Running out of subjects...
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!
