Red Barn and Pasture

I had the day off today so it was up before dawn and on the road. Headed to Brown County State Park for a sunrise, but the lighting this morning was terrible. Not a cloud in the sky. I took a small drive though some back roads and came upon this small red barn setting in a very scenic pasture.

This was shot with my D700 and Sigma 70-200 F2.8, with a circular polarizer attached.

Old Red Barn and White Silo

Captured early this morning in route to the Covered Bridge Festival in western Indiana. We drive by this barn several times a week. This morning there was no traffic. It was a wonderful weekend here in Indiana.

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!

Streets of Madison Indiana

 

Streets of Madison Indiana

Originally uploaded by Lyle C

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!!

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!

Stormy Day

Following the high winds and finally some rain in the area yesterday, we are left with almost no autumn color.  High winds will continue today.  Photo opportunities still abound here in South Central Indiana.  Trying to get some work done around the house , but hopefully this evening the ole Nikon will be hard at work.

For this post I have included an image captured last fall on one of my drives home from northern Ohio.  My Tokina 11 -16 F2.8 wide angle lens was used for this capture. You can see a larger image here.

Have a great day!!

This image was taken with my new Canon G10. I needed a camera that could be carried with me all the time. So far I am really happy with this little tool. While it will never replace my Nikon D200, it does a really good job. This image was captured during my lunch break last week. You can see some of my other work with this camera by clicking here.

Have a great week!

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.
