Cheryl and I stumbled upon this barn while barn hunting in Avon CT in December of 2018. Except for some minor damage on the cupola it has been maintained well with, what appears to be, a recent quote of exterior paint.

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…
