Brewery Ruins

Awais Yaqub

Hi went to have fun time with friend at hill station near to our city about 1 hour drive called "Murree" i was interested to capture some snowy landscapes but there was no snow at that time. We stopped at Murree Brewery old factory ruins. It was built by British when they occupied this region. Now factory is moved to better place you can read more about at wikipedia Check the Image from 1860's here

Excellent set, Awais! Great colors and "mood", as previously stated.
Interesting history of the brewery in Wikipedia too.

Beautiful series, Awais. I particularly like 3, 4, and 5. Are you applying some HDR techniques to #3. Very interesting color and contrast.

Fantastic! Great comps and processing all around, you did good work with a captivating subject.

Incredible shots! I love architecture and ruins (have done a series on Mayan ruins). Love the black and white, it gives it such a wonderful perspective.:D

firedancing4life

I like how you used the broken arch to frame some of the shots!

leaforte

Very cool series.

Beautifully captured as always, Awais . I think # 4 is my absolute favorite!

Nice set, Awais. I like the B/Ws and the sunset best. You made good use of the geometry. Well done

Fabulous shot, but this is a sad, sad thing. Who would let this happen to a brewery????

More great images Awais. I'm more and more impressed everytime I see your work. This is probably just me and I seriously doubt anyone would agree but from a presentation standpoint, I'd like to see these in 2 separate threads - monotone and color. The only reason I say that is that the monotone images display a starkness while the color images are more.... I'm not sure... hopefull maybe. The contrast in the 2 styles I think detracts from the emotion behind the post. Just an idea and as I said, it's probably just me.

I like the ones that are looking thru the arches and the last two as well. Nicely finished with a great perspective giving that feel and mood. As usual...I think your photos are wonderful.

Very nice Awais, I like the 6th image through the arch particularly!

Alcohol stuff is not popular here though people drink but it is not something public and celebrated here. It is a surprise that a country like Pakistan has brewery factory and running smoothly . This one in picture was burnt down in India Pakistan patrician riots, now it operates in Rawalpindi a city near to Pakistan's capital Islamabad.
