I don’t know why but I seem to have a thing for barns! I found this one between Duvall and Carnation, I actually have no idea where it is but I’m calling it Carnation for this posting. The barn was right next to a big cow shed full of cows eating and I took quite a few pictures of them too. But it was a litte dark and the cows kept moving so the images didn’t come out as well. I was also going as fast as I could as I didn’t want some angry farmer to come out and give me a hard time, fortunately that never happened.
Anyway the sun was going down and this barn looked really good. I loved the textures in the wood and the things hanging inside the barn were cool too. I took a few pictures of the barn, one from the side (this one below) and a couple from the front, but the frontal ones didn’t look as good – the building had too much wide angle distortion and I didn’t catch the orange sky that’s off to the left in the image below.
The barn had a load of cables coming off the roof and they really ruined the image. So I took all those out in post processing. I also tone mapped the image to bring out some of the shaded areas and give the sky a little drama and ended up with the image below. Oh there was also a huge tire in the bottom right hand corner that was just distracting, so I took that out too. Pretty pleased with the end result though.
The guys unpacked their new Nokia 920 today, it’s a white one. Very “stormtrooper”.
