2013 Watts Boats

interesting composition with various black/gray objects in a single frame with varying distance (depth). b/w, of course, was the right choice here. compliments -koushik

Thanks for your thoughts.  I haven't been too active, photographically speaking, of late and needed something to start the year off with.  This seemed a good candidate to me.  These two buildings have a long history together and I was simply trying to emphasize that fact photographically.  Best, LM.

Very cool, Len! And I mean that literally! Another of your professional compositions and captures. I like the contrasts and juxatapostion of the two signs; The faintness of the elevators in the background really show how blustery it was. You weren't re-enacting our -20 degree C photo shoot from a few years ago were you?

Interesting image but your mention of a "long history" piques even greater interest...

 

So, the story please.

 

 

So good to hear from you again.  For a while there I thought you'd given up on us.  It was a typical Georgian Bay snow squall that day.  Snow like heck one minute and clear the next.  I thought of the large terminals as a fading glory and it turned out to actually look like that.  Go figure!  Your memory of that cold outing nearly 10 years ago has faded as well it seems.  The temperature that day was -27F if memory serves me and I'm just now getting the feeling back in my extremities.  :-)  Thanks for your most welcome visit & don't be a stranger.  Best, LM.

Good to have piqued your interest Steve.  They say a link is worth a thousand words so I'll point you to a good starting point to quench your thirst for knowledge of these two buildings.   Hope this helps explain things.  Google is your friend for further study.  Best, LM.

hi len. of course i dont know anything about the two buildings (but i'm courious...). but no doubts the photo connected them. something as father and son. the different tones and the exp. time, with the snow that seems to misure the wind's speed, are well done. simples photos are the most difficult. also the brunches on the left have importance here. bravo. whay is written on the bigger building? columbus?

Hi Len

Atmospheric eyes catching capture, it has a very nice feeling in its diagonal tones difference. Best regards

Very nicely composed beautiful work, Len!

 

Always good to hear from you.  I'm sure that these 'slices of life' from my backyard are as interesting to you as yours are to me.  Let's keep it going!  Best, LM.

"Collingwood Terminals Limited"  (grain elevator) As I said to Steve, Google could be of assistance if in-depth information is desired.  I'm surprised I don't have a post showing that larger structure.  I'll try to remedy that later this year.  Thanks for your visit.  Best, LM.

You provide much of my inspiration for the B&W image.  Thanks for the thumbs up.  Best, LM.

Great result for this well composed B/W . I like the DOF,which is well defining BG and FG.  The old looking FG  and what looks a more modern industrial building. All in all this one and the previous one,are a good evidence of the changes in our modern world, industrial and other chamges from old to new...Very nice Len!

Good to have your input on this one.  The foreground building is a wooden structure for Watts Boats which is currently in use, the concrete one in the background is an old grain elevator, unused for that purpose for many years now.  Best, LM.

Your constructive comment\critique will be gratefully received. Best, LM.
