One of Harwinton CT’s best ………..
This beauty was on our list of shots that day in Harwinton CT. As I pulled up I knew I had a winner but the sun was destroying the shot. It was in the low 90’s that afternoon. There were some clouds overhead. Cheryl patiently waited in the car as I stood on the street edge for at least 25 minutes waiting for cloud cover. Eventually it happened. I had nice diffused daylight for about 30 seconds. I got the shot I needed and was on my way. Some barn scenes click with you, some don’t. There was something about this barn that I liked.

Harwinton Barn scene
Just as a side note I’ve been shooting barns a long time in CT and Harwinton has got to have the most barns of any town I can remember. This particular scene is part of a several acre lot home to horse stables and riding area’s. However, this was the only barn I had a decent shot on without entering the property. I had the pleasure of working with my beautiful wife Cheryl today. Photographed with a Sony A7RII 42.4 MP full frame and a Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 57mm. 1/400th, f11, ISO 640, Aperture Priority

An interesting barn lies almost out of view …………
It was a hot Saturday afternoon in Harwinton CT while Cheryl sat in the cool of the car and I hopped out for a second to take this shot through the trees. This was not a planned shot, we happened upon this barn while on our way to another location. There was no access to the barn and it was only visible through a slight opening in the trees. Unfortunately there was a much larger, white colored, barn in the back ground which interrupts the flow of the image slightly. At first glance I thought this was an “A” frame barn which I can’t remember ever seeing. However, when I…

It’s a one horse show…………..
Another day of barn hunting with my beautiful wife Cheryl. This barn was on a fairly well traveled route through Harwinton CT. However, having said that bear in mind Harwinton only has population of about 5000 people so it’s still a nice country road. I only had this one angle on the barn and I couldn’t wait for the horse to be in a better position because I was being eyeballed by an individual who I don’t think wanted me there. So it was one and done and out in a minute for this photographer. Fortunately I was able to walk away with an acceptable image. Photographed with a Sony…

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!

Takes a hit but is still standing…………………….
Cheryl and I were pleasantly surprised at how beautiful this old barn looked when we pulled up to it. It was first on our list of barns this Saturday afternoon in Burlington CT. We clearly were starting our journey off on the right foot! In a state of abandonment it’s barely clinging to life. A collapsed roof on the left side and foliage that just won’t quit she still stands boldly with her giant silo as the sun lights her up from behind. From a historical standpoint I hate to see any barn fall in a state of disrepair or, worse yet, be torn down. From an artistic perspective sometimes…

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…
