about these photos I took a couple of days ago ?:D
Thank you.
This is an old factory where they used to manufacture cork, closed and abandoned many years ago.

I read in a book which title is "Higher A historic race to the sky and the making of a city" by Neal Bascomb offered by Ryan the Justiceiro when he visited me some months ago when he dinned grilled fish with my wife and myself, that cork from Portugal has been used in the construction of the Chrisler Building.
Probably from this very same factory. Who knows ? :dunno


I was in fact having fun with my full frame camera with the 16-35 lens:rofl

    Very interesting building, Antonio.

    Your color balance seems very good, and I see very little distortion with your very wide angle lens also. This is your new 5D, right?

    Nicely done.thumb.gif

    All colors and contrast and all look fine on my monitor.....however it would have been less strain on my eyes if there had been at least a single space between each photo (2 spaces would have been fantastic tho):D:D:Dthumb.gifthumbthumb.gif

    Thank you Jim.
    I have corrected perspective a bit and I have straighten the vertical lines.
    They were shot with the 5D, yes.

    It looks like you had a good time! There are a lot of photo ops in that old factory. WOW!

    The photos look great the way you have them. The lens you bought did a fine job. And between that and your making some adjustments there's very little distortion in this set.

    My favourite is the second to last one, very nice textures and lines. But the real question is: where is it and can I get inside ? :D

    Thank you Daniel. :D

    I am sorry but you can't go inside. I mean, you are not supposed to go inside unless I take you in undercover ...rolleyes1.gif

    Why ? Because this is inside the Town Hall where I am working and the access is restricted as you may imagine.

    Drop me a PM when you wish and can come. :D

    I've had to come back to these a couple of times to be able to actually feel how I feel about these photos. It was not something that came to me right a way.

    I think I like #5 and #6 the best of the group and it's the lines.

    In #5 it's the pipes (or whatever they are) and the parallel lines they make. The geometry of the image. Not too sure about the arrow sign on the floor though.

    In #6 it's the lines "disappearing" to the vanishing point. Were I there I would have been strongly tempted to make the image from a number of different locations, in addition to where you made this one. The position that first came to mind would have been a little lower and little more to the right.

    Like other's have said, the lines, the color, the contrast; they all come together to make some quite powerful images. Well done, indeed! clap.gif

    Hello Scott. :D
    Nice of you to comment my pictures.bowdown.gif
    I hope to be able to shoot again the same place and I will give a try the way you pointed out.
    In this permisses - if I may say so of this place - there are other places more powerfull in machines which will be very nice to capture with the 16 mm and the 5D.
    I have done it before but not in a so dramatic way that we can get by the use of the 16mm in a full frame camera. I was then using the 20D.
    Here are two pictures I shot with the 16-35 and the 20D.

    Just took a look at your last two posted photos. I like the first one thumb.gif

    But the second one....I don't know why, but my eyes always follow down the walkway to the white wall and I see two broken out pieces of the wall and a pipe. Looks like a face to me headscratch.gif

    I would love to take photos in there. It would be so much fun. Just playing with the light that comes through the windows can last all day rolleyes1.gif

    Thank you for the comment. :D
    In fact, I thing the first photo will be more dramatic if shot with a real 16mm.
    Indeed, we can see a face at the wall. I had not seen it ! :D
