Picture perfect barn scene in Harwinton CT
When Cheryl and I pulled up to this barn scene on a quiet, rural road in Harwinton, we knew it had all the elements for a great image. A gorgeous barn, horses, corral, beautiful tall trees in the foreground, stone wall, surrounded by sunlit trees all laid out perfectly on a manicured, clutter free, lot. The sun was directly overhead eliminating those long, harsh, ugly shadows. What a winner this was!

The perfect barn of “Pine Hill” in Burlington CT
I was able to get Cheryl parked safely off the side of the road on this very buy highway in Burlington CT where this pristine barn sits. Standing on the edge of the road, with vehicles whisking by at about 50 mph, I was able to frame up a nice composition of the Pine Hill Barn. I don’t think this is a working farm but rather a residential address where the homeowners maintained the original barn beautifully over the years. The residence is seen peeking through the tree’s on the far right edge of the image. Five stars go out to these homeowners for the time they’ve spent preserving history…

German Shepard protects Burlington barn……………
Look closely into the image and you’ll see a German Shepard lying in the grass perhaps claiming his territory. Either way I thought it good to keep my distance. You’ll also notice that somewhat thought it was appropriate to spray paint HAPPY B-DAY. Cheryl mapped out our next barn while I quickly photographed this with my Sony A7RII 42.4 MP full framed, mirrorless and a Sony 24-105 F4 @ 37 mm. Scene shot as it except foreground (grassy area) was modified in Photoshop. 1/160th, f11, ISO 200, Aperture Priority

Unique barn in Burlington CT
Cheryl and I were chasing down barns in Burlington CT this sunny Saturday afternoon. I particularly liked the unique design of this barn and the way the wood aged. Although I’m not a big fan of bright sunny days for shooting I did like the way the sun fell through the tree’s onto this barn and the end result. NOTE: This barn actually sits just a few feet from an asphalt roadway which totally ruined this shot. I did take the liberty to remove the roadway in photoshop and substitute it with a nice grassy lawn which I had photographed minutes earlier elsewhere in town. Photographed with a Sony A7RII…

Barn & horse in Bethany/Woodbridge CT area………
My apologies but I’m not sure if this was taken in Bethany or Woodbridge CT. I remember not being able to locate the town line sign but it was certainly close to the town line. This was a beautiful corner lot of multiple acres which situated upon it were a barn, house, coral and field located on a main route going through town. The image was shot as seen except for one slight modification to the grounds in photoshop. Photographed with a Sony A7RII 42.4 MP full frame mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 41 mm. 1/40th, f16, ISO 400, APERTURE PRIORITY

Litchfield farm scene………
Cheryl kept the seat warm in the car while I photographed this farm in Litchfield CT. I believe, these days, it is primarily a horse farm. If you look at coral at the far right there are some horses present. Only modification in photoshop was the foreground by the roadway. Photographed with Sony A7RII and a Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 38 mm. 1/160th, f11, ISO 160, Aperture Priority

Aging comfortably in the middle of the woods ………….
Passing time nestled amongst the surrounding foliage this old barn sits in the countryside of Roxbury CT. I don’t know if the house in the left rear of the image is connected to the barn or not. Photographed with: Sony A7RII, Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 50 mm. 1/250th, f16, ISO 800, Aperture Priority

Bold and beautiful in Roxbury CT
Cheryl and I photographed this grand old barn sitting by the road in Roxbury CT. It appears to be maintained fairly well and has nice lines. Photographed with a Sony A7RII 24 MP full frame, mirrorless camera with a Sony 24-105 F4 lens at 56 mm. 1/800th, f16, ISO 320 Aperture Priority
