[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The trail was taking too long, so I decided to leave and use this opportunity to see some of the old buildings and artifacts without too many people bugging me. I saw this sign and the two old shovels hanging on one of the old buildings and I like the composition of it. I am not sure who Josiah Pratt is, but he was probably one of the old citizens.

I have enjoyed your Nevada City series. This is another nice sharp, well composed image. I suspect you are quite satisfied with your new camera and lens!

I want more info on your portraits, like what mode did you shoot in (Av or P etc)? They are so great.

Thanks for sharing your trip.

Evelynn : )

Nice composition and interesting textures.
Just lovely, TFS Niek !

Hello Niek,
to bad there was not a job for an photographer ;-). Very nice subjects, the texture of the wood and the rust are very well captured. Details and colors are excellent. A nice composition.

A very unique still life, Niek! Sort of a still life meets American Gothic! Nicely seens and recorded. The details realy make the shot -- the sign, the plaster-filled logs, the shovels. Nicely recorded addition to your series.

Nice composition, very tight, just showing the essential. The sign is unfortunately a bit washed out by the light. Still, a very nice image, a good testimony of the place.

Prachtig gezien en genomen.

Hi Niek,
Great shot. I really like the textures and patterns of old material - wood, metal etc.
The sign is a bit pale and you could probably fix that with the burn tool (or is the dodge? - I always get them mixed up).
Cheers,
John

Just been going through your gallery seeing the pictures I have missed while away and just missed for some other reasons. This one is quite a lot of fun. I really like the composition and the sign is a very essential addition. I might have liked a tiny bit more space at the bottom as the spade seems to be resting on the frame but that is a very minor details. Well done!

Hello Niek,
Pleasant composition!
Very attractive textures in both wall and shuffles, great details and colours telling about the age...
This is an image setting my mind back a few years!
Greetings,
