Old Cow Farm, Bethlehem
I was on my way to photograph another barn in Bethlehem when I spotted this farm scene off in a distance. It doesn’t appear that the buildings are actively being used but the presence of a tractor implies to me that the grounds are still being upkept. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, l24-70 f2.8 GMII lens at 55mm 1/100th, f16, ISO 100, Manual Mode

Old Cow Farm in Litchfield CT
Another barn on the list for Cheryl and I in Litchfield CT this bright sunny day. This property covered many acres and was a beautiful site to see. I’m sure at one time this was a bustling farm replete with farm house as seen in the right distant side of the image. However, with it’s boarded windows I believe the farm house is no longer occupied. I didn’t see a lot of activity or any livestock during my visit so I’m not sure to what extent the farm is utilized today. With it’s towering silo’s and acres of fields I’m sure there was a lot of cows to feed back…

Another beautiful barn in Roxbury CT
Another barn on our “to do” list of barns in gorgeous Roxbury CT for Cheryl and I. As you can see it’s a beautiful, tranquil setting that was most likely a bustling cow farm back in the day. The property owner came over to us and was very cordial welcoming us to photograph the barn as we liked. We shared our website address and hope he stops by to see the finished results. If you do please tell us what you think! The entire shot is “as is” however the stone wall was modified in photoshop for artistic reasons. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42.4 MP full frame, mirrorless camera…

Technology comes to an old barn
Cheryl and I were barn chasing in East Hampton CT and photographed this barn which was topped with a solar panel on Hurd Park Rd. I’ve photographed a lot of barns and this is the first one I’ve seen with a solar panel. I like the old tractor they had situated on the property. Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24 MP, mirrorless camera and a Sony 55-210 @ 100 mm. 1/250th, f11, ISO 400, Aperture priority

Old barn, Torrington CT
Beautiful old working barn on University Dr., in Torrington CT. There was a woman on a garden tractor mowing the lawn just out of sight to the left. She was near me on the road so I asked her permission to take the photograph and if she wouldn’t mind if I entered in about 25′ on the driveway to take the image. She had no problem with it but moments later a large, barking German Shepard headed straight for me at full speed. I thought, this is it, this is the day I get bit by a dog for my art. (laughing) By God’s grace he stopped about two…

Remnants of what once was a dairy farm.
This was a working farm for nearly all of the 20th century. In 2000 the Town of Cheshire purchased the 93 acre property. The town rents out the old Lassen homestead (not shown). NOTE: The field in which the barn sits has been slightly modified for artistic purposes. Photographed with Nikon D7100, Nikon 18-55 mm @ 18 mm. 1/400th, f16, ISO 400
