Pretty nice, Wuligal. And to think, all of those buildings are constructed by hand, no power tools.

It's possible but may not necessarily true. Having lived in Amish country for 5 years, when it comes to a business and their self production, power equipment is used sometimes. I have seen electricity in barns for milking, but not in their homes. Most construction is with hand tools but certain areas of construction, power tools are used.

I have one other photo of the barn but it's from the same side, just a slightly different angle.
I also included the first photo in color. Thank you for your kind words.

I'd be hard put to choose a favorite - both are wonderful renditions.

While the first image is very nice, I think the second one with the leading lines of the fencing and lane is the better composed of the two. Excellent job on both of them!
I agree with Sue - and the addition of the windmill makes the shot for me...

I'm agreeing with everyone else! Beautiful stuff. I spent a week in SW Wisconsin recently, and I didn't get any shots of older barns. I'd love another go at it.
The b&w is beautifully done--I was wondering if it was shot on infrared. Showing my age!

No infrared.....It was shot in color and desaturated in Photoshop. I don't know about Wisconsin but here in western Pennsylvania most of the barns are not well cared for because the small farms are being gobbled up by the giant corporations. The Amish are the exception.
Thank you for your generous words.

I knew it wasn't infrared--but what a medium that was! I have some good stuff shot on Konica Infrared 120, which wasn't as touchy as Kodak's 135 IR.
Desaturated? I'll have to look into that. Beautiful effect. And great framing. I'm still trying to figure out where that windmill is behind the tree. You're obviously on the other side of the pond, but is the tree that thick?
I grew up in the DC 'burbs; when I went home and inherited one of the cars, I drove back to AZ. My route took me through western MD, and that SW corner of PA/WV/PA--or however that worked! Beautiful country.Phoenix, not so much.

I shoot in color and use the "black and white" app in photoshop to desaturate because i can adjust the color sliders - that's how I get the infrared effect (sort of like using a filter on the camera with monochrome film).
Shhh, don't tell anyone but I never got out of the car for the barn shot. I backed up to get the shot with the reflection then pulled forward beyond the willow tree for the shot with the windmill. The road had a slight curve in the direction of the barn.
Hope this helped with your questions.
