Its just an old rusty barn, but it made for a willing subject! It sat still the whole time. Thanks for looking, comments and crits are welcomed and appreciated.

Ben, thanks for taking the time. There was very little breeze, just enough that things moved...but not much. The field grass moved more from the grasshoppers.

I think the low angle of view and the sky make the shot, if not for the sky movement not sure it would have the punch that it does here.
I bet that old barn has many more angles to offer and wood and patina to show!
Nice image...

How the heck did you get to a 239sec exposure?

Karl, thanks for taking the time. I agree with you, the sky is one of the two subjects of the shot, no doubt. I was originally on my way to this spot to shoot a different shot, but that didn't pan out...I bet the barn has a lot more to offer, but I needed to be on my way.

239 seconds...was supposed to be 240. But with the 2 second self timer set on the camera, once the intervalometer was triggered, it ended up being 239...I also used my LEE Big Stopper and LEE .6GND at the dark end for an effective 12 stops of light cut out.

Thanks Sunny. Its funny, the camera was at normal height. The barn just sits up on a little knoll so it looks like I was low. I wish I had shot one just above the grass.

Travis, nice work here , using the 12 stops to get the cloud movement really makes this image. Regards,

Dean, thanks for taking the time. I had to take a guess at how long the exposure would need to be to get good movement...I didn't have a lot of time to set up...there was so little breeze and the light was changing fast.

Very cool! Love the composition. The extended exposure makes me think about the passage of time, which suits the Barn perfectly.

Hi Matt, thanks for taking the time to comment, glad it works for you. I like the way you think about it, great correlation.

My kind of subject, my kind of photo. Well done Travis!!!

This thread inspired me to pick up a 0.9 Lee ND filter today. I already have the Big Stopper, Soft Edge GND set but only had a screw on 3stop ND filter. A REAL PITA to deal with at the best of times. I emailed Lee about a 1.8 (6stop) ND filter and they are planning to make one next year. After filling a black log of orders for the Big Stopper! I will be in front of the line for that filter. SOOOO many times a 3stop is too weak and 10stop overkill. I end up having to compromise on camera settings to get the shutter speed I want. This is mostly during midday light and water falls but I know of many times where I wished I had a 6stop filter.

He y Scott, I thought this one might be up your alley...or your neck of the woods! Glad you like it, thanks for the kind words.

I need to get the LEE solid filters, I just use my .6 and .9 GND on the dark end when I need a little more...a 6 stop would be great...being LEE I am sure it will be a stellar piece of kit...I will keep my eye out for one of those.

Travis- A lovely image.
Between the subject itself, the perspective and comp you chose, the movement of the clouds and the wide angle/shutter speed combo emphasizing that movement, plus processing, blah, blah- you have an incredibly good photograph.
