Night industrial

[Ricco]

I figure I'd show you at least one piece of work of what I like to do.

Still trying to get the hang of some of my work, it was only after I shot did I realize my ISO was waaay too high, but I still like the shot.



Soon as I find my way back there, I'm going to try a slightly different angle to get rid of that pole!

Looks promising, but you might try doing it as an HDR.

[Todd Lambert]

I like it except for the pole. Street lights and power poles are the bane of existence! Hate hate hate them!

[David Alaniz]

Thanks for sharing and keep posting.

[Ricco]

Well, I drove by, and it turns out the pole is right on the property leading to that building, so there is no way to get around it. :(

Now to take a peek at some of the shots I took in Seabrook and Kemah tonight.

Milby St Shops. Some neat stuff in there on occasion, if you're into trains.

[Ricco]

Actually, that was one of the reasons I stopped. I have a dear friend that is into trains and, aside from being a really cool shot, I figure he would appreciate the shot more.


Now, if there was only a way to get onto the englewood yards and into the tower for some time lapse. <sigh>

If you're brave, you can set up on either the Lockwood or Wayside overpasses.

After years of avoiding the wires and the poles, I say, "Leave the wires. Get the poles. They are a part of the landscape. Make them work for you."

It's certainly a lot easier - that's for sure!

[venchka]

Easier? Maybe not. You have to make them work.

[Todd Lambert]

True, good point. But, I never get them to work, so they have to be out of the picture. It's like street lights. I can't stand them. Many of my desired targets have been ruined by them - I either resort to taking the light out or forgoing the shot. There is no in-between for me, at least most of the time.

The Clone tool and Content Aware in Photoshop were made for poles, cables, and wires.

[Ricco]

I'd have to agree with Venchka, most of the time I try to work with what's around me. Most of the stuff I do is for my personal pleasure and maybe for the sake of history. If I had a client, then I might do things differently.
I retook the pic with HDR.

I think it looks a BIT better.

But I also took a few others tonight.
