This historic, wooden one-room school is located on Neola Road in Saylorsburg, PA. I don’t know much about it and there was no sign indicating the actual school name or dates of operation. I’m going to continue to research this one. One of five historic one-room schools I shot on Saturday 8-28-2010.
I shot everything today with my new Sigma 10mm F2.8 Fisheye lens as a way of getting used to the lens for landscape shots. I’ve wanted a fisheye lens for landscape photography for a few years and this 10mm has a nice balance of sharpness and super wide angle without a lot of the lens distortion you find with a lot of fisheye lenses. I shot this as seven bracketed RAW frames at .7 stop increments and then combined them into an HDR with the new 4.0 Beta version of Photomatix Pro and finally, tone mapped that image. I’m not happy with the color of the sky on the right side of the image and I should have used a graduated neutral density filter but it was hard enough hauling around a Gitzo tripod, D300 camera body and lens while maneuvering with crutches.
