Almost no photoshop on these. Just RAW conversion and some straightening.

AWESOME! I see nothing wrong with them.

Very nice work. All our refineries around here glow orange instead of green. I drive by the refineries or the Port of Houston and I find the industrial scenery interesting. I knew it wasn't just me. This picture proves it can be a wonderful subject.

lizheaemma · Jun 4, 2005

Wow! It's like you can see right through those big storage tanks! What amazing shots!

Raymond J Barlow · Jun 4, 2005

Ah, more "Pursuer"-refinery photos! Very good. My husband will love these!
Another field that wants to be explored: industry photography. I have some very good "teachers" here (and next to no industry in my nearer surroundings........... :roll: )

Maybe you and I could make a deal and you create a calendar for him for 2006?

Thye really don't look real. Like they were made on a computer. Actually, they look like screenshot froma game. The fog is making them soft and dreamy. They really stand out!

I'm gonna have to close this thread because I keep flicking back to the photos. I won't get anything done at this rate.

The second one is a killer shot - are those stars in the top right or hot pixels?

Canoncan · Jun 5, 2005

These are great. Like them alot.

pursuer · Jun 5, 2005

Wow, thanks everyone!

Raymond here are the details:

first shot:
13 seconds @ f/8 , ISO 100, shot with the rebel kit lens @ 55mm

second shot:
30 seconds @ f/7.1 , ISO 100, shot with the rebel kit lens @ 18mm

LaFoto I am glad your husband enjoys them

I don't have enougth calendar worthy refinery shots for an entire year yet,but there are a few more vantage points I want to try shooting from so I probably will before too long. Too bad they just wont let me wander around in there

Tempra, yes they are stars. I was actually thinking of cloning them out but so far have been too lazy.
