An Old BarnNovember 13, 2008 @ 12:23am
Was out on a shoot at a house for photos of the new large porch on the house, but I kept getting drawn to the barn on the property,

Unlike the house, which was terribly backlight and I had to use a HDR combination on it, this barn was in some nice light and shadows toward evening and made for a nice fall capture. the owner liked the barn pick almost more than the house porch pics.

I too, like the owner, do appreciate this old barn photo very much. Is this HDR? The colors are soft and beautiful. I hope this image remains with the owner for a long time, in spite of the fact that the barn looks like it's not too long for this world.

Great picture of a dying breed. What I always want to do when I see an old barn like this, is to walk around inside and see what is in there that tells something of its past, (an old stirrup, old nails, old screws, old pieces of any metal, etc.) It could also be a great space to catch some interesting shadows and highlites.
The lighting in this capture is just perfect for showing a lot of the details that adds so much interest to the image.

Wes, I'm amazed that you've lived as long as you have! It just doesn't look safe enough to go inside this barn.

Lovely image of an old barn.

I love old barns. They have a lot of character.

Thanks all,

What is nice is the interior of the barn has been renovated including the loft, and has nice new support timbers, it is structualy very sound,safe, and the tractor implements stay in there along with left over toys from the kids.

the exterior wall I shot was the worse of all three sides, and is the next project the owner is doing to recondition the unit.

but despite appearances, I would let my own daughter play in the barn because of the interior supports and strong roof.

This is a single shot, not HDR. I only did the HDR on the house project.

Looks like the barn may fall with the leaves, to be raked up and thrown in the compost heap.
Lovely color and dappled light.

The light on this barn is very nice. I like how it gives life to this old relic. Nicely done.

Go ahead and play with the images. I would ask that when you post them on other sites (such as Flikr, Photobucket, etc.) that you credit my photography. I would do the same for you! Other than that, I'm E Z T D B W.

Nice work.

I like the composition and detail. You can spend time looking over the entire barn and then investigate piece by piece. I love the basketball hoop, and thinking of the games played by kids in a bygone time.

Very nice work,

Tim

Once again Thanks all,

Been busy at work, with concert season, so didn't see your nice comments on the image,

Thanks for looking and your kind words.

I agree about the lighting and the shadows, Wade. I also like the details that you have captured in the wood. I hate to see them go.
