Wandering In An Old House
The house lot was purchased in 1817, the home completed in 1820. Now the buildings and land are preserved ‘as is’ circa 1850.
These photographs were taken upstairs while wandering around the different rooms.
Photographs were created with an OM-1 (1), 12-100 mm f4, and finished the images in DxO Filmpack.

Random Cabin Photographs
One of the most picturesque places I know.
I go there because I can take photographs slowly and enjoy using a camera, new looks, and ultimately do post processing in a way entirely different from my usual nature work.

Middleton Plantation, Cira 1730, Monochrome Monday
Part of the barnyard of Middleton Plantation, South Carolina.
The property was first built around 1730, bigger buildings added through the mid 1800’s.
In 1865, during the US Civil War, much of the property was burned or damaged by Federal forces.
The current walls on the property were constructed with the original bricks from the ruined north flanker and main building.
Plantation View, Charleston
There are few hills around the Lowcountry, however Middleton has a nice bluff that looks over the Ashley River.
The formal gardens look over the river, and of course large maintained lawns, statues, and ponds. They obviously had a little money.
The final photograph was finished using DxO Filmpack.
The Great Escape
The coast is clear !
The lawn mowers were gathered in the barn yard while a scout went to check things out.

Cold Weather Camellias
Walking through the hedge rows of Camellia’s, without getting lost. The evidence of the cold snap could be clearly seen. However new flowers were out, with more on the way.
I’m not sure how many acres there are of these huge hedges, but it’s enough to get people confused once walking one of the lanes.
Photographs taken with the OM-1 (1), OM 14-42 EZ pancake.
A great place to try out the new (old) lens. Tiny with a little twisty motor zoom. Fun to use, with pretty good results. Ellen gets some great shots with it.
