Alberta Grain Barn

Please give your feedback on this. Thanks!

Yea!! Christal's back :-)

 

An excellent shot to return to active duty with. Beautiful b/w conversion with a full range of tones. Love the old grain barn as a subject... Mike

 

 

Thanks, Mike! Glad you like it. We visited some friends in Edmonton, then drove back to Calgary on country roads. It was sure a lot more interesting than the Interstate! We found this great little town with an active train track.....it was fun. I have lots more pictures, but I have a terrible work flow, and it takes me forever to load them.

Great shot Christal. Very well composed and a great job on the conversion to b/w. This is really "Palouse " like. There are a lot of these types of structure here and so this picture has a very comfortable feel to me. You take care and look forward to more.Jim

A fabulous shot of these old beauties Christal! What town was this in? There's not a lot of these grain elevators left standing anymore. Most have been knocked down for liability reasons. Nice work.

All the best,

Neil

Thanks for your interest in this. Yes, the eastern Alberta Badlands are very similar to the Palouse, and there is the similar problem of having difficulty pulling off the road for photo ops. We drove from Edmonton to Calgary via the back roads and happened upon this cute little town of Stettler, NE of Calgary. I'll enclose the color version so you can see the unusual color of the distant building. Please let me know which version you prefer. Thanks, fellas!

Christal,

This is a beautiful photo, I think I like the black & white best. Oh I don't know ,they are both really nice shots. Great capture. Regards, Patsy

I like the BW version. It is perfect for these rural buildings. Regards

I like both versions, but I think the black and white is more elegant, though the bright colors and light are fantastic in the colored version....very well balanced composition, the angle of the RR tracks makes a great lead-in. I like the geometric shapes of the building and the drama in the sky...well captured, excellent conversion to black and white....:)

Really liking your latest submissions. This one of the grain elevator is really crisp and very well composed. Awesome. Also, thanks for your kind comments on my road trip photos...

Remarkable picture, with a fantastic variation of grey tones.....Simple and powerfu...

Wonderful scene and elegantly composed. I definitely like the B&W version. Maybe you gave excessive contrast and lost a bit of detail on the highs; I think a more natural conversion would work better but that's a matter of personal taste! Ciao.

Really nice B&W work Christal. The viewpoint is very well chosen to angle the tracks as a lead in and then process for drama in the light.

Very nice

All my best,   Bill
