Alrighty, well what can I say except howdy, and sorry for the delay in posting on the regular blog. Been busy getting ready to give a talk to some 8th Graders about photography. But luckily my good friend Kevin gave me a call on Saturday and asked if I wanted to go shooting out and about. Me not being one to refuse an offer like that grabbed the gear, and headed out the door. We stopped in a little town about 30 minutes North of my hometown at first which ended up being a great place for last week’s Life @ 50 project. After that, we headed a bit South and stopped in at another town that had some nice abandoned industrial areas that had some fun shooting possibilities. Here is a bit of what we captured:
Old double layered brick wall near the main plaza.
Main flywheel on an old conveyor system that is out and rusting nicely in the elements
On/Off switch for the same conveyor
Hydraulic controls for an old overhead gantry system at an abandoned railroad dock
Busted light at the loading dock.
All in all we only shot in the area for about 30 minutes but it was a great time and a definite GOYA exercise
Captured with 1D Mark IIN 16-35f2.8 II on Lexar digital film
Finished in Silver Efex Pro

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
My favorite has to be the first image of the brick wall. I think its the texture that really draws me in.
I like them all because of the texture in them. Was it the Silver Efex Pro that did it???
Very cool, very cool! Wonderful textures and tones buddy! T-4 weeks and counting…
Thanks Jeff! You know I am counting down the days.
Hey Al, for the bricks there was also a quick touch of Tonal contrast. The others were light touches with the control points using the Structure slider in Silver Efex.
