The old Barn
The old Barn

This picture was taken during a hike around Frosterley in County Durham during our recent holiday. It shows an old barn we walked past which I took with a Tamron 10-24mm super wide angle lens fitted to my Pentax K5. I find this lens to be superb for taking landscape photos - it has great colour rendition and being so wide a very high depth of field. This lens is rapidly becoming my favourite lens.

I did some post-processing in Lightroom 5 to slightly correct the exposure in the sky and then pulled the luminance of the sky down a bit to make it a deeper blue. I also increased the clarity a bit and applied a touch of sharpening.
