Mail Pouch Barn

Another image from my trip 2 weeks ago to southern Indiana.  This old Mail Pouch barn has definitely seen better days, but then again, most all of these old barns are getting in this type of condition. This image was captured with my Nikon D200 using my 18-200 F5.6 VR lens  and Hoya HD Pro circular polarizer.

When I initially began shooting seriously, my main focus was on the Mail Pouch barn.  I now shoot all types of barns while out and about.  Feel free to browse my barn gallery at Country Roads Photo.

Streets of Madison Indiana

 

Streets of Madison Indiana

Last weekend, along with a few of my photographer friends we paid a visit to Madison, Indiana. This is a very historic town sitting on the banks of the Ohio River.

This small town is one of the best around for a nice walk with your camera. The downtown is wonderful with many antique shops and very historic buildings. This image is the front yard of one of the many beautifully restored old homes. You can see this image a bit larger by clicking here.

A great day trip, and don’t forget your camera!!

Smoky Mountain Vista

Hello everyone. This image was captured back in 2008 on a trip down to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

There was not very much color around here (Indiana) this year due to the drought, so I decided to go through some of my older images to remind myself what great autumn color looks like.

This park is probably one the best places in the country for taking pictures. We really enjoy heading there when ever possible.

Thanks for looking!

Sunrise over the Ohio River

The image was captured Saturday morning right at sunrise. Several of my photography club members and I traveled down to the Falls of the Ohio Sate Park located in Clarksville, Indiana. We were blessed with a beautiful sunrise and a wonderful day.

This image was captured using my Tokina 11-16 ATX Pro lens mounted on my Nikon D200. Using this lens is really fun, giving some really cool perspective to landscape images. Of course a tripod was also used.

Please click on the image for a larger view.

Hope you enjoy this one as much as I do.

Have a great day.

Red Barn

This is one of my drive by shooting barns.  Located right on the highway, I stopped and quickly rattled off 2 shots.  This image was captured with my Canon G11, which is with me most of the time.  Great little camera when you don’t want to drag out the big gear.  There is another shot of this barn on my website you can see here.

Have a great day!
