p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Rise to the Stars


I hope everyone's having a great new year. I took this on january 1st during the trip with my friends. It's a photo I had in my mind for a while (at least 6 or 7 years, but it only came back to me 6 months ago . It was taken in a long abandoned iron-melting furnace. I also put together a few thoughts about it in a short article on my website: http://milanhutera.com/bats-furnaces-and-flashlights/

http://milanhutera.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/rise-to-the-stars.jpg
Tech: Canon 1D IV, Canon 24-70L, cable release, flashlights, 2 exposures (light painting - 4 minutes at iso 400, f8, stars - 15 seconds at iso 3200, f2,8)

I also have a photo of the entrance to the furnace. Sadly, some early visitors left the tracks in the snow, so it isn't as neat as I hoped for.

Tech: Canon 1D IV, Canon 24-70L, cable release, f8, 2 minutes single exposure, 3 flashlights (it actually took 3 people to do this )

Any C&C appreciated. Thanks

I really like these - a bit different but not just for the sake of it and give you a real sense of the cold. The footprints don't detract for me. Nice work! Lizzie

Lizzie, Snowman and Rick - thanks for your comments, glad you enjoyed my first photos of 2013. Perhaps the subject itself doesn't feel like nature, but it's set in the heart of the woods. Next time I'm there, I'll take a photo showing it in its natural surroundings.

Both images are outstanding, with #1 being the strogest of the two. Nice to see something different and "fresh" for change.

Hey Milan,

Man... #1 is incredibly sweet! What a great job lighting that up too. It's very evenly lit, which I would not think was too easy. I really like it!

#2 is cool too, for me, I wish the foot prints weren't in the snow, or if there were any foot prints, it was just one set going in... that would have been cool. I have done that on a few shots before, where I had set up my camera to take some shots and the snow was untouched, and after taking some untouched shots, I walked down through the snow to create a single path, and then had to carefully walk backwards in my previous foot prints to get back out to my camera to take the shot... It was fun..

Jim

Amaji, Jim and Jim - thanks for your comments, glad you liked them.

Jim Fox - I acually needed only 3 attempts to light it and all were good, I just liked this one best. I used my rather powerful flashlight and my friend added his slightly more blue headlamp light. Sadly, there were several sets of tracks present (somebody probably went to see the furnace during the day) so there was nothing we could do about them
