JACK LARSON PHOTOGRAPHY
Barn
Posted by john4jack (Corvallis, Oregon, United States) on 21 January 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.
This was taken with my G10 while out bicycling. The effect was created with Silver Efex Pro.
I cried many a tear on January 20, tears of joy, tears of hope, tears of gratitude.

I love these tones, this composition. A lovely weathered old image in modern day.

@bluechameleon: Thanks, Sharon. It's amazing what changing the tonalities can do for an image.
Toni from Eastern Washington, United States
This is really a beautiful image, Jack. I love the processing you did. I was right there with you, fighting back tears all day long, since I was at work. I let them flow when I got home - my dogs didn't care. =)

@Toni: I have never experienced anything quite like this day, Toni.

exquisite My shot of the day. It seems to have been a great day for Americans and I hope for our world as a whole

@jamesy: Jamesy, Obama clearly sees all of us in this together as a global community.

There are some places like this one... timeless... nothing has moved... great filter too. Effective.

A beautifully timeless shot, detailed and striking. Like stepping back into the glorious past whilst we look forward to a glorious future under the new leadership

marianne from France
quelle athmosphère, c'est magnifique !!!
je pense que ce sont des silos à grain, mais de quelle céréale s'agit il ?
beaucoup de douceur dans le traitement, j'aime beaucoup !
21 Jan 2009 12:02pm
@marianne: Marianne, I think that it is a grain elevator, but I am not certain.
Polydactyle from Montreal, Canada
Excellent old atmosphere here! I like your vignettage, verry effective!

Alivia from Saint-Etienne, France
C'est magnifiquement traité, c'est comme un retour en arrière, une vue sur une sorte d'endroit deshumanisé, le sépia lui va bien ta photo parle d'hier., super.

Diane Schuller from Hythe, Canada
a beautiful serene image and the choice of treatment works so well.
I'm from Canada and was glued to the TV to watch the inauguration -- as were so many other Canadians.

@Diane Schuller: Diane, Hopefully Obama will help bring some of the civility that you have in Canada to the US. We used to live in Sequim, WA, and could see Victoria from our house. We loved to visit Canada, primarily because of your people.
Shirin Moosavi from Tehran, Iran
Love the all white sky and the sepia tone.
Barack Hussein Obama; an international citizen loved by many. Congratulations on your new leader Jack!

@Shirin Moosavi: It was a grey overcast day.
Suzanne from Huntington Bch, California, United States
A perfectly lovely, nostalgic shot and you've added to the effect with the processing. Reminds me some photos in a very old family from some of my ancestors.
21 Jan 2009 5:23pm
@Suzanne: Thanks, Suzanne. The barn, etc, were very interesting, but the light was super poor; so it really needed a little something.
Pradeep from Chennai, India
Lovely work, the processing really works...timeless :)

Laurie from New Jersey, United States
Love, Love, Love this one. It has a great nostalgia about it.
21 Jan 2009 9:25pm
@Laurie: Thank you, Laurie. When I'm using my G10, I don't even think about a D700; which is interesting since noise in ISO above 400 (and even at 400) is one of the few shortcomings of a G10.
JJ from Jersey City, United States
Fantastic shot, I am sure the world over there were many tears of happiness yesterday

Barbara from Florida, United States
This is outstanding. Love the composition and tone. The soft fade around the edges really give this an old time feel.
All day I have felt like the world has transformed itself in 24 hours. People woke up different today. Still in awe.
22 Jan 2009 3:07am
@Barbara: Thank you, Barbara.
About waking up today, Absolutely!!
Bhavvish from Dallas, United States
Nice tone. It as thought it pulls you through a flashback swirl.

amy from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
The nostalgic/vintage look is really the perfect choice for this, Jack! Excellent image! And it's a grain/feed hopper... a grain elevator is a huge building (usually red)... actually, they're the buildings in my prairie memories images.
22 Jan 2009 4:26am
@amy: Right; I knew that what I said was wrong, but I didn't have the right word. Thanks for helping us all out.
Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
Beautifully toned! Well done Jack!

Wow,,,
Toning is really Great... Nicely Captured indeed!

Simple with great post processing. Works really well!
The 20th was a special and emotional and hopeful day!!

Denise from Perry, United States
This is beautiful, I love taking photos of barns, did my share back last summer ( posted ?? August??). Will begin again in the spring at the farm where my sons and I work, my eldest for money, me for the emotional therapy after a difficult week and our youngest for the fun. Once sumemr comes we are there every day , keeps me in shape. I love the processing you took with this one, I belive this would house heifers in a free stall type of barn. The grain bin probably holds chopped grain and supplement.
