony 70-400mm G lens at ISO 1000, 400mm, f/5.6 shot from about 100 yards.
