Whilst out failing to find any good "over the edge" shots today, I stopped at this abandoned cement factory on the A283 at Coombes near Steyning in W.Sussex (just up from Brighton). What a superb location it would be if you could get inside. I reckon a few notes passed to the rather cool dude who looked after it would work.
Anyway, this is what I got from the outside. I'm experimenting with black & white conversions after looking at this amazing site which is v.inspiring. I have got some of the techniques but as you'll see, there's still some way to go.
Enough natter, here they are shot with a Canon 350D with 17-55 F2.8IS and 70-200F4L, then tweaked violently in Photoshop.
#1 nice flower
#2
#3 excellent graffiti
#4 HDR'd shot then B&W'd
#5 wide angle. No barrel distortion correction yet - hence leaning chimney
#6 welcoming
#7 broken windows
Comments welcome as always.
