Abandoned Farm Place

I found this abandoned farm place not far from town and had to try out my new camera.  This first picture was taken from the road about an hour before sunset.



I decided since the place was abandoned I would walk up the driveway to where it curves so I could see the barn.








There was this old farm house and another shed on the site.  These last 3 shots were taken from the road.







I know you are all wondering what kind of camera I bought.  It is not a SLR.  It is another point and shoot.  I cannot afford a SLR and besides I have a lot of arthritis in my wrists and it is hard to hang onto anything big or heavy.  So I did a lot of research on what the best point and shoot might be.  I decided on a Canon Power Shot SX260HS with 20X optical zoom.  These are all SOC except for resizing and were shot with the Apeture setting.  I have been trying to shoot using that setting instead of on auto.  So far I am loving the camera and the 20X zoom. If anyone has any suggestions for taking better pictures, let me know.

Abandoned Barn

On one of my road trips I found this abandoned red and aqua barn.  Have you ever seen one this color?  I hadn't.  I drove in the driveway but didn't know if I should be there so only snapped a couple of photos and left.

Have a great week and I'll see you next time
