Many, many years ago, I did a photo using a rich, brown barn siding as a background. The material was wonderful. Great color and an unbelievable texture. For years since, I’ve been looking for this barn siding whenever I was on vacation in upstate New York or in Vermont but, to no avail. I decided to search the Internet to see if someone sells barn siding and to my surprise there were many. This material was not cheap. I got a few prices (and a few rejections of my tiny order for 16 square feet) and finally settled on a vendor. I described what I wanted and they sent me a photo of some of the stock. I thought that it looked right. I was told that the rich brown color I requested was the backside of a worn red barn.
When the material arrived the next day (UPS is amazing!) I was so disappointed in what came. The texture was right on the side that was painted red and the color was right on the back. I found the material not very useful. So, I painted a few pieces white and did a test shot of the background…I think it gives a nice country look…what do you think?
