The only other time I photographed this barn was in the winter where the tree next to it was barren. I was rushed and shot it out of the window of my car and I momentarily pulled off to the side of the road. I was not pleased with the results and have been wanting to come back ever since.
This was taken on Rt. 79. Folks that travel from Durham or Wallingford down to Madison pass this gorgeous barn all the time. They also know that this is a very busy, hi speed road, and the barn is situated on a curve in the road. This time I decided to pull my car off the road into the entrance of a private dirt driveway just for the sake of safety. I don’t set foot on people’s property so I was standing on the edge of the road, (in my neon safety vest), as traffic darted by at 50 mph. Needless to say I wasn’t comfortable so my (3) shots were done with in less than a minute.
However, I got what I came for. I think I was able to capture the barns enduring beauty. I also took an image of the street side of the barn close up to show the detail in the wood and the window.
Photographed with a Nikon D7100, 24 MP camera and a Nikon 18-55 lens @ 22 mm.
