Slowly into Dust
Found south of Marysville, Kansas--this old limestone farmhouse with the date of its construction partially emblazoned with "MA 187?"--no doubt indicating May in the decade of the 1870's. Clearly, the roof has been long gone, and there wasn't much left inside, other than the collapsed remains of that roof and second floor . . . and the kitchen utensils seen in the accompanying photo.
Grrr. Every once in awhile, an upload of mine hardly resembles the finished product after processing in Lightroom and (sometimes) Photoshop. Something happens in the upload process that greatly modifies what I'd envisioned. In this case, the contrast was greatly diminished with the highlights suffering in particular. The vibrancy was also attenuated. I didn't notice until 12 hours later. I then spent the next three hours adjusting and uploading, readjusting and uploading, re-readjusting and uploading . . . over and over, trying to get the flickr representation to match my finished product. Three hours later, and I still haven't managed it. It's closer, but it still isn't there. But for now, it'll just have to do. Very frustrating.
And now, something new! I took another look at this photo and found that the colors seem to have gone haywire. The house looks like someone scribbled randomly on the limestone with a giant yellow crayon! It didn't look that way an hour ago. Either my computer has become an inconstant arbitar of color, or Flickr has. Uber frustrating. Guess I'll wait several hours and take another look. Anyone else EVER have similar problems?
