A perfect barn in Southbury.
I’ve been after this barn for months but there were always cars parked in front of it and people working in or around it which precluded me from taking the shot. Although, this day, there was one person working in the barn I knew it wouldn’t get much better than this so I took my shots. With no real place to park my car I just idled across the street for a brief second to take the wide angle shot. I left, changed lenses, then returned idling once again for another second or two and took my closer shots. I must say this is one of the most pristine nicely…

Old barn in Avon.
Cheryl and I were driving through Avon just enjoying the fall day. Virtually every barn we passed I had photographed before years ago, including this one. However, we liked this particular camera angle and the fall weather so I decided to photograph it once again. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp mirrorless camera in APS-C crop mode. I used a Sony 24-70 F2.8 GMII lens @ 94mm. 1/50th, f16, ISO 100, Aperture Priority

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. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-70 F2.8 GMII lens @ 38…

Beautiful old aging barn in Southbury
To me this barn is very striking. It appears to sit abandoned in the middle of the woods with no lead in road or path. Father time is having it’s way as the foliage creeps in around it and the paint fades. Two things I found unique. There is about 6′ overhang on the side nearest the viewer. You don’t see that on barns. The silo is also unique as well as the silos roof. The silo almost has a “home made” look to it but I’m sure was functional and I think gives this barn a lot of character. It’s a true relic. Photographed in the winter with a…

Couple of Barns in Southbury CT
These two barns were loated on a very narrow dirt road. I wasn’t expecting this. I couldn’t get far enough back to frame these shots as I would have wanted to. I, unfortunately needed a super wide angle lens which was left home accidentally. A neighbor came out and told me that the grey barn is very very old but she didn’t know the year it was built. Both were photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24.3 MB, mirrorless camera and a Sony Carl Zeiss 24mm, f1.8 lens: Red Barn: 1/160th, f11, ISO 100, Aperture priority Grey Barn: 1/125th, F11, ISO 200, Aperture priority

Nice maintained old barn in Watertown, CT
Cheryl and I were combing Watertown looking for old barns. The town didn’t seem to have many. This barn is the nicest one we could find and it has been kept up over the years very nicely. It sits on a stone foundation which is the only hint of its age but the remainder is pristine. These folks obviously have made the effort and it shows. Photographed with a Sony Nex-7, 24.3 mp mirrorless camera and a Sony 18-55 lens at 27mm (APS-C equiv.= 40mm). I/800th, F8, ISO 800, Aperture Priority

Cooke Farm, Muddy Roots Farm, Wallingford CT
I lived in Wallingford during the 50’s, 60’s and 80’s so it has a soft spot in my heart. I remember this as the old Cooke’s Farm. A farm that has been in Wallingford, at this location since the 1700’s and passed down from generation to generation. It’s situated on Northford Rd in East Wallingford not far from the Northford town line. It appears that it is still in the family and the tradition continues. It currently goes by the name Muddy Roots Farm. As you can clearly see the family has taken care of the barns all these years as they are in beautiful condition to this day. I’m…

One of Northfords best barns
We had gotten a light snow fall and wanted to head over to this beautiful barn in Northford CT not far from the Wallingford line. We were hoping for more snowfall than we got but it was nice to photograph this beautiful scene anyways. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-70 F2.8 GM II lens @ 39mm. 1/200th, f16, ISO 800, Aperture priority, (2) image focus stack.
