Macro, eh?Clouds anyone?
With the Nikkor 28-85mm f3.5 (Macro)
These images are very atmospheric. Athough it is a shame to see grand old houses deteriorate, there is a kind of beauty in this deterioration. Almost like nature claiming back the abandoned house. An extreme example of this can also be seen in the ruins of Angkor Wat with those huge tree roots snaking their way through the ancient temple. By the way, is your FD 24mm f2.8 lens by any chance a Canon FD 24mm lens? If so, I have the very same lens for my 35mm manual focus Canon SLRs. One of my most frequently used lenses for those cameras.Two shot several days ago in a nearby county. I had spotted this house on a jaunt to a vineyard and found my way back. I was warned about getting too near by a neighbor--breakins, etc. I had hoped to get some closer, in windows, back, etc.
G1 14-45 (this was where I wished for wider---I would have liked an even more wide perspective and a bit of breathing room)

Its always sad for me to see these old homes just left to rot. For the area its in, its quite 'grand' as this is more farm country than plantation country (western NC). Oh, a little trivia. I was told 2 vultures raise their young in the left/back chimney. How I would love to be there to see them rise off the chimney--don't think its quite time for them raising young yet, but may check and try to go back prepared to wait LOL.
