Day Tripping; Part III Of III

Fujifilm X-T1, 18-55mm f/2.8-4 lens @31.5mm; 1/300th sec. @ f/8; ISO 200

Here is the last batch of the images I made during my short time wandering around the lovely and quaint little town of Edenton, North Carolina.  Our time there was only for about two hours.

I wrote about the reasons for this particular day trip.  You can read about them here and here.. 

All of these images were made with a Fujifilm X-T1 and the 18-55mm f/2.8-4 lens, a terrific street combination.

Also, if you have the opportunity to look at these images, or any digital images, on something as high resolution as an Apple Retina screen, please do so.  I continue to be blown away by the quality of the images this camera/sensor/lens combination makes. They have an indescribable quality about them that is very pleasing to my eye.

The only image in this series that was not made in Edenton, North Carolina is the last, the old, weathered, red barn.  As we left the town and drove north on NC 32, I spotted this barn as I drove by.  I drove about a mile or so, thinking about it.  Can't do it! I just had to turn around and come back to photograph it.  Too much character to let it go by without making several images of it.  I'm glad I did.  Over the years, I have found that if I see something that strikes my eye, I always turn around and go back to photograph it.  If I think that I can photograph it on the return trip, it never works out that it is the same.

Thanks for looking. Enjoy!
