I love the light rays, perfect!
Posted by Ed { tfk } at October 28, 2005 01:45 AMI really love the light from the holes in the roof. The green at the far end of the room with windows being tinted gives it a nice flow from Reds to Blues to Greens.
Posted by Greg at October 28, 2005 02:00 AMThe shafts of light look almost like probing lasers here. It's the light and detail that i like this for. Nice work as usual! - [Chuks]
ps: just a thought, but would this be any good as a contrasty B&W?
Totally looks like a level from Half Life 2,
Awesome.
You rule by the way.
Posted by Corey at October 28, 2005 02:12 AMamazing lights...
Posted by ps at October 28, 2005 02:16 AMSimply stunning.
Posted by Alastair at October 28, 2005 03:33 AMAmazing, fine photo
Posted by deadenemy at October 28, 2005 03:41 AMHi sam,
such a great shot, I would like to have taken myself. ;)
You could post images from this place until the end of the year and I wouldn't get bored, Sam! Great work!
Posted by davenewt at October 28, 2005 03:57 AMI love this photo. The light looks like solid material. But...what is this brick table in the middle of the picture? Did someone build a kind of altar where the sunbeam marks some kind of special time of day. LOL thinking about Indiana Jones.
Posted by Lummerland at October 28, 2005 03:58 AMPerfect. Great shot.
Posted by Mêter at October 28, 2005 04:13 AMFantastic! The light entering the building is so nice, it looks like theres an ovni searching for humans!!!!!!
Posted by Seat83 at October 28, 2005 05:18 AMfantastic photo! i really like it.
Good job! :)
wow, looks like god's comin' down there...
great picture.
Freaking cool light-rays. Maybe 10 seconds was too long causing the interior to be a little too bright - but then would those spectacular rays be as good?
Posted by seriocomic at October 28, 2005 06:58 AMAfter seeing your photographs, I seriously want to go into photography too O_O I don't have a digital camera yet though. Just a question I hope you don't mind, would low end digital cameras be able to get fantastic pictures such as yours? I know it won't be as detailed but I'm jst wondering if it's possible to get the colors as vibrant as yours :D Thanks!
Posted by Hadibi at October 28, 2005 07:05 AMHi there, I've never posted before, and because I'm from Australia whenever I go online there are no coments yet and tonight is the night that I will be the first comment, heh heh :) Anyways, I LOVE this site, no matter how bad my day has been I always look forward to checking out these photos and they always make me think and smile, so thank you! :)
Posted by Carolyn at October 28, 2005 08:06 AMAnother fabulous photo from that old factory. The long exposure really gave the light an extra power. Fantastica as always. :-)
Posted by nuno f at October 28, 2005 08:22 AMI love this photo..especially the beams of light.
Posted by Geremy F at October 28, 2005 08:46 AMI love this series!
Posted by linz at October 28, 2005 09:27 AMnice series of this abandoned factory. the first photo you posted looks the best to me. i think the opening on the roof is too much exposed though.
Posted by Sanjin at October 28, 2005 09:31 AMYou know Sam, just because I'm stalking you, doesn't mean you have to keep breaking into my house. I'm sorry I'm poor, we can't all be rich and famous photographers, some of us are forced to live on no name beans. Thats right, I can't even afford name brand beans!!!! and cheese in a can. So please. I know it's hard, but try to think of us that are less fortunate than you.
Coop.
And P.s. Stop kicking holes in my f'ing roof just so you can have some "dramatic" lighting!!!
Posted by keith at October 28, 2005 09:37 AMIncredible! Can we get a wallpaper please?!
Posted by rz at October 28, 2005 10:16 AMfantastic shot!
perhaps good enough to post a link to a wallpaper size...?
Your pictures are amazing and quite frankly have inspired me (numerous times) to grab my camera and go out for hours shooting whatever I see. Thank you! I am trying to figure out why the light beams are at different angles. Is that sunlight?
Posted by Thorin at October 28, 2005 12:17 PMVery nice shot.
reminds me of one of Superman comics, in which an evil alien civilisation was attacking earth using special bullets that penetrated through everything.
however, you don't expect to see such bright rays of light in such a bright room (unless they are alien bullets of course) :)
Posted by Ali at October 28, 2005 12:21 PMSeeing pictures of this factory (or should I say “the Keiths’ residence”) takes me back to the good old days of Whitby's Abandoned Psychiatric Hospital series. It’s good to see you have found yourself another abandoned building to photograph the hell out of. Anyway so far I’ve really enjoyed all of your factory pictures :-) More please.
Posted by shirin at October 28, 2005 12:50 PMbeautiful capture of the light coming in. All these photos you have from this warehouse or whatever are really amazing.
Posted by lisa at October 28, 2005 01:40 PMit's so perfect! i'd like a desktop version of this. :)
Posted by Krista at October 28, 2005 02:05 PM1600x1200 walpaper please....
Posted by Flash Gordon at October 28, 2005 02:21 PMThis is such a top location I just can't believe it. I didn't realise it was such a long exposure until someone else mentioned it. I swear if I ever, ever went anywhere near Toronto then I'm going here.
Can anyone just walk around inside?
Posted by Daaave at October 28, 2005 03:14 PMTruly inspiring! I love all the rays of light, and theres a good few of them. Spectaluar!!
Posted by Phil at October 28, 2005 04:16 PMLooks like some laser beams burning holes through the ceiling.
Posted by anna at October 28, 2005 04:19 PMall of your photos taken of this factory building are perfect
Posted by kikko77 at October 28, 2005 06:31 PMDaaave, I think that the remaining brickworks buildings are officially off-limits, but that doesn't stop most people. If you search around the net, you will find that this location is very popular with Toronto photographers.
Posted by Rob at October 28, 2005 06:56 PMGreat photo. Light in the midst of darkness and brokeness. Very interesting.
Beautifully done. Did you have to do any post-processing on this?
Posted by JorjDotOrg at October 28, 2005 10:24 PMExcellent shot with the light rays. Is this location open to shooting? Or do you have to "wander" in? I'm very interested in shooting in this type of location.
Posted by Mike H at October 29, 2005 12:23 AMAbsolutely wonderful. Great Job!
Posted by Kayleigh at October 29, 2005 09:27 AMWow - great! The light coming through the roof really lifts the picture.
Posted by Peter at November 1, 2005 04:20 AMlove the light piercing the room.
Posted by andy at November 1, 2005 12:29 PMgreat work!

This photo is amazing. Would you be able to provide a 1024x768 version of this photo? How about revealing some of your secrets on how you captured the light so beautifully :D
Thanks in advance!
Travis
Very nice shot. The lights looks absolutely amazing. Is that light filtering through the roof or is it artificial light
