Barn Hunting

For Mother's Day Bryce and Emily got me a new camera. The camera I got is a Nikon D3000. It shoots really good photos and it makes me want to learn how to take better pictures.

That being said I don't want to photograph people for portraits, though I do want to capture my family. However, I want to take pictures of nature and the sky and get ready for it...BARNS!! I have always loved driving along the interstate or a country road and seeing old barns and tattered houses. I don't like new, pretty barns. I like the old ready to blow over with the next strong gust of wind type. The kind that are all weathered with broken windows. The kind with holes in the roof. The kind that makes you wonder who or what used to live there.

This last weekend I got the chance to go out with my photographer friend Sabrina. We drove south down to Kindred and back up near Grandin. We had no plan other than to keep our eyes open and drive. I was surprised at what we found. We have plans to go out again when the weather changes everything from green to golds and oranges. I am lucky too because my pal is also teaching me a few tricks on how to take better photos! I hope you enjoy some of my photos...I sure do!
