Description I've been wanting to shoot this Barn for a while, I had scoped it out but it never seemed right. I needed a sunset in the background.

So I noticed the clouds were great as the sun was setting tonight and raced out the door with my camera. By the time I got there, the clouds weren't great but it still created a very dynamic range. The inside of the barn was very dark in the failing light, the last exposure in this set of 7 being 30 seconds to fill the beams in the barn.

Great title, it manages to incorporate into the shot what would otherwise be a major distraction. Obviously it also changes the subject matter of the photograph from beautiful sunrise/set to something more akin to "You're not allowed in my beautiful space."

Whether or not it was intentional at the time of shooting, it certainly was clever.

Well, it was not something that I intended to leave in the shot honestly. I walked half-way to the post to rip it down before deciding that incorporating it might work in the overall scheme.

I was very aware of it when taking the shots, hence it being centered.

Well, I actually didn't believe it was intentional due to its centering. I guess the Rule of Thirds isn't a convention.

Hehe, no certainly not. Actually I haven't heard the rule of thirds mentioned since high school.

The college I go to, most of the instructors in the visual arts laugh at works that don't.

Btw, I just reread my statement. That's not an ego thing, I just chuckled when you first said the rule of thirds because it really has been so long since I've heard it taken seriously as a firm rule in the art world.

Hmm... I guess to each his own. 7 years in art school and a BFA in photography. I think I heard it mentioned in my freshman year as a rule that's ok to be broken, like every other rule.

I'm not saying either is wrong, just wasn't something I had heard in a while.

Generally when the students critique each others works, they toss photos off the table for certain things. Just saying things like "cliche" or "centered." In the painting studio it is a thousand times more brutal, but its o.k. because I don't paint.

Hehe, yeah I've been through plenty of critiques where people left crying. I miss them.

beautifull
i really like the way you got this barn captured!
you're right about it needing a sunset, it gives a far greater perspective and warmer fealing for me
but the sunset really hurts my eyes
a little over-done there towards my feeling

very nice work!
