The Buffalo Water Works just keeps on giving. I am really looking forward to shooting at this location again. It was quite a remarkable place and today I present another image from my series. This one I like because it looks so industrial. The giant valve and gear driven wheel at the top and add the rust and it just works. The separation from the background works because of this beautiful gentle light that was coming from the skylights.
At Luminous-Landscape we just announce a new workshop to explore the Kimberley region of Australia on the Tue North, a magnificent yacht with a a helicopter. We also just release a VIDEO of this amazing location and previous trip. Check out the links. And, please consider joining us for a great adventure.
While shooting at Silo City in Buffalo Michael and I were standing on top of one of the silos and I saw this shot. The silos were a major distribution point for grain to be transported by rail to the east coast. This is a shot of the rail yard all grown over.
This is another shot from the Buffalo Water Works. This amazing place has really drawn my creative side to the surface. I have worked these images to give a certain look. Harsh, contrasty, gritty with a heavy feeling. Everything in this building was meant to last 1000 years. You can feel the weight in this shot.
This is an image made inside the Water Works building in Buffalo, NY. It was part of the weekend we were in Buffalo shooting abandoned grain silos. I used a slight HDR enhancement to give it the gritty machine look.
During our filming for a new Landscape Tutorial in Yosemite NP I took a chance and did a pano of a waterfall we were using as part of the video. This is a 8 image stitch. worked pretty damn good.
Here’s a shot I made of Chris Sanderson videoing William Neill Photographyas part of a NEW tutorial we are working on for Luminous Landscape. This will be a major NEW tutorial on Landscape Photography. Stay tuned.
Wow, what a week. Just finished shooting a new video for Luminous Landscape with William Neill Photography and Chris Sanderson. This is a shot from Fern Spring in Yosemite. Long exposure made with the Nikon d800e.
I just spent a week in Yosemite National PArk working on new Landscape Photography Tutorial for Luminous-Landscape. It was a tough week to shoot there because we had perfect seater fro tourists and not so for photographers. Sunny, bright and hardly any clouds. Never the less with William Neill’s help we made some good images. Here is one. I converted it to Black and white because it looked best. Shot with a 14mm lens to include foreground.
So, today I have been editing images from the last few days. I keep coming back to the Buffalo water works images and how it was so Steam Punked. when shooting I did 5 exposure with 1 stop differences. Today I did some real HDR images of these images and they are just so cool. Here is one I just finished.
