Real Barn meets miniature truck
I photographed this large, well maintained old barn in Haddam CT. For fun I then photographed a 1950’s 3″ long diecast model toy truck in my studio. Using photoshop I then put the truck in the driveway of the barn just for fun. Barn photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp, mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-70 f2.8 GMII lens @ 45mm. 1/125th, f11, ISO 200, Aperture Priority

Beautiful barn with (3) silos, Haddam CT
This folks is the reason I chase barns and capture their imges to retain throughout history, even long after some of them are gone. They are simply beautiful. Here’s what sets this barn apart for me. It sloping roof. It’s cluster of three silos. Two are fairly common but three not so much and of varying heights and widths. I know I probably need therapy but silo’s do it for me. I think my barn pictures always have more character and story telling potential when a silo is involved. Lastly that old gnarly tree winding up the front left of the barn. Sweeeeeeet! In my research I couldn’t ascertain who…

Barn Beauties on the CT coastline (5 STARS)
These two barns sit almost directly across from one another along a well travelled CT coastal country road. If you’re one to pay any attention to old barns what will immediately strike you is their absolute pristine, new like, appearance. The roofs are brand new, the cladding does not show one board that is so much as slightly warped. None of the boards even have signs of aging at ground level where you tend to see it most. New looking storm windows are in place and on the larger barn there were even some small windows that were added which are not typical of barns. The sliding front doors on…

Miniature Truck in a Big World
For this shot I photographed a 6″ metal diecast model of a 1940 Ford Pickup truck that I bought new for $23.00 at a flea market. I video taped it on a 360 deg. turnstile and also shot still photography images. I then inserted the tabletop shot of the truck into a previous picture of a tobacco barn that I had taken. I did add the signage on the side of the truck from an image I found on google images (garageartsigns.com). The barn is located somewhere in north central CT which is rich in tobacco barns. I didn’t record where the picture was taken. Settings for the diecast model…

Horses Grazing at The Butterfly Farm, Lincoln RI
The Butterfly Farm 667 Great Rd., (Rte. 123) Lincoln, RI 02865 While in Lincoln RI I spotted this beautiful farm scene that I had photographed years ago. However, this time it had two horses grazing in the field. In addition the sky was warm and the fence in the foreground had an interested break. These are the kinds of scenes I relish and look for.
