<<< o >>>Photo Friday: Industrial 11 comments + add yours
chromasia.com

I was going to leave posting this image for a few days (at least) as it really isn’t all that different from my entry from yesterday, but as often happens, the Photo Friday weekly theme comes along and something I’ve not long taken is appropriate (this week’s theme is Industrial).

In comparison to yesterday’s entry: this was shot with a slower shutter speed (1/30 as opposed to 1/80) so there’s more ‘movement’ within the image, but (I think) it does a less good job of conveying a sense of motion. This one is also less diffuse: from what I can remember it had stopped raining by the time I took this one, so the road spray was less severe.

My immediate thought when I saw this theme was to consider Industrial from the perspective of industrialization. I live in the North of England, in what was once a cloth producing town, and there are many interesting examples of former Victorian mill building dotted around the town and the surrounding countryside. Another time perhaps ...

This one is even more kick-ass (can I say that?) than the last one. I like the unobstructed view of the moving tires.

I'm glad you decided to post this one, he almost looks like he's flying about an inch off the road in this shot.

I love the colors. The steely-blue, grain, and sense of motion are excellent. The blurred object in the foreground makes me feel like im sitting in the backseat, looking out the rear-window.

Thanks for all the great comments. I think this has to be one of my personal favourites at the moment, so I'm glad it was well received.

It's very rare for me to have an interesting shot out of a riding car, but this one ... It's so impressive! You managed to catch the truck as a mastodon and full of motion. Perfect picture, and it is my favorite of my web visit today.

Very visceral. I feel like I am in a movie action scene. Great shot.
