I was hoping to catch some fall colors on a return trip to Parke County, Indiana last Saturday but the two days of rain prior to my trip took away most of the color. Although most of the fall leaves had dropped I still had a nice “blue sky” day. I was able to add nine covered bridges to my collection as well as a couple of nice barns and a mill.

I’ve wanted to go back to Parke County since my first trip a while back. It’s a full day (and more) travel and shooting, but worth it. If you’re into covered bridges at all Parke County is a “must see”.

Here’s the entire gallery. Enjoy!

One of the best purchases I’ve made for my photography is not a lense or body, it’s my GPS! I love to go out in the country and just “get lost” on the back roads looking for old barns and building to shoot. And with the GPS I just go for it not worrying about getting home.

These shots were taken on a family campout weekend at Clifty Falls State Park in Ripley County, Indiana. I took Saturday when the family was at the pool and hit the road. My main goal was Otter Creek Covered Bridge which I found and shot rather quickly, so I decided to continue on with “getting Lost”.

This is a gallery I put together when I first opened my Zenfolio account. This is a variety of barns, Mail Pouch Barns, old churches and more. These were taken at various times and locations. From around Campbell County, KY, parts of Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia. Since I shot most of these I’ve attempted to document my shots much better so I’m not even sure where some of the images are from. Big mistake! I’ve vowed to document better because people ask, and I suppose I should know.

As I said there are a ton of images here, some of what I think are my best stuff to date.

Here’s the entire gallery. Enjoy!

They claim to have 31 covered bridges in this eastern Indiana county. I was attempting shoot them all, but it’s going to take a second trip.

This was a special “capture as many bridges in a day” trip for my wife and I. It’s after a 3 and a half hour trip from our house I wanted to make sure I made it worth my while. It really turned out to be an awesome day of shooting. I also found some nice old churches and barns.

Take a look at this gallery and see if you agree. Enjoy!

Covered bridge, and a Mail Pouch barn in the same shot!

Whenever my son has a soccer game away from home I look into the local area on the net and see if I can turn it into a photo trip as well. When I did a Mail Pouch Barn in New Albany Indian search this is what I found. This doesn’t come around every day so I knew I had to shoot it.

I also found a couple of nice old churches and cemetaries to shoot.

I have been to this little town in Indiana a few times. The town is filled with tons of antique shops, art galleries, and all things “crafty”. I really enjoy Nashiville because I get into shooting the surrounding area and my wife enjoys the shops. You’re sure to find something of interest inthis little village on the edge of Brown County Sate Park. There’s camping at the state park, the city of Columbus, IN is right down the road. And for the Bluegrass fans in the crowd there’s always the Bean Blossom, the birthplace of Bill Monroe!

This gallery was shot on a trip Betsy and I took back in November 2008. Enjoy!

Got up early, wrote the family a note saying “Shooting photos, be back in a while”. Five hours later I made it home, got busy and haven’t edited these till now (3 months later).

This trip started out in Newport with an early morning skyline photo of Cincinnati. From there I traveled to Covington, across 275 and headed east on route 52 in Ohio. Ending up in Ripley, OH I crossed the Ohio River to Maysville and headed back to Fort Thomas via the AA Highway.
