While traveling in Fayetteville, NC I found a old tobacco drying barn very close to my hotel that I had to explore. It was located in a very thick patch of woods surrounded by briars. Photographing the exterior was challenging. Even with a 17mm lens, it was hard to get far enough away from the structure to get it in the frame. When I was able to get farther away, it was difficult to find a clear shot due to all the brush.
Inside was dark and challenging to photograph without a tripod. I used my flash via sync cord to direct the flash and provide some illumination without it looking too much like flash. It took several attempts to dial the flash in. There isn't much to shoot inside except a dirt floor and drying racks.
I was hoping that this spot would be a great place to light paint, but the location was too thorny and interior space was too tight.
Nice find!
ReplyDeleteThis place is about 200 yards from the Holiday Inn on I-95 in Fayetteville. I walked here from my hotel room.
ReplyDeleteI love these shots Mike. That was a nice find.
