Abandoned aging old steel barn, Terryville CT
The three of us were out barn hunting and saw this beautiful old abandoned steel building in Terryville CT. It sat about 100 yards, in an open heavily overgrown field, behind what was once a major steel fabrication shop. So although I don’t know for sure it just seems like it could have been a maintenance shop for that facility. Although shot in color I rendered it in black in white to give it a sort of nostalgic look as it sits long abandoned and isolated. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-70 f2.8 GMII lens. To get extra reach I switched to JPEG resolution…

Abandoned Silo in Oxford
I was travelling through Oxford CT with Cheryl and our dog Molloy when we came upon this cool old abandoned Silo. There was an industrial park built all around it which is not really visible from the picture. In fact I was standing on the property of a company while taking these pictures. This seems to be all that remains of what was once a working farm. Photographed with a Sony Nex 7,APS-C 24.3 mp mirrorless camera and a Sony 18-55 lens at 18mm (APS-C equiv. = 27mm). Handheld 1/20th, f11, ISO 100, APERTURE PRIORITY

Picture perfect barn in Woodbury CT
On the way back from a photoshoot in Roxbury Cheryl and I, by chance, happened upon this beautiful old barn in Woodbury. It’s been in the family for many years and belonged to the current owners Grandfather. This is not its original site as the entire barn and foundation were moved here at one time. There had been an addition in the rear which had suffered a collapse. This is one of the most beautiful barns I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing with its unique styling and weathered barn board. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-70 F2.8 GMII lens @ 52mm. 1/4 second,…

More beautiful as time goes by.
Cheryl and I were working the Southbury CT area looking for barns and came across this one out in the country. I didn’t tag it well so it was either in Southbury or one of the surrounding towns. I’m sure it’s owned by someone but from the standpoint of upkeep and usage it’s abandoned in my opinion. These are the types of barns I relish. Time just ages them so beautifully. The paint is gone, the boards are peeling and there is probably more wildlife that calls this home than you can imagine.

From the “cactus” family of plants
This plant is from the cactaceae family best known for cactus’s. This is one of our house plants and it’s an all green plant. It has numerous “spikes” on it’s leaves. I rendered it B & W in photshop. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 24.3 mp DSLR and a 40mm Nikon macro lens. To ensure sharpness throughout the image I took (16) images at different focus points and “focused stacked” all the layers into one final image. ISO 100, 1/125, f8, various studio lights.
