Hotlink URL
Top down cinematic location photography of a large ancient Chinese rural homestead. Layout dominated by an enormous central rounded square earthen yard (~60m x 60m), over two thirds of total footprint the absolute dominant feature, open, near square with softly rounded edges, main gathering space. Surrounding buildings pushed far to the perimeter, feeling secondary and small. Far north edge: one continuous horizontal structure three attached earthen rooms (left, central family hall, right), all facing south. Far west edge (N S, wide gaps): west side room, small storage shed, firewood/farm tool area. Far east edge (N S, wide gaps): east side room, servant room, kitchen. Far south: single broken old wooden gate, centered, aligned with family hall. No enclosing walls, no south buildings only low broken wooden fences, post and rail fencing, rough wooden stakes marking loose boundary. Entire courtyard fully visible from south. Buildings: rammed earth walls, yellow clay, mud plastered textures, weathered timber doors, old gray tiled roofs. Abundant rural greenery: wild grass, climbing vines, shrubs, vegetable patches, weeds, potted herbs, young trees. Realistic earth, wood, dust, dirt textures, natural aging, harsh natural daylight. 24mm lens, f/5.6, 180 shutter angle, Fujicolor 500T, 35mm film grain, extremely photorealistic.
