Some industrial shots - part 2 (E-3) - the correct thread

Petrolium tanks at the harbour in Port Elizabeth



Lonely rush through the city:



Lonely roads:



Decommissioned tram station:



Stairs to nowhere:



Industrialization:



Back to the globe:



Decommissioned gas works



Working on 2010 Durban soccer stadium:



From below a cooling tower



Iron wheels of an old steam locomotive

Great, imaginative shots Fritz. Love the stairs one and the cooling tower.

You've got a really really good idea for spotting and capturing shapes, textures, contradictions, almost tormpe l'oeuil-like slices of industrial life and death.

The details on the oil tanks and the rushing train are really excellent.

So is the juxtaposition of the electric cables mast with the old industry behind it.

I've thoroughly enjoyed looking.

These are all spectacular, #3 & #5 being my favourites, but all of them are simply amazing. The composition and the processing techniques are very unique.

Very very good - I really like these.

Good to see something a bit more interesting than the 'I went out for a walk this morning and took some pictures of these trees and I am going to show them on a world-wide photography forum' type of images (you clearly did more than that Fritz!

I guess a number were taken with the 7-14 ZD. I have just bought this lens but am still waiting to use it in anger!

Excellent photos. The first one really stands out, the dark and the rich colors and clean look, but also the one with the blurred truck.

Thanks, Dave

No 7-14 in this bunch. Used the Zuiko 8mm fisheye for nos 3, 4, 7 and 10. All others except the last one were taken with the 50-200mm Zuiko
