After moving to our new home (the construction project that I've been working on the past year), I had been hoping to find some landscapes nearby that could be my 'go to' subjects to photograph. So, we set off one evening after a rain storm passed to get acquainted with our new neighborhood. Roaming the back roads, we stumbled across this barn and I stepped out of the car to grab this shot across the hood of the car with my cell phone. My thought was to just get a feel for the composition, but it turned out to be fairly interesting lighting. I regret that the cell phone couldn't manage the highlights too well, but now I have a destination for sunsets and will be sure to take my D750 with me from now on!

Oh, I love barns. Thanks for posting!
That's a beautiful picture. You know a thing or two about composition and lighting.
That’s a wonderful image, Diane! Your well composed image captured a moment when all the elements in scene came together for a dramatic but calming pastoral scene.

Glad to have you drop in, Bob. When I started partnering up for travel photography, my Mississippi 'farm boy' buddy instilled a lasting appreciation in me for wooden barns.

Thanks so much, guardineer! Wish my knees would cooperate with some of the angles I would like to shoot from. This spot is a 'keeper' for getting a nice composition without crouching, crawling under, tiptoeing, or climbing over rocks and fences.

Glad you like this one, StanMac. I am keeping an eye out for a good sunset next. I think mornings will have to wait until spring when there's a better chance for side lighting.
