Old Kentucky Barn

I captured this barn while traveling in Eastern Kentucky a couple of weeks ago. This was in the Red River Gorge area. A wonderful and very scenic area to visit. Click the image for a larger view and to see some of my other work. Thanks for stopping by.

Red Barn and Snow

There  is something really eye catching when I see a red barn up against a snowy background.  I felt it was very important in this image to also give some focus to the entire landscape surrounding this barn.

Hopefully you enjoy this is as much as I do. Have a great week!

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!

Springs Arrival

While out and about yesterday with my camera, it was clearly evident that mother earth is beginning its transition from winter to spring. The grass and winter wheat is beginning to get very green, and the trees have a reddish tone to them. All sure signs of renewal.

The barn above was captured in Jackson County, Indiana, not far from Brownstown. It was a very nice morning to be out and about with the camera. Being a Friday morning, the traffic was minimal. This allowed for some nice drive by shooting opportunites.

Stop by my website to view the other images I captured on Good Friday. We are now offering canvas gallery wraps for most all of my images. These are extremely high quality prints on archival canvas, that look great in any room. Click here for more information.

Thanks for stopping by!

March Weather

 

 While running into town this past Saturday, I came across this very nice red barn.  There was a very low cloud deck that morning, making for a good HDR opportunity.  For me the best time to use this technique is when the clouds are low and gray. We had been driving past this barn for many years, wondering how we could get a good capture.  Finally opening our eyes when driving through here, I noticed a country road going back to an old cemetery.  From here I could get a good view of the barn. 

The HDR process worked well on this one, really giving detail to the gray clouds and the red barn.  You can see a larger version by clicking here.

Have a great week!

Cold Winters Day

Finally was able to get out for a short drive this past weekend. As you can see from my image, it was a very gray and gloomy day. There is something about this weather that really makes for more dramatic shots. Its like you can almost feel the cool wind hitting your face when you look at these winter images. If you would like to view this image a bit larger, please go to my home on the web, Country Roads Photo.

Feel free to leave me some comments, and please stop back.

Gray Winter Day

The holiday time has allowed me to get out and take care of my need to capture images with my camera. Today I loaded up my dog and off we went out into the country. This was my first time taking Willie on a barn hunt, and I must say it went very well. Willie is a West Highland White Terrier, and he lives up to their standard very well.

At any rate, the image posted above is one of 2 barns we captured on our journey. As you can see it was a typical Indiana winter day. Very drab and gray, and fortunately not very cold. Please stop by my online gallery to see all of my barns as well as some other unique images. You can click here to see a larger version of this image.

We hope all of you have a very happy new year!!

Winters Arrival

 

After a long hot summer, winter is finally upon us.  This barn was captured the day after a winter storm passed through our area.  There is something about a red barn against the white snow that really gets my attention.  You can see a larger view of this image by clicking here.

Have a wonderful holiday season!!

Left Over Images

This is an image I captured this fall while there were still some leaves left on the trees. This barn is located on the southern edge of Brown County, Indiana. We stumbled across this barn while driving back an old stone road. There was also a very old cemetery at the end of this road. If one gets out and about on these old roads, it is amazing what you can find. You can view this image a bit larger by clicking here.

If you enjoy looking at old barns, stop by my website where you can see a large collection of these images and many others.

Have a great holiday!!

Thanksgiving Weekend

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!  We were fortunate to have been able to spend time with all of our family.   I was able to sneak out Friday and snap a couple of images.  The one that is posted here is called “Under Cover”.  This barn was captured in Shelby County, Indiana, just a bit east of Edinburgh.  It was a very nice day, with some wonderful cloud formations.  Click here to see a larger view of this image.

Thanks for stopping by.
