Rick I'm getting the impression you like trains? (I may be wrong here. )

Another nice one from you!

Yea, I always have, just started going out to find them!. They also make a good subject anytime of the year. I tend to shoot in waves, I'll get on something, persue it to death and move on. In a few Months and it will be flowers.

Old Erie Canal Aqueduct, 3 shot HDR

Another from today, 3 shot HDR also

Good job Rick. I think I prefer the color one, not for the color, but for the composition. I find my eyes stay on it more...

 

[Eye-level]

What an amazing old structure...

Thanks Marcel, I liked this one the most out of the group also, I have a B&W version I'm going to put up for Critique saturday.

 

[Rick M]

What an amazing old structure...

It's amazing how well it has held up for so long and how often I see new concrete work being repaired every year or two. These people knew what they were doing and cared about thier work.

 

[bluenoser]

Still a very impressive looking structure Rick - despite it's advanced age (approx 150+ years??) or more likely because of it! lol. The Romans were truly ahead of their time with Aqueducts!

I'm in agreement with Marcel's comment about preferring the colour version mostly for it's compositional qualities. Nicely done sir.

 

[Rick M]

What the heck is it?

Came across this in my shooting travels today, was a good HDR canidate, not sure what it is!

 

[Sambr]

Wow - Nice find & work Rick

 

[Just-Clayton]

im guessing a concrete mix maker.

 

[Rick M]

im guessing a concrete mix maker.

I think so, was too far north to be Pete's Moonshine factory

 

[AxeMan - Rick S.]

Not going to get into a debate over this it looks like an old Asphalt factory. That horizontal drum makes me think that. Looks like there is a furnace attached to it. Why would you need that much heat to mix concrete?

Pete will be along soon enough, he will know.

It's rusty so it makes for a great HDR candidate. Nice find Rick.

im guessing a concrete mix maker.

And you would be what us folks down south call...

WRONG!

That is an asphalt factory. It seems to be situated next to railroad tracks. This particular design of factory is still in use in China.

 

[Just-Clayton]

Your right Pete! I stand corrected. First on my grammar and now on my guessing. I remember seeing something similar down the road and they make asphalt there. I got the mix part right! lol
