I love photographing old barns, so when I passed this Boxley Valley farm while working in the Buffalo National River area over the summer of 2020 I knew I needed to include it. Well, the opportunity came after I hiked in for a sunset that never materialized into anything usable. I stopped to shoot an abandoned homestead, and after packing up I checked my astro app to see if the Milky Way would be visible that night — and discovered it was already right on the horizon. I figured the mountains would make it difficult to really see the astrological marvel, so I headed back to my camper. But I pulled over to experiment after seeing hordes of fireflies in a field. While checking the back of my camera after a series of shots, I could clearly see the Milky Way stretched above. I quickly packed up and headed straight for the old barn. It was amazing! I worked quietly, since the barn's owner lives right across the road and set up my camera on a tripod so the Milky Way was taking up most of the sky. I exposed to capture the wonderful night sky, but that left the barn in complete darkness. So I used a small LED panel to light up the barn and fences, walked about 30 yards to the right of the camera and used a remote trigger to trip the shutter. This is NOT a composite photo: Instead, it is a single frame made possible by the use of the LED panel to create a balanced exposure.
This photo is available for purchase as satin fine-art prints, satin metal prints, canvas gallery wraps and acrylic prints.
