Steaming

Posted by Twelvebit (Victoria, United States) on 30 August 2008 in Business & Industry.

I'm woefully behind in viewing blogs and responding to comments. Seems like it's been one thing after another this week. I hope to catch up over the weekend.

You have made the industrial very pleasing here, Twelvebit. A wonderful image.

Nice composition and great B&W contrast !! It seems like the steam becomes the clouds in the sky... excellent job !

Fantastic industrial shot, strong graphical image, and the steam is just great.

@Observing: I "cheated" a little on this one. I only ended up with about 75% of what drew me to take this shot in the first place --a scene that included a bright sun upper right. But I realized during processing that all the sun did was add a bright hole across two sides of the frame and did nothing for the image itself, so I cloned it out.

Yes, you are woefully behind:-( However, this is a holiday weekend and not a good thing to spend it commenting on photos:-)

Love the image...breathe easy...lol...what are we doing to ourselves?

@sherri: Well, we always stay home when everyone else is having a holiday --though I admit I'm less inclined to do so during the cooler months. It's almost 100 degrees outside today, and pretty humid, so I'm not particularly anxious to be out and about. Anyway, we like to take our holidays when everyone else is staying home. We homeschooled our kids so we have never been bound to summer holidays.

Not sure how specific you intended your last remark to be, but there isn't any visible pollution here --everything visible is just steam.

cool shot. like the silhouette and light and the tones in the sky--though it doesn't look so much like steam to me, i was thinking pollution.

@danthro: It is steam though....really. The big stacks on the left side of the frame are the exit for combustion gases and nothing visible is coming out of them. The steam is being released from some kind of relief valve.
