4x5 frame
Eye level
Love of geometry, angles, abstract blocks
Perfect control of tone: high, medium, and low frequency
Not afraid of moody skies
Not afraid to blow out highlights if the shot calls for it
Thin white border
I've been on an infrared kick all week. Forcing myself to use my converted D80 until I'm more comfortable with it. One of the things I love about it is how much shooting infrared brings drama out a sky.

the sky has so much potential with the clouds but it is so blown out in places it looks unfinished. if there is a landscape that is crying out for HDR and blending of multiple exposures, this is it
My read on Weston's building shots, particularly barns, is that he treats them like American Gothic. Matter of fact, not flattering, dead center, no drama. This is a beautiful shot of a barn, I like it a lot. I don't think it reflects Weston's style though.
The framing seems very cramped to me with the barn and the field shoved down and pressurized. A bit more room for the eye to roam would have given the frame a bit more quiet.
