Underground Collecting.

"Re Post" Bad Upload. Highlight Blooms Blew out.

I've shot this place behind the food lion in town before but used a 35mm and wasnt totally thrilled with the results and wanted to go back to use a 50. Its about the size of an old Kmart and just full of stuff of all kinds. It used to be a textile mill, Upholstery shop and other things. Now its for collecting .

I was out with a photographer friend yesterday and mentioned it since we were heading towards town and she said yeah lets check it out.

I got out and set up the tripod, release, CPL and focus and I hear someone coming out of the back. He looks at me says, " There must be better things to shoot than the junk in there". I disagreed and said the beauty of decay is underrated sir. He then laughed and agreed and told me about his father who was a photographer way back when he was a kid. So he told me a bout how good his father was and wished he pursued it more.

Turns out his son owns the building and just sold it , its scheduled for demolition soon he told me so I asked him if he would mind posing downstairs since he was part of its history, he agreed.

This is Tim down below ,shot through a broken out window on the right side. What you see hanging is the roof falling in , hence the light from above and the hot spots everywhere. The CPL was about no match for those but they work with it I think.. Thank you to Tim and Joyce!

Nikon Nikkor 50mm 1.2 AIS @f11 shutter release and Nikon CPL. No PS foolery.

Thanks to all of you for checking out my work, appreciate all of you!
