When you enter the State Arboretum at Blandy Farm and you see this imposing old building, you are reminded that this was once a fine estate. I replaced the color in these images with a sepia tone in Photoshop. This time I used HDR Options and selected one of the sepia methods. I haven't done much with HDR Options before so this was an interesting experiment.

Sepia really gives your take on the place a marvelously old fashioned feel. Nicely captured!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds «Louis» of the Filoli estate on the Peninsula south of San Francisco.

I like the sepia here. Very effective.

ReplyDeleteNeat photos. That does look like it was once quite impressive.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou sure don't see half moon windows like that any longer. They are beautiful, but I bet they are a pain to clean.
