I'm still in awe of that first image...simple and powerful.  I'll also take 10 and 20.

Chris, Wonderful work!!  Looks like it's been a good year.

Great image, if you cropped it top and bottom it would make 2 great images.
Where is it?

Ashley,

Nice images, but tell the truth.

You really didn't have Sunshine in Ireland in February did you?

You shot these on a set in Miami . . . right?

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. It's an incinerator near Newark new jersey just off the Turnpike. I wish some of these sites were more easily accessible - I almost got arrested the last time I was there !

This version is a low end scan from an old epson - and fine for 8x8 and the web. Eiger Studios is drum scanning my negatives and printing them for an upcoming show - their scans are some of the best in the business and i'm anxiously awaiting to see how the 40" prints will turn out.

Thanks Ed - I went back there 5 times before getting it right ! There's just something magical about film ...

.........But if it's raining, which it did for the most part here, then we just go shoot in other areas where I can control the light more...

Hey Ashely,

Don't you know that "real" professionals don't carry lights, or use lighting?

At least that's what some of the big time A list pros say on this forum.

Also they use real small cameras so they can sneak around a location and nobody knows they are there.

I would think that sneaking around would get you in trouble, especially shooting real people for commerce, but that's what they're saying here.

I mean your photos are beautiful but isn't that cheating if you actually light a scene and make daylight on a cloudy day?

Don't you have to carry heavy equipment?  I bet carrying heavy stuff is hard and you have to go to school or read something to use lights . . . right?

Wouldn't it be better to just sit in the bar for a few weeks waiting for sun?

Thanks

Nice composition.
I like compositions that don't go by the cookie cutter rule of thirds.
The image has an eerie depth to it and I like the way the motion blur of the clouds sort of "beats up nature" in the way incinerators do.
Image is "pretty" but still has an environmental dark side to it

While shooting yet another boring American architectural interiors project, I saw that there was some really nice sunlight outside.  Grabbed my 5d2 / Leica-R 80mm and snagged this frame.  Please forgive any inherent remnants of the undying pursuit of perfection...

Is there another Chris Barrett out their that is a photographer, or did you forget your password and need to create a new account?

I was actually so disgusted with recent threads that I deleted my account.  But then I found that I couldn't go more than a couple days without Cooter's sardonic wit.

Close to my experience a few weeks ago; I thought I'd cancelled but it turned out I'd logged out instead, whatever that actually means. Anyway, I managed to get back into posting mode, but I now have to login for every thumbnail image I want to see, other than my own, which isn't a lot of help!

But, things have become far more civilized in most threads, so all is well. I can live with that.

Hi Rob, and all....

I think for me the truly annoying thing recently has been this bashing of MFD ...

From most probably ' never owners' who continually 'ask/demand conformation' that MFD is over.... Seemingly to justify to themselves that staying with DSLR's was the 'right' choice.

Ok... So what... Who cares....?

Those of us with MFDB's just keep on doing our jobs with the tools we have, at least on here I get stimulated when I see great work, so so work and Rob's fab archive from the '70's 80's and 90's.

Keep it up guys, as WE know, a camera is a means to an end and enables us to do our jobs...
