Give me a green star!

A green star. You see these on many old homes, barns and buildings in the Midwest. I'm not sure why but someone thought it might indicate the owner is a Western Star "Mason".


This image was taken on Kelley's Island, Ohio.

Three shuttered windows and wall

I'm still working with bleaching and de-saturation effects. I took two fairly drab images with interesting compositions, pushed the contrast and leeched out the colors (sometimes color distracts). It's not quite black & white but this treatment brings out the detail.


Three shuttered windows. Nothing special about the exposure. Just good, sharp Canon glass.


Same thing with this image. It went from low contrast to high contrast in Lightroom 1.1 in order to separate the ivy from the wall.

Barn Walls

-- CLICK ON ANY IMAGE TO ENLARGE --

Weathered barns are always an attraction. The colors are muted and faded. They show their wear and tear. And sometimes you get ivy wrapping itself around it.



These two images are from the same barn in Lake County.


This barn side is from Portage County near Ravenna.
