In trying to actually stay with a theme this week of old, rusted, rotted art, here are some pictures of a barn a few miles down the road from my house. I’ve always wanted to stop and take pictures so last night Bailey and I went out and shot a few together. It was nice to have someone with me who loves photography as much as I do as I’m usually by myself unless I can drag Aly along for the ride 🙂
The barn sits right along the road so I was limited in trying to capture the whole barn without getting a lot of the roadway. I thought this first picture turned out fairly well though. I hardly had to do a thing in photoshop except for a tiny bit of unsharp mask to make the weathered look pop a little more. I wish the sky had been a little more colorful but there wasn’t a cloud in site as it was so humid all day long.
This next photo was shot from inside the barn. I did play with the contrast and saturation levels on this one but I absolutely love how it turned out.
This one was taken peeking in through one of the cracks in the barn. I love how the light cascades in through the cracks of the roof and in through the windows. I wanted to leave it in color but it actually looked much better in black and white. I again used an unsharp mask.
