This week\u2019s random picture is of a chain and padlock I found on a drive way gate blocking the way to a beautiful but decaying two story barn. <\/p>\n

About the Image<\/h3>\n

Early this week my new 30mm prime lens<\/a> came in from Amazon and I was testing some of the different types of shot to see what this lens can and can\u2019t do before I take my road trip next week. For my tests I decided to take HWY-380 from Farmersville, Texas to Greenville, Texas. <\/p>\n

During that trip, I came across an abandoned barn that had several entrances that were opened or the gates were half rotten except for one gate that was still on lock down. O how I love locks and chains! I couldn\u2019t resist. <\/p>\n

Although I never left the side of the road I did shoot some landscape and macro shots of the area.  <\/p>\n

This image was taken just past noon on a sunny afternoon with my Sony Nex-3N<\/a> with a Sigma 30mm f2.8 DN E Mount Lens<\/a>, then I processed it with Adobe Lightroom<\/a> to crop, straightened, and remove dust spots from the image. Then I post processed the image with Topaz Labs Clarity<\/a> to add more texture, remove shadows, boost brightness, contrast, then desaturation the image. <\/p>\n
