Barn between the Elms
Cheryl and I were chasing down a list of barns we wanted to shoot in Avon CT this chilly December day in 2018. Down the street from one of the ones on our list, low and behold, was this beauty. It was situated in an open field a considerable distance off. When photographed that way it lacked any interest. I then switched to a medium telephoto lens and stepped back into the roadway so I could frame the barn with the two elm trees. The telephoto helped “compress” the image bringing the barn closer to the trees. There was horribly harsh sunlight that day but fortunately the bulk of the…

Horse barn Rt. 6, Andover CT
Barn on Rt. 6 in Andover CT Rt. 6 is a busy, high speed road and the only way to get this shot, (without trespassing), is to stand on the edge of Rt. 6 while vehicles rush past you just feet away around 50 mph. TIP: If I’m shooting on the road, any road, I wear a brightly colored reflective safety vest. I also purchased, for merely $8.00, an orange collapsible safety cone which I put on the roadway about 30 ‘ before my vehicle to alert oncoming cars. Keep your four way flashers going as well. In this particular shot I parked the car up the street, off the…

Hop River State Park Trail Bridge, Andover CT
In 2012 this beautiful foot bridge was installed to complete a major gap in the rails to trails walkway which runs from Manchester to Willimantic through Hop River State Park spanning Rt. 316 below. Before the bridge was in place most folks were forced to stop and turn around as there was no easy way to get to the other side. Not any more. PLEASE NOTE: This image was digitally altered in the area the ground under the bridge for artistic quality. Photographed with Nikon D7100 and 18-55 zoom lens.
