About A red barn, out in the new suburbs of Kansas City. This barn is right up against new plots where houses will be built. I can only assume this barn will be gone within a year, replaced by new housing.

Desaturated, quick mask with levels...

it seems only in america do you have these classic disused barns that make such attractive photography.nice balance of colour and good exposure.angle of shot is spot on to capture the surroundings.

well done

Hey Brian:

Yeah - you can actually place the location in the US if you study barns and their types. For example, some in Kentucky are black and low to the landscape. It all depends where you are and the architecture even varies a bit.

If you like this, you should check out Carol Watson who I think does a better job in Texas.

Wow, wow and wow! Superb from all aspects, very painterly image, gorgeous colors and superb sky, everything is awesome and sharp, including the grass and the rusty structure. The brick silo is amazing too, perfect! A favorite. Ina

Old Bridges-once so busy

Nice capture Michael from a good angle, I like the composition in here, but why not B&W?
Regards,

Wonderful and rare as always....Michael.
you have exellent eyes!


Mark Longo   {K:12760} 2/17/2006
This color image of the barn is spectacular! You have chosen a great perspective for the color representation. This is an equally wise use of color as your "Barn, Sky" image is a wise uyse of B&W. Two very different and very wonderful renderings of the same subject. Take a bow!

You did a great job on getting the colors and lighting to fit the mood of this picture. Also very well framed but would crop the branches on the left side. Keep up the good work.

Chuck:

Yes. We have a lot of these concrete bridges, I think they had a way of churning them out off of templates. Now they are mostly starting to come apart and age.

Ahhh...another potential new summer home for me to consider. Is it for sale? :)

Of all the barn shots I like this one best Michael. I guess I enjoy colour in my world although I do like your most recent with the sky perspective very much also. I See you used avery wide angled lens which cause the distortion. I'm thinking it's intentional to add effect to the collapsing effect. It works well here to have the water tower leaning in towards the barn. A great scene.

Thanks for dropping by my farewell image. Yes I would like more info about the Sprint system you mentioned there. I'm leaving in a about a week.

Cheers from Ann :)

My eyes and Heart still break as I see these old items destroyed, one by one. Though it was raining, I managed to shoot a great imege ( I think) of an old house where some friends once lived. May post it later.

I absolutely love old, beaten up barns. This photo has such great tones and a great feeling to it. Great work.

Michael,

Don't know how I missed this one. it's amazing!

the crop is pretty tight, but gives it a very painterly feel. Very nice details, and contrast! That sky is so unreal!

well done!

cheers,
-joel
