This spring a storm took out much of the roof of the old barn. I suspect the barn will soon be torn down as it is no longer safe.

Here are the stats:
Camera: Canon 6D
Lens: Tamron 28-75 @ 50mm
Tripod: Manfrotto
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 3200
Exposure: 15 sec. X (I can't remember how many I used.)

Very nicely done Rob; hopefully the barn stays put for a while yet. Makes for an excellent foreground subject

All the best,
