Posted by niloufaR at October 13, 2005 12:44 AMI like the limited range of colours - this feels like the place has been abandoned but all the lights seem to indicate otherwise.
Posted by Ed { tfk } at October 13, 2005 01:35 AMAwesome image! I'm also hyped about HL2:LC. HL2 was probably the best game I've ever played on PC.
Posted by Chris at October 13, 2005 01:51 AMYour photos is more like out of a scene of Half-Life 3! Valve should look at your photos for inspiration.
Btw, great photo. Did you use any filters for these locations?
Posted by GreenChicken at October 13, 2005 01:56 AMGreat work.. Compex, lightful, colourful. Jea.
Posted by Martin at October 13, 2005 02:34 AMGreat series of pics, not sure there are many places like this around me! Very interesting places to photograph, and well done!
Posted by Rob at October 13, 2005 05:26 AMGreat photo Sam.
This place is good for a movie set. I could use it sometime. Maybe in my next documentary. If I ever do, I'll make sure to give you credits.
Another great shot. I like this brickwork-series, the colors are awesome! This one reminds me of a bad Stephen King-movie I saw years ago. Not sure, but I think the Name was "The Mangler"(?).
Posted by patrick at October 13, 2005 09:19 AMwow!! i really like the machine series...
colors are unbelievable, we can almost touch the sunlights.
you are getting better and better..... if possible...
Thanks
I love the Brickworks. Heading back there this coming Saturday. :-)
Posted by Sean Galbraith at October 13, 2005 11:12 AMI just love this series. These are great! Keep'm coming.
Posted by Nate at October 13, 2005 12:06 PMYes, a fellow gamer and photographer! b(^_^)d
Posted by Desert Shadow at October 13, 2005 12:37 PMImagine how depressing it may have been to work in a place like this. Factories can be that way with nothing but the bare essentials ruling the design and content. Even full lighting would not make it cheerful. But when you're making a living you don't see a good deal - fortunately.
Dead factories are always interesting. The colors here add to the aged feeling and abandonment.
Good series Sam. I wonder if you were trespassing to do it? Injury liability comes into the picture with things like this.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at October 13, 2005 02:37 PMYour blog is my favorite. Best Regards.
Posted by Juan Miguel at October 13, 2005 06:44 PMI'm loving the series, and thanks for fixing the comment problem! =)
Posted by Raffi at October 13, 2005 08:39 PMlooks good. well i'm a staff member of a steam game fansite so you can be informed with all the news.
Posted by Ayan at October 13, 2005 10:14 PMThis image has qualities strikingly like "Fallen Art" - a CG short feature shown at SIGGRAPH this year.
One of the stills on the Fallen Art gallery shows a scene that could have been 'filmed' in the brickworks space (fifth image, second row):

Posted by 6oh at October 14, 2005 12:57 AMGreat pic
Posted by Funny Videos at October 14, 2005 01:16 AMI like the colors and the imposing feel of this foto. Great industrial shot.
Posted by Abe at October 14, 2005 02:09 PMfinally got the comments fixed eh?
Posted by kevin at October 14, 2005 04:27 PMFantastic location. Did you have any trouble getting in there to take photos?
Posted by Daaave at October 19, 2005 12:50 PMI'd turn mad there, there are so many wonderful details to photograph!
