    Picture perfect barn in Woodbury CT

    On the way back from a photoshoot in Roxbury Cheryl and I, by chance, happened upon this beautiful old barn in Woodbury. It’s been in the family for many years and belonged to the current owners Grandfather. This is not its original site as the entire barn and foundation were moved here at one time. There had been an addition in the rear which had suffered a collapse. This is one of the most beautiful barns I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing with its unique styling and weathered barn board. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-70 F2.8 GMII lens @ 52mm. 1/4 second,…

    Barn/House? Woodbury CT

    As I was parked on the side of a rather busy road with my wife in the car so I took this image rather quickly. As a result I didn’t really study the grounds and when I got home to look at the image I wasn’t sure if this was a barn or a re-purposed barn that became someones home. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61MP mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-70 F2.8 GM II lens @ 33mm. 1/50th, f8, ISO 100, Aperture Priority

    Abandoned Silo in Woodbury CT

    Cheryl and I were photographing barns in the Woodbury/Roxbury area when she spotted this old abandoned silo off in a field. I immediately turned the car around and drove down a very short dirt road to this beautiful relic of a silo. I always find beauty in abandoned buildings, barns, silo’s etc. not to mention the “story” I conjure up in my mind of what life was like back in the day. I found this silo particularly beautiful in its own right complete with graffiti. It was surrounded by woods as far as the eye could see, except on the south side where the main road cut through not far…

    Pristine Colorfully Warm Barn – Woodbury CT

    This is the second of three barns that Cheryl and I were able to photograph today in Woodbury CT. This main barn is actually much longer than it appears from this camera angle. If you look closely you can see where it juts out in the rear and the length continues considerably. This entire property from the grounds, to the farm house and the three barns is absolutely pristine. You can’t even find a paint chip. It was quite obvious that these barns are quite old but no worse for wear. They almost appear brand new, at a glance, due to the exceptional level of maintenance that was afforded them.…

    The barn on the hill – Woodbury CT

    Cheryl and I were fortunate enough to find this beautiful barn. We’ll be back a couple of more times to chase down more barns in this rural old town. We were quite pleased with the way it sat atop the hill with a field of wild flowers or possibly just ragweed. Either way they offered up some nice bright yellow for the foreground. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42 MP, mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-105 mm F4 lens at 105mm. ISO 1250, 1/200th, F16, Aperture Priority

    Picture perfect!

    First on our list of barns to photograph this Saturday afternoon in April was this absolutely pristine barn in Woodbury CT. We chase barns and we’ve seen a lot of them but few will stack up to the maintenance that this barn has seen over the years. It was so well kept that I almost thought someone was living in it. However, I couldn’t see any drapery in the windows so I’d have to assume that it still functions as a barn. It’s was absolutely beautiful with the addition of a main entrance and an add on room to the rear. Photographed with a Sony A7RII 42.4 MP mirrorless, full…

    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…
