Local Barn from 1901
Owner says it is in danger of collapsing...I sent him a high-resolution version of this shot
I have taken shots of this barn before, but I returned because I have the new Sigma 105mm lens which is super sharp. I created a panorama from five photographs, and decided to antique it to a high-contrast black and white to match the period.
The barn was built in 1901; the truck is an old Chevy flatbed from the 50s.
The original color photo is fine, but almost too cheery. :)
Killer value range. The shadow in the foreground is just right.
Right. The color shot is picture postcard americana. The black and white is depression era with emphasis on depression. But as you say it is super sharp and I would think that the farmer would value the photo. The barn not being long for this world.
