Doon Doon Farm

The dairy farm where my father grew up. He doesn't recall thinking much about the natural beauty of the area. His memories were mainly about having to get up at 5am every morning to help milk the cows in all kinds of weather and getting the cream to the dairy truck on time every day. His grandfather and sons cleared the land in the early 1920s. I have some negatives from the mid 1930's of the farm house which is now a gentrified country escape cottage. That's Mount Warning again in the distance from a different angle.

I like the great detail you captured in both land and sky. I just wish that the van/jeep was not in the photo. Can I ask if that is a neg. or print scan?
Cheers

Hi Tex,
It's a negative scan in two halves and joined using PS photomerge. The sky detail and local contrast is due to the orange filter. It was the middle of the day and not the most favourable light directionally so I wanted to inject a bit of punch. As for the jeep there was not much I could do about that. It belonged to the new owners who were not around and also didn't appear to be in running order. We scaled a couple of padlocked gates to get to the property. I recently got some FOMA paper wide enough to make some large prints which I hope to do in the next few weeks.
