Another fabulous one. I prefer the colours in the first pic but that stream of light really makes an impression.
Posted by Aaron Schmidt at October 10, 2005 01:05 AMI always thought they made bricks in molds out in the sun but i guess they had big furnaces like that to speed up the drying process.
It reminds me of steel smelters. Nice beam of light cutting through.
Posted by Coasta Rica Spanish Immersion at October 10, 2005 01:10 AMWere you there this Saturday morning? I was walking my dog and I saw a bunch of people with cameras and tripods going around. Must have been a dozen or so of them. Just wondering! Cool photo though.
Posted by Slavko at October 10, 2005 01:16 AMUTSTANDING!
Is it possible to see the RAW file, just to see hwo you edit your pictures?
Posted by thukai at October 10, 2005 01:25 AMAnother awesome shot with the light streaming in hitting the dust, great work.
Posted by Ed { tfk } at October 10, 2005 01:28 AMlove the light on this series, very moody.
Posted by demetrice at October 10, 2005 01:46 AMBeautiful shot! I can now see why you use 6sec, mainly for the light effects.
However, something bothers me: the black pole in front of the scenery (about 1/3rd from the right). It somehow "interrupts" the picture.
Then again, its useful for contrasting, making you focus more on the details of the scenery.
Posted by GreenChicken at October 10, 2005 02:02 AMWow, another great shot of a place that I live minutes away from, but have never been to.
The Brickworks is on Bayview Avenue, just south of Pottery road. Here's a link to a satelite shot of the place (you can zoom out for reference):

This place is already an interesting subject, but the shafts of light make it so much more incredible! Super job capturing that special lighting. I hope there's more to this series.
Posted by Joann at October 10, 2005 04:49 AMkiller. if i ever will have a rock-band, i'll take this for my first cover!
Posted by martin at October 10, 2005 05:21 AMI would be curious to see the original.
Posted by Jesse at October 10, 2005 06:04 AMAwesome. These are great photos.
Posted by Kreg Steppe at October 10, 2005 08:57 AMIncredible light! I believe this serie will be one of the best from you!
Posted by nuno f at October 10, 2005 09:13 AMWow, I was just searching for a simple picture of toronto on google, and low and behold I found your art, incredible!, I JUST recently moved out of my parents house and down to the city from Barrie, Ontario (eww), and I am enjoying myself. This picture pretty much sums up everything thats going on in my life right now (if you work from right to left), the repitition is overwhelming but further down the row, it does seem to get brighter. You have an amazing eye for photo's. Im thinking about painting my new appartment, but i would like to get some sort of design, so if you happen to come across something abstract, grab a quick shot please :), I will defently be visiting this website more and telling alot of my friends who are into photography aswell about this site..
thank you for the visual entertainment,

Posted by m rsv at October 10, 2005 12:33 PMThis place looks like a great setting for a movie. The kind of movie I'd love to see.
Posted by Susie at October 10, 2005 12:47 PMGreat streak of light. Enjoying the series.
Posted by Obelix at October 10, 2005 01:43 PMcool. this one looks like a ufo is outside:)
Posted by mari at October 10, 2005 04:21 PMThat beam of light is intense!
Posted by Phil at October 10, 2005 06:19 PMcan you post a higher quality version of this picture as you did in the first shot of the series?
-thanks!
Posted by Terry at October 11, 2005 09:38 AMI this one just as much as the first one. I sooo wish I had an old building like that around here that I could get in to. Great job again Sam.
Posted by Nate at October 11, 2005 06:08 PMMy first thought is great lighting, and then I look at the composition (great use of thirds) and colors and the shot is even better.
Posted by Abe at October 12, 2005 10:34 PMWonderful! Just a fantastic Photo image
