The Red Barn

Posted by Betsy Barron (Chester Springs, PA, United States) on 14 October 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Just back from a glorious weekend of photography with friends at Ed Heaton's Workshop at Pine Creek Gorge (aka The 'Grand Canyon' of Pennsylvania)

I learned a lot and made some terrific Fall images as it is peak color in the Allegheny mountains! To boot, the weather was perfection, as was the company! Thanks guys!

ps. I'm thinking of cropping out some sky to make this a stronger composition... what do you think??

Nice landscape photography... and I found it well balanced between ground and sky...

The depth is great, I really like the bales in front. I would crop a 1/5 at the top, to just below the white of the clouds. I think this brings the eye right to the barn, much stronger image.

Nice rural landscape, like the FG.
Reagarding one of my last upload, it was 30sec exposure

It's stunning and I think cropping a little of the sky changes the whole focus and gives the photo more depth of field. Oh how I wish I knew what I was talking about -- but I will soon. Love you,

It's good as is. But to crop out sky would be to emphasize the hay bales in the foreground, which I think would definitely strengthen the interest level in this shot as we gaze deeper toward the red barn.

It's a beautifully framed shot with the hay rolls in the foreground. A crop might not be a bad idea, but it is still a great image as is.

Ask yourself that famous question: "what is my subject?" The sky doesn't add anything to the composition, so off with its head! Doing so would emphasize the hay bales and the barn, which is a really cool composition. I would also crank up the saturation to emphasize the fall colors and that barn. Sounds like you guys had a very productive workshop with great weather and peak colors. Of course, I'm envious as hell.
