Description
"AbandonScape" - Maynard Stensby homestead along shore of Devils Lake North Dakota in Benson County
This is a "deep focus" image, shot during golden-hour sunset light with a modest (135mm) telephoto lens using "focus stacking" technique to get tack sharp foreground all the way to infinity without relying upon a very tiny lens aperture (and corresponding softness). It is also a "deep history" shot, capturing three farm homesteads from circa 1900 - Stensby farm in foreground, Lars Peder Hansen homestead at back right (small building with chimney), and the McGowan homestead all the way across Silver Lake (now merged with Devils Lake, in its flooded condition) on left side. Rural depopulation trend due to farm consolidation has left them vacant, like countless others across the ND plains.
Image captured 9/30/22 with Pentax K-1 and Rokinon 135mm lens at f8, stacked composite from three focus depths
