This was an image made once again at the Buffalo Water Works. What an amazing place for so many cool shots. This was shot by crawling into and old rusty valve and shooting out.

Way Too Much Fun
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.
Big Things
This image is part of the big steam pump that I posted yesterday. This was amazing engineering for the time. Everything was massive and heavy.
The Contraption
I have been shooting up a storm in Buffalo, NY this past few days. As you know from previous posts I love the urban decay, rust and such. I was fortunate enough with some other photographers to be able to shoot in Buffalo’s Silo City. This is a huge complex where grain from all over the country used to come in the early 20th century. These building are immense and have been a great joy to photograph the last few days. There will be more images posted in the coming days. This shot though was done at the Buffalo Water Works where we also had an exclusive vista to photograph this place up close. This is one of the 100 year old massive pumps.
Painterly Ice
I am always trying to do something new and different. This is an image that was an iceberg shot from the northern polar icecap area. I processed the image through one of the Topaz programs and added a painterly effect to it. It gives it a whole new feel.
Beautiful Ice
Icebergs are one of my trip loves. I love photographing them because in a short time the only thing that remains is a photo. This photo was made in Antarctica this past November. I under expose the image and then bring it back in my raw processor to give it drama.
Ice Is Nice
I just love ice. And, there is not better place than Antarctica to photograph icebergs. This one with the dark sky caught my eye and lens.
Humpbacks and Icebergs
There is nothing better than being amongst some amazing icebergs and have a whale sighting. For this image we were cruising in the iceberg graveyard when a humpback surfaces and the image was made even better by the iceberg background. This is what visiting the Antarctica region is all about.
Donkey and Tree
Who left their donkey behind? Shot near Metztitlan, Mexico. See it on google earth CLICK HERE
Fields From Afar
I was visiting Mexico recently and my Friend Micahel along with Lars traveled into the heart of Mexico to do some landscape photography. We traveled many back roads and some of these were treacherous. This image was made near Metztitlan, Mexico. I shot it from a hillside as the sun was setting. The low light offered some nice shadows and textures. You can view the location for this shot by CLICKING HERE.
