SKY
50° 27′ 47.070″ N, 113° 15′ 24.810″ W.
After 30 minutes of admiring the sky I drove by this ol’ barn, which is located on Hwy23 just north of Vulcan, AB. It was then I made a snap decision to pull off the highway and grab my gear. It had been a hot and humid day, with little wind, and the clouds were filled with potential. After taking a number of photographs I ran back to the car to get a flash. The addition of accent lighting to illuminate the front of the barn and bring out the rustic textures made the shot. I am glad I stopped and grateful I packed the flash.

This composition is dominated by the vanishing lines of the barn which was not intentional, they were underestimated. While correcting the distortion of the fisheye lens I was able to correct the perspective of the barn’s front. It was this straightening the face that provides the striking impact.
