Autumn Country Barn

kkart · Oct 12, 2006

Captured outside of Golden Gate Canyon State Park here in Colorado. Had to be VERY fast with this shot, as I was stopped in the middle of a 1 lane road with traffic coming up behind me, luckily I wasn't driving on this day

So hung out the window, braced myself and shot away! I was pretty excited when I saw the whole scene, but knew it was a 50/50 chance of getting it. Well...this is the outcome. C&C welcomed

Nice, John. Your circular polarizer really helped on this one.

What a beautiful shot.

I think that I really have to learn how to use a circular polarizer.

Awwww :cry: :cry: :cry: --- here is the word again (and obvious use of one): circular polariser :cry: :cry: :cry: --- and mine is still resting forever in that stretch of wilderness on the side of the main road where I lost it in February :cry: :cry: :cry:

For to have one and use one well has such GOOD results.
Just look here!
Congratulations on spotting, framing and capturing the scene so well on such extremely short "notice"!!!

Very nice capture, you nailed it. I always seem to choke on shots I can't take my time with. Well done.
