Barn Again

I am coming right back at you with more barn photos. I'll begin with the final capture that I took on that day with Nick. The angular distortion is due to the effect from my wide angle lens. Frankly, I sometimes like wide angle distortion, and I like this photo. This last photo of the shoot was almost an afterthought. I was really done but Nick was still shooting, so I took another for something to do. Oddly enough, I think it may be my fave of the shoot.

As with some of the other photos, both yesterday and today, this was two-shot HDR merge in post processing: one exposure for the barn and a darker exposure to bring out some detail in the sky.

This is another Photoshop double exposure that I described doing yesterday, and it is almost the same as yesterdays' photo, but nothing is ever exactly the same.

While I converted many to mono, I kept this in colour. I like the bits of rusty red here and there.

Back to mono.

Finally, a true in-camera double exposure: a barn shot and a grass shot. The grass is a little too dominant over the barn, but the abstract is kind of interesting and fun. I probably could have achieved better results by doing it in Photoshop rather than in-camera, but it is also fun to see what the camera comes up with. I saw Nick’s version of this photo, or of a very similar one, and the overlying grass was not as dominant in his version. Different cameras behave in different ways. 

It was muddy on the farm and the light wasn’t special on this occasion, but perhaps we will return. I am thinking that it will be drier and warmer in another month, but, of course, there will be bugs by then. Sigh.
