The Old Red Barn

Today I started work on my projects for Maple Ridge Country Fest. They’ve got a great art, photography and scrapbooking component to their show- and lucky for me, I still qualify.

Searching through my photograph files on my computer, I came across this one, shot in Maple Ridge just off 256th, north of Dewdney Trunk Rd.

It’s not the most fabulous of  photos, but  since I absolutely love old barns, I wanted to take this  plain jane  photo and turn it into something special.   The first and most obvious problem is the boring backdrop behind this barn, which I decided to replace with the trees in this photo taken  in Allco Park.

So after adding the new backdrop in Photoshop, combined with many adjustment layers, filters, as well as some added vignetting, here is the final result entitled the Old Red Barn.
