I've sort of started an unofficial project to photograph the barns that are rapidly being replaced by metal machine shed here in Farm Country. Particularly over the Ogallala Aquifier, precious farmland is being harvested from what was formerly the homestead and livestock area of the family farms. The houses and barns are often allowed to fall into disrepair, if not bulldozed to make room for pivot irrigation.
I've already regretted not preserving many unusual barns that are now history. I've decided to try to take the time to capture those that I can, before they are all gone. This one was taken on Sunday, south of Snyder, Nebraska - a small town that will be celebrating its 125th anniversary later this month. Used the superb 77mm Limited at f/8, where it naturally excelled. https://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/18422287348/ Comments and criticism welcome in equal measure. -- Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
