Mormon Row 3 Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is another barn located at Mormon Row. It was part of a Mormon settlement circa 1910 and it is located about 7 miles north of Jackson, Wyoming. For this shot I used the 70-200 to compress the barn into the Grand Teton range in the BG. I also added some saturation to accentuate the morning sun on the barn. Incidentally early morning at sunrise is the best time to photograph these barns.

I like the burnt colors of the barn against the mountain background. A good choice for your POV and nice bright colors with the sunshine shining on the barn. Lovely shot. Take care, Migelo

Very nice angle and good use of the saturation. Although, there's some graininess in the picture, not sure if accentuated by the saturation, or if you had to use a higher ISO. The warm colors seem to also increase the age of the barn. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Phil
J'aime beaucoup l'ambiance qui se dégage de cette photo. Les couleurs sont chaudes et j'aime l'ancienneté de la maison, son côté "fatigué" face à la nature écrasante.

Hello Phil,
The light on the barn, its colours and textures are very beautiful. But I specially like the background which I find very impressive. A great location for this barn.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Phil

Wow this is magnificant! This is my favourite photo of yours. Plus I am still on my barn kick. Lucky you to be able to get away and find such amazing images.

I love the burnt orange colour of the barn. Good details shown both of the barn and the surrounding area. Very warm and rich looking. Beautiful scenary in the BG too. Well composed. This is going in my favourites!

Take care,
Tosca

PS I leave for Vegas today hope I can get some good shots there.

Hi Phil,
Nice - I vividly recall standing near where you took this shot with about 8 other photographers and awaited the morning light. A beautiful location especially with the Tetons as a backdrop. Nice light and the compressed perspective is very interesting. TFS. GErald

Hi Phil!
When I saw the title, I thought this was in the Utah! A very good shot of this old barn with the mountains in background. This golden light is really good here. A very good moment for sure!

Hi Phil,
Love how the table flat valley suddenly rises up this steep mountains.
Theearly day golden light brings splendid detals in this lovely old log barn.
The 1954 move "Shane" was shot nearby with Jack Palance getting the Emmy for best supporting actor.

Hi,what an artistic creation this image is.The use of the tele brings the mountains in the background to a threatning immediacy.The colors are dramatic.Detail is great.Best regards Wolf.
