OK MT-shooter would you share the secret to how you prepped for the shot, I too have a 20mm and have not taken anything worth keeping and most certainly nothing worthy of posting, I'm wondering if you were laying on the ground.... though it appears you are a little higher, kneeling down maybe? I'm still trying to get the hang of the lens and any help is greatly appreciated.
Not kneeling, I am 6'5" tall and was standing full height, I would have liked to have even been a couple of feet higher. The sun was directly behind me at 2:00 in the afternoon which was fortunate as I really wanted that corner angle shot and that was the only time it would be equally lit. I was about 25 feet from the corner of the elevator when I took this shot. This was using a full frame camera, not DX, if that makes any difference.

I saw this abandoned granary the other day. The railroad tracks have long since been removed and it just sits there now. If you enlarge it you will see where someone has been using the upper level for target practice, still some arrows in the wood, but the don't look like they were original equipment! LOL
Shot with a Sigma 20mm F1.8 lens on a Nikon D800 body. No PP except to resize for posting.

Was the comunity that used to be there happened to be Gage, MT?
No, remnants of Gage still exist though. This elevator is about 6 miles East on Delphia Rd., just West of the intersection with W. Musselshell Rd.

Keepers come and keepers go, but the learning goes on forever!

Very nice shot, I love old buildings. I usually cannot get the sky and a dark building exposed together that well without pp. :thumbup:

Thank you,
un angle is everything. I saw this granary in the morning while looking for eagles, but knew the sun angle was wrong, thats why I went back in the afternoon when I could tell it would be better light. Timing can make all the difference in the world when it comes to natural light. I looked at this with a CPL also, but with the sun directly behind me it wouldn't add anything to the scene so I shot it bare. The other sides of the structure offered nothing interesting to me, it was this side I really wanted to shoot.

I finally found the granary on Google maps.
Clicking on Musselshel, Mt. got me in the middle of nowhere, but clicking Delphin Rd., Mt. I found it just right where MT said it would be. It's barely distinguishable, unlike that excellent MT photo.

Hey, I don't make these places up! LOL
Glad you found it, I haven't looked on Google Earth for it.
Just looked it up, here are the GPS coordinates:
46 degrees 30' 15.91" North
108 degrees 13' 16.88" West
Elevation 3058'
Its just standing there all by its lonesome, you can clearly see where the railroad used to pass by it.
