Ferarri with a View: Barn #4 [Contest Finalists July 2010]
Uploaded: July 30, 2010 01:34:28
----
Centre Hill Farm, in New Hope, Pennsylvania, was #4 on the Audubon Bucks County Barns of Distinction Tour this summer.
-------
This barn featured a shining surprise...so shining that I could not photograph it properly with the light streaming in from the top of the door. But I felt obliged to show it to you.
-----
The 1955 Ferarri is one of a collection of the Farm's owner. The docent at this barn explained that this retired race car is valued higher than the entire estate!
-----
On the outside of the barn, and scratched in several places inside, is the date 1785, and the original owner's initials, MP, for Moses Paxson. This is the oldest known date stone on any barn in Bucks County.
--------
Exif: F Number: 5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: fired, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 1000, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 25.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D

A barn full of wild horses :0) Great series of photos and info!! #8796892Rona L. Schwarz July 31, 2010
As soon as I saw the gleaming red car...I knew this must be another barn image, Michelle! What a perfect place to keep a retired race car :) Great treatment here, terrific details and lighting inside and outside, yet smooth like velvet! Just wonderful! #8798153Robert K. Bemus August 01, 2010
I don't suppose they'd rent that car?? Awesome find, capture and effects, Michelle!!! #8798244Laura E. Swan August 01, 2010
Boy...this proves a person just never knows what treasures lay in old barns!Wonderful reporting as always, Michelle. I'd have loved to have heard that motor starting up! WOW!

Very cool shot, nice HDR work. Reminds of the film "Cars", although this one obviously valued quite a bit higher. #8802168David Van Camp August 02, 2010
Definetely an awesome car and the treatment really works nicely on this, Michelle! #8802213Jim Baines August 03, 2010
What a pleasant surprise to find in a barn! Hmmmm .. I wonder if Grandma was hiding one ... Remind me to show you the new Ferrari and what it does!! I love this barn series!! #8803184Daniella Puente August 09, 2010
Fabulous surprise and capture Michelle :) #8815977Carolyn J. Connolly August 11, 2010
Wow, Michelle - what a gorgeous classic car...and it's hidden away in just a fabulous old barn, too!! I agree with Kate J, "if I was that Ferrari I would back in so I could look at the wonderful view"!! :o)They REALLY built barns (well, this one at least!) to last in the 1700's, didn't they?!! I LOVE the stonework here...and the light, textures, details, tones and composition all are exceptional, too!! :o) #8819590

I saw this on page#4 of the Finalists page then I saw your other finalist images and they are all deserving worthy to move into the next round and hopefully you get one of the golds, Michelle,IMHO, what made this photo was your ability to bring out correct illumination of the barn interior and at the same time show details in the fields on top of your creativity of illustrating a vintage car in an unusual environment. Such great image!
Congratulations, Michelle! #8827962
