There's something about barns. They speak to history, hard work, a way of life, and in some respects a kinder, gentler mindset. We see them all the time: on the outskirts of town, travels to ‘where we grew up' and vacations. Some barns we've seen so many times that we may not notice them anymore. Some barns just capture our interest every time we see them.
From the historical to the modern, from the classic red to stone, from bright and cheery to dark and mysterious, barns stand the test of time. We'll present several barns that may inspire you to pause and take a few shots the next time you pass by.
Mysterious
Soft morning light combined with a blanket of fog adds a sense of mystery to the fall foliage.
The snow, colors and post processing treatment give this smartphone photo a sense of magic. Even if you don't have your traditional camera with you, capture the moment anyway. You may be pleasantly surprised with the result.
Seeing a barn in the distance can be as impactful as being up close. The bright red against the green with a touch of a rainbow offers a pallet of contrasting brights.
Where there's black and white, there's also the opportunity to infuse a splash of color. The faded red barn looked average in color, better in black and white, and more interesting using the faded red wood siding as points of interest.
Take a drive and explore country roads or nearby boarding stables. It's fair game to photograph from the road. If you want to photograph on the property, always get permission.
It will great to convert one of those to wedding venue ! Some just looks amazing
Glad it offered an idea!!
The Palouse region of Washington state is a mere 45 minute detour from the fastest route to visit my daughter near Spokane, although with stops that extra 45 minutes has been known to extend to 10 hours. So many barns, both active and abandoned, to photograph. My favorite has to be this one .
Love this photo Jerry! The light coming through the roof slats really complements the rustic feel! Thanks for sharing!
Stunning photos. Encourages me to get back in the “ring” and start shooting again.
Go Mary go!!! Get back in the ring!!
Thanks for the nice photos.
You’re very welcome Yick!
Reminds me of some of the barns in my town of Petaluma, Ca.
thanks David!
Absolutely beautiful…each one.!!
Glad you enjoyed Shayne!!
I love old barns. I thought that I was the only one to find them interesting to photograph.
They are awesome to photograph!
Beautiful photos everyone!
Thanks!!
Beautiful
Exceptional creativity. This is exactly what I’m working on now. I have a list of barns yet to shoot. Some work best in early morning or pre- Sunset light. Waiting for those foggy mornings on my favorite one. B/W gives them the circa of their time. But the faded reds tell a story too. Thanks for this blog.
Each barn has it’s own character. Love to photograph barns!! Love the editing…
