There was some pretty cool stuff to shoot in this old place. I loved the hard core industrial look of this shot. All the pipes and steel beams.

Hey thats my old welding screen !! Plenty of dynamic range in this one.,Nice shot.
Nice, I like the details and textures, and how the shape of the metal frame echoes the shape of the pipes above.
Yeah it’s just pipes and stuff. ( yawn ) 🙂
You should have put some feet behind the screen and made it a mystery shot.
or a shadow or something!
I went here on a school trip when I was a kid – my mate’s dad ran the place back then and he organised it. It was full on – hot, dirty, noisy, smelly and awesome. They used to forge a lot of their own gear back then and I have a vivid memory of hot metal coming out of a furnace and being poured into moulds to make wheels, there was fire and sparks and stuff flying around everywhere. This shot is such a contrast to my memory that it highlights the “death” of the place as I knew it, which was far from cold, stark, silent and still – for that this shot works perfectly.
This is my backyard!
