A barn lays abandoned, slowly becoming consumed by the wilderness that surrounds it. Many small family run farms have been run into the ground by large corporate run farms, leaving barns like this one to rot in its place. According to The Washington Post, the number of American farms has dropped significantly, "from more than 6 million in 1935 to roughly 2 million in 2012".
My team and I photographed a secluded barn in Ashland, Mo. The difficulties we faced were mainly due to effectively using a black card to block the lens. When we placed the black card over the lens it bumped the zoom and in turn messed up the photo. We had success in lighting the barn, but the tree was more difficult for us. It was complicated to balance flashes that had different maximum powers. While testing all of the lights, it wasted a lot of battery, so having a lot of spares was very helpful.
