    Heritage Farm, Bolton CT

    Beautiful Heritage Farm Barn with it’s majestic silo sits hi atop the hillside in scenic Bolton CT.  I was quite a considerable distance away for this shot as they owned a lot of acreage around the barn and I’m limited to shooting from the roadside. I called on my Nikon 80-400 mm lens to get the reach I needed.  Remember one of the advantages of a cropped sensor, (compared to full frame sensor’s), is that you get the advantage of a multiplier.  This Nikon camera extends every lens by a multiplier of 1.5.  So basically instead of 400 mm I had a reach of 600 mm.  This allowed me to…

    Old barn, 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…

    Beautiful aging barns in Woodbury CT

    Nicely maintained and structurally sound cluster of two barns and a shed in Woodbury CT. The barn on the right is not fully seen in the image. SUGGESTION:  While photographing I walked up and down the roadway shooting these barns from various angles in my reflective vest. At one point the homeowner was in the driveway and glanced over at me quickly.  Very politely I said, from the roadway, that I’d like to explain what I was doing.  Still without setting foot on the property and making this person feel uneasy I explained that I’m just a hobby photographer who travels around the state photographing old barns.  I explained that…
