    The Old Barn

    One of the Old Mormon Barns
    The T. A. Moulton Barn

    This is an image of the T.A. Moulton Barn just outside of Grand Teton National Park. The T.A. Moulton Barn is all that remains of the homestead built by Thomas Alma Moulton and his sons between about 1912 and 1945. It sits west of the road known as Mormon Row, in an area called Antelope Flats, between the towns of Kelly and Moose.

    I took a workshop back in the fall of 2003. One project we did was with light painting. We setup our tripods and cameras for some long exposures. When we would press our shutters on instructor would run in front of the barn with two lights and paint away. Needless to say he was pretty winded by the time we had taken a dozen or so images.

    Barn in Tetons
    Barn in Tetons

    Back in 2003 I took a DLSW workshop with photographers Moose Peterson and Vincent Versace and Dave Black. This workshop was taken in Jackson, Wyoming  and our shooting was done in the nearby Teton Mountains. One evening we were given an opportunity to experience light painting, something new to me at the time.  They took us out to this barn located on Antelope Road just outside of Jackson. I would venture to say most photographers will have a photo of this barn somewhere in their portfolio. Anyway, the image was made after sunset with our cameras mounted on a tripod and an exposure from 20-30 seconds. We all would press our shutters on the count of three then Moose would run around in front of us shinning these lights on the barn creating our exposures. If you are interested in some very good images using this technique please visit Dave Blacks site.
