Abandoned Barn 2

 Easterly end of abandoned barn in colour

This is the other end of the log barn I posted on Monday HERE   It was a very bright day when I took this photo and - looking in this direction - the weathered wood looks a bit "washed out." We were just traveling through so I didn't want to wait for less harsh light. When I darkened it a bit, the wood took on a bluish cast, which wasn't at all what I had seen with my naked eye...

  Easterly end of abandoned barn in black and white

so I decided to see what this end of the barn looked like in B&W.

And this is what the other end of the barn looked like in B&W. The colour version is HERE .

    Empty barns feel like empty souls. It needs a second chance. Lovely photo!

    Sometimes these kinds of subjects look "better" in b&w. As does this one. Nice work!

    This old barn was a good candidate for the black and white treatment.

    I think the black and white shows the details best. You know I really like black and white photos though.

    I like both the black and white, 1 an 2 and also like the blue cast. the light sure changes the look of colors.

    I think that these old barns are perfect for the black and white treatment EG, gives them a new lease of life in a way.

    The B&W did the trick for this shot.

    Black and white is ideal for the shot. A stiff breeze and that's the end of this.

    Like the black and white. Even sadder looking. Looks like the "old west".

    That is a fascinating old building in colour and in black and white, would be a great subject for a painting.

    Poor old beauty! The two front walls with windows look like they will be the last part to fall down

    I am usually a color guy, but this time I have to admit that b&w is somewhat stronger...

    Black and White is always an alternative option, and often it looks much better!

    Great black and whites. These bring out the age and the texture and lines of the woods.

    This is a case in which the black and white really does work better.

    The black & white did the trick. It's hard sometimes to see such a great subject and be stuck with light that's less than perfect.
