Garth Homestead, A Sobering Experience

We visited one of the most haunted places in the state, Garth Homestead and we went at night!

The idea was to do some light painting, some astro and explore these tragic, but beautiful ruins. The homestead has a history of tragedy, which I guess many early colonial places would as times as they say, were tough, but Garth has had more than its share.

A suicide, death by fire, a fall in a well, all tragic, all supposedly leading to regular sightings after. To me it just felt sad and graceful, like a series of stories left unfinished.

My role for the night was setting up a dozen cams for the students, so my photography was limited to some hand held grabs in available gloom. The S5II with the kit lens got a run and it showed its muscles.

A better indication of the actual light (we were light painting in true darkness fifteen minutes later).
