I went to town for a few things this morning and on my way back, the yellow tamarack in this scene caught my eye. Thankfully I had my Rebel with me, so I got a few shots of it right out the window of the Jeep. I also took some hand-held HDR shots, but when I processed them, I found I liked the originals better. I did tweak the colors a bit, though.
I went out last Sunday after church and took some HDR shots of one of my favorite barns. The barn belongs to the Tomasczewski family and I go out there every now and then to photograph it. I’ve taken fall shots of it before, but never in HDR, so that’s what I did on Sunday.
This is the “tunneled” road on the way to the barn.
Last Saturday I went to a few spots and took some HDR shots. I really like the way they turned out, and I decided to post the originals along with the HDR’s for comparison.

I left for work early yesterday so I would have time to stop and take pics instead of shooting while driving. This what I came up with.
This is the old blacksmith shop in Armstrong Creek, WI. in all 4 seasons. I wanted to give some history on this building, but I can’t find any. If I ever do though, I’ll post it.

This barn belongs to a friend of mine who lives just a few miles away. This is another of the old builidings in the area that fascinate me and I thought it would be an excellent subject to photograph in all 4 seasons.

I have always been fascinated by old buildings. It doesn’t matter if it’s barns or houses, as long as they’re old. I was looking through my pics today and decided that old doors would make for an interesting post. Not all the pics are of barn doors, in fact a few are of barn walls.
This is the old dancehall in Armstrong Creek, WI.
This is a little shack that sits just at the edge of the woods south of Armstrong Creek, WI. I don’t know the history of it other than a man nicknamed “Shorty” lived there many years ago. This shack is very small, about 12 feet wide and only about 8 feet deep, yet it’s charm is endless. If I ever manage to get any history on this little piece of the past, I’ll be sure to post it.

This is an old barn located on Old Smith School Lane in Armstrong Creek, WI. The house caved in years ago, but the barn still stands strong.
