Now that I’ve resolved to take my camera with me more often, I’m likely to shoot more city scapes…like this one. This is just a small part of the enormous Shell refinery on the eastern part of the island Montreal. It was a quick shot since the light was fading fast. It was shot at ISO 1000 at 1/80 at F.2.8.
Shots like these tend to bother me somewhat. There is a sense of industry here. Things are happening. Machines are working. Machines are polluting.
……and yet the colours and the contrast seem intriguing. What do you think?
I think that presenting a crooked, overcompressed image on a photo blog is not a good idea.
I like these kind of shots. You’re right, something dangerous & polluting is going on. It’s all so mysterious & looks like it could blow up any second, adds to the drama & tension.
Out standing. The orange and blue colors make a powerfull visual statement
Hi br0_cam, thanks for the comment!
This shot was on automatic white balance. I did adjust the levels slightly in post processing but that’s it.
Nice shot! With the winter leaves very little time to take pics (at least for me). I do not get off work until 5pm lol. I do like th epic – was curious if you had this on a preset WB setting such as the ‘cloudy’ setting… (curious)
