Old Tobacco Barns

Great shots with good clarity, color and composition. These are some great old sheds that deserve preservation for nothing more than for their photographic value. You did them justice and I really like how you reigned in the PP work........

If you fill the frame you don't have to worry about composition. Just a thought...loved your photos...

And one more
"and one more" is absolutely perfect & would look great properly matted & framed. As to cropping, every photographer's view is different -- that's what makes viewing others' work so interesting. If you have doubts, shoot more than one way to review results later. Whether to frame tight or far is an issue with midwest and western barns as well. Each has its place, depending on the subject and whether showing additional context works. Also don't be afraid to get up really close to show fine details and textures in that old wood. Neat stuff.

Nehall...I like them all but the last one gets my vote. it is something about these type of pictures that take me back into the day of yesteryear. Good shooting.

Try using Smart Photo Editor for a quick way to change your photo. I am new to photo editing and I find it easy and fun and you get professional looking results. I love the barns. My grandfather used to grow tobacco years ago and I still own part of their farm in VA. Keep adding old buildings, I like to see them!!!!!

I love these old tobacco barns that dot the countryside here in Rockingham County NC. Took these yesterday on the way to Autumn Creek Vineyards in Mayodan, NC.

They remind me of Bob Ross' paintings. He always found a way to tuck an old shed/house somewhere in his paintings. Your photography is the same way - it invites the viewer to pause for a moment and look. Thanks for sharing.
What a nice comment! Thank you. I loved watching Bob Ross paint. He made it look so easy.
