Unusual but beautiful barn in Plymouth CT
This rustic looking barn had some unusual touches like the boxed in “X” patterns. It sat nicely balanced between two tall tree’s with the sun coming in from behind lighting up the tree’s and parts of the lawn. The sign on the front reads “The Leach-Stanton” barn. It’s located on North St. in Plymouth CT. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikon 18-55, 3.5-5.6 @ 32mm (in 35mm: 48) 1/125th, f11, ISO 400, Aperture Priority

A old beauty on Tranquilty Rd., Middlebury CT
This combination farm house/barn/garage is absolutely a work of art. If I had to guess it was probably built in the late 1800’s with post and beam construction. Although it’s very beautiful from the road it’s true beauty is in the detail. If I was able to go into these structures it would take me back in time. Built with such fine craftsmanship that they stand solid today after all these years. These grounds have an absolutely breathtaking view of Middlbebury’s valley. You can literally see for miles on end. Situated on Tranquility Rd., in this neighborhood, you’ll find some of the most beautiful homes you could ever imagine. Some,…

Nicely maintained barn in Middleton CT
Looks like the owner of this attractive barn on the corner of Country Club Rd. and Bell St. in Middletown CT has kept up with the wood exterior nicely. It seems to have a nice even coat of stain and is aging nicely. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikon 18-55, 3.5 – 5.6 @ 26 mm. 1/320th, f8, ISO 200, Aperture Priority

A deer passes through in Madison
The only other time I photographed this barn was in the winter where the tree next to it was barren. I was rushed and shot it out of the window of my car and I momentarily pulled off to the side of the road. I was not pleased with the results and have been wanting to come back ever since. This was taken on Rt. 79. Folks that travel from Durham or Wallingford down to Madison pass this gorgeous barn all the time. They also know that this is a very busy, hi speed road, and the barn is situated on a curve in the road. This time I decided…

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.

A barn sits at the end of this long and winding road.
This was really the only vantage point I had on this barn. The road you see appeared to be private so I didn’t dare travel too far down it. There was some type of farm at the end but due to all the tree’s I couldn’t tell what kind of a farm it was. I had to use a long lens to even get this image. Sony Nex 7 mirrorless camera with Sony 55-210 @ 82mm (35mm equiv. = 123mm) 1/320th, f11, ISO 100, shutter priority TIP: when photographing with a long lens and you are hand holding set your shutter speed at least the same as the longest end…
