what can i say, i've had my eye out for a spot like this for ages... parking garages are just too well lit these days to look right... this is under a skating arena where one of my boys goes for hockey skills classes... the area is surrounded by a chain link fence, but somebody kindly ripped a hole in it and i was able to get in ;p hoping to be able to go back there next weekend, so any suggestions for a re-take on this will be most gratefully received :)
tx for the nice comments and favs on yesterday's chess shot...
ps - i think this looks better large, on black, with the lights off... but mebbe that's just me
@riverlandphotos I agree with Mac. I'd be too scared to go into something that desolate around her. I can all too easily imagine the headlines the next day (or at least a page 2 on the gruesome murder of a photographer who wandered into a garage and...). So take care!! But the shot is fantastic! My only suggestion is that the darker spot on the left maybe should be bigger to make for a dark photo, or smaller so it isn't so distracting from the great grittiness in the rest of the area. Although it does convey just how dark is in down there.
@riverlandphotos@lynnb@taffy ok guys... honestly - not in in the least bit risky (other than probably mold as noted by @summerfield ) the underneath is exposed to the outside world... it was mid day (oops... camera time is wrong)... i've definitely done stupider things in search of a photo-op!
This is an awesome space. I don't know if I can think of a photo suggestion off hand but I know a theatre piece that would work well there. Great shot!
Oof! Proper creepy it looks, in large on black. I didn't dare turn the lights out! Okay, that's partly because I'm looking at in natural light, and you know, if I turned the sun off people would complain.
Wow, this is fantastic! Love it - instant fav! I'm really looking forward to your next shots of this place. What about using that chair you bought specifically for another shot? (I find it rather disturbing that I think something so creepy is great! Is that just me?)
Yeah, this looks like nowhere I would previously contemplate of going... in my pre-camera days but you do now don't you. Otherwise there are no ops for stunningly detailed and contrasted photos like this!
Suggestions? Hmmm.... a smoke machine... a model dressed in something macabre... a child perhaps(might freak some out... but then that's not such a bad thing, is it! LOL)... um... yeah - look forward to seeing what you do come up with.
ace shot, loving your black and white stuff, always very sinister looking situations, but shot in a way that makes them seem less sinister and more geometric and architectural. Like the artistic face of alleys, garages and nocturnal streets. hows it going? whats life like on 365 nowadays. I need a 2014 challenge.
