Love to know your technique. Is this HDR with some muting? Love it . Love to see a print of this. Tone throughout the sky is brilliant.
Posted by Virginia photographer - Mark Finkenstaedt at March 2, 2009 02:04 AMGreat shot! I love the colors.. I wonder what it would have looked like if shot in horizontal..
Posted by paolo at March 2, 2009 04:50 AMI've been wondering why your portrait/vertical-oriented posts always end up super large compared to horizontal/landscape ones? They're great but to be forced to scroll up and down kinda bother me a bit.
Posted by TK at March 2, 2009 06:38 AMamazing nostalgia, and cool marble looking lake, and I like the tone here. Not quite black and white, but almost. Have you ever been inside Canada Malting Co.? I'd bet there are tons of cool photos you could take in there.
Posted by JasOn at March 2, 2009 08:00 AMI just looked it up, and it has some notes about this on wikipedia.
Posted by JasOn at March 2, 2009 08:02 AMVery cool - great shot. Almost a Cohen brothers feel to this shot.
Posted by Ed at March 2, 2009 09:09 AMOh god, it's fantastic. Looks like It's the 2nd Alcatraz, and the ice is the only way to get out of there. Amazing.
Posted by kraire at March 2, 2009 10:36 AMReally like the tones here. I've tried to shoot there a bunch of times and never come up with anything I like. This one is spot on.
Posted by Jason at March 2, 2009 12:08 PMI so much love those very wide angle shots! Processing is perfect, as usual...
Posted by Averi at March 2, 2009 02:28 PMWhat a cracking shot!
Posted by Jim at March 2, 2009 04:38 PMWow! Amazing texture and contrast. Great eye!
Posted by Benjamin at March 2, 2009 05:27 PMBeautiful! Reminds me of Vancouver near the second narrows bridge....only I don't thik it ever freezes like so!!!!
Posted by patrick murtaugh at March 2, 2009 07:21 PMThis is really fantastic. The cracked ice...the cold industrial landscape....wonderful!
Posted by Laurie at March 2, 2009 10:55 PMi absolutely looove seemingly old factories. and this is no exception! gorgeous!!
Posted by sofia at March 3, 2009 12:32 AMFantastic photo. Very nice tone.
I always admire your post processing especially the perspective corrections, they really work with many images. This is an example though where perfectly vertical lines make the building seem to bulge at the top. I personally would have scaled back a tad on the perspective correction to make the building look a little more normal. Great photo though, I love your work.
Posted by Carlo at March 6, 2009 02:15 AMHi Sam,
Enjoy your photos very much. On your black and white photos, do you essentially take the photos in black and white or do you desaturate the color images?
Thanks. Lorrin
