Suggestions welcome.

Try getting up close and wide. There looks to be some interesting patterns in the steel supports and the roundness of the bins. Try it in gritty B&W. A deep sky behind would make it other-worldly and being up close and wide will make the bins less of a subject and more of a study in light, contrast, shape, texture, etc.

Thanks, Terry! These are close for me -- I wanted to leave some context around them. I'll watch for some deep skies.

I'd shoot them at night and light paint them.

Or one could wait for a rainy day and shoot the water dropping from the silos at a really slow shutter speed. It would give it an intriguing and dreamy look.

Chris, Les -- these are things I hadn't thought of. Thanks!
