I saw a similar shot of this Mail Pouch Tobacco Barn in Perkiomenville, PA that was taken back in 2007 and after researching the location and mapping it out, decided to take a trip down there today. I was hoping the rusting car would still be in the same place and the other shot I saw said this farm has been in exactly this same state for nearly 50 years. Luckily, the car was still there and it does not look to be going anywhere anytime soon.
I shot this as seven bracketed RAW frames at .7 stop increments and then combined them into an HDR with Photomatix Pro and finally, tone mapped that image. The new version 4 of Topaz Adjust was applied to bring out the old wood textures in the barn. I’m definitely coming back here some Summer morning when the light hits the barn properly to get a few more compositions.
