About the Image(s)

This is another older picture from my collection I took down the road from our house shortly after we moved here in 2010. I was working on a photo essay on old barns and took a few different shots of this one over the year. I had also been experimenting with HDR for a few years and used that with this image. I included an alternative view and edit taken on the same day. There are things I like and dislike about each image, especially looking back at them 15 years later. I think the vignetting on the main picture is a little heavy handed, and these days I would have cloned out the cables that were holding up the silo and the power cable going to the barn on the left. I do like the alternative picture for the snow-covered mountains, but I don’t feel like the fence posts act as a good foreground subject. Getting rid of them feels like it would be too empty though. If I were to go back and edit it now I might use a 16x9 crop to cut off the lower half of the frame.
