more cabin pictures

Okay, I went through a handful more of the pictures I took while I was up at the cabin. I made it my goal to shoot every picture with my 50mm 1.8 prime lens just as an exercise to make me think outside the realm of an 18-70mm zoom lens. I don't know if I failed miserably or not; I'll leave that up to you to decide :)

Take a look:

more polarizer...


horribly overexposed; I should have taken another shot metered at the window and combined them in photoshop. Oh well.


The grave of a 4 year-old boy, Jacob Ray Bowerman, who died in 1879


Pretty leaves and window

I love the cabin, and can't wait to go back in the snow again - or just wait until all the leaves turn colors in a few weeks and take more pictures.

The barn is considered USFS property, but most of the other old buildings are owned by a guy in LA who bought up most of the land in the area as a getaway from the city, and it seems like he's never around. There's only one and a half livable houses, but a handful of old mining and logging shacks (like the last pic above), all of which are extremely photogenic. I can't wait go back (maybe sans-family next time)
