Factory Take 2

These Photos have all been edited on Windows Live Photo Gallery. This is a photograph of my old hang out spot. This is a personal space. It's secluded and it's a very interesting place to just sit around and spend time. I always sat on the wall and waited for the train to pass right under my feet. I am going to try and incorporate somehow the emotions I felt  and  the experiences that this space has brought me. 

In this image I wanted to concentrate the attention of the viewer towards the train tracks. The heavy contrasts from black to white brings crispness that expresses greatly the emotions I wanted to show, which are power, fear, danger and awe. I wanted these emotions to show because when you sit in the same spot I was you become embodied with a certain sense of impending doom this is partly because you would be at a height and if you were to fall you would be left helpless on a train track to seclude to be found. And it’s this primal sense of self-preservation that appeals to me and I wanted it to shine through this work.

This image is a good example of the view from my hang out spot. The black and white really shows the abandonment of the whole area and I love how the branches direct your eyes and sort of point you towards the focal-point of the image which is obviously the abandoned factory.

In this image I like how the trees and bushes seem to frame the factory

This is one of my favorite images that  iv'e ever taken. I didn't want to mess with it too much and every time I tried to improve it I didn't like the result because the original was just perfect to begin with. but I did however settle for black and white to add a more prolonged experience for the viewer to immerse themselves with my piece. After my first day photographing the area it was apparent to me that sometimes a figure would help me express some of the emotions that I wanted to show and certainly in this piece the figure makes it.

Here is the original image completely unaltered and as you can see there is almost no difference between them.

this image is somewhat remnant of a train station with the high roofs and steel frames 

This room contained large amounts of polystyrene blocks and during summer sometimes you can see some  opportunistic kids using them to create make-shift rafts I often wondered where they got them when they floated past me on the river barrow and now I know.

A collapsed strut which almost completely buckled under the extreme pressure of the concrete and iron roof.

A pipe to know where 

 I really like this image of the mysterious little car's perspective I always imagine it as if it were alive and had a mind of its own and I wondered what it might be thinking and I wondered what it was looking towards. i darkened this image a lot. This was because I wanted to hide all the debris on the floor and I really like how this further personified the upper-left window.
