Went out to the ruins of a former gravel quarry the other evening to get some sunset shots and try out long exposures with my new monopod. This was also my first time experimenting with external colored light, so let me know what you think of these!

2. The "claws" where gravel, rocks, and sand would be dropped into trucks that would drive through the structures.

I've never artificially lit an outdoor scene, so I cannot speak on a technical level, but I like what you've done.
The "bookend" photos of your set are stand-outs for me. The transition from day to night is cool. I visited a similarly sparse set of concrete structures today, and I'm definitely seeing here how I could have approached photographing them differently.

Utilisez la fonction d'exposition longue durée de votre appareil photo et réglez la lumière colorée à l'endroit où vous souhaitez qu'elle soit.

Thanks! Glad you like the set. Anyways try and look for those unique angles, even if your subjects are just some concrete blocks haha. Perspective is everything.

These shots look great man! Love the red backlighting!

These are really cool! 9 is my favorite because I like how the red light fits with the dripped colors to the right. In 10 you can see some stars!
The #1 rule about poking things with sticks is never use your finger. |

The colored lighting is really cool. Adds a nice sci-fi feel to the shots.

I've lived near this for 20+ years now. Still haven't checked it out. Nice pics of the place. Good to see a little more detail than I could see from the road. Confirmed what I was thinking about the structures.

I live just about five minutes from this place as well. Have been driving by speculating what they could’ve been for the past 15 years too, so finally decided to just send it and check them out. Thanks for the comments and good to see you back as well!

I clicked this thread thinking you were talking about actual bones but was pleased regardless.
You've got some really sexy shots, especially #9 & 10. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of lights do you use?

To be fair I actually did run across some animal bones at this spot haha. Glad you’re still satisfied with the shots.
Regarding the light, I wish I had a better answer for you but my colored lighting method is really jank. It’s just a $20 LED camera light I bought on Amazon a few years back and I put a plastic traffic cone on top of it, giving it the orange glow. Does the job but I’m looking to buy a real colored lighting setup in the near future.

Got any pics of the bones? I might be able to ID them if you're interested.
Thanks for the explanation! I'm new to the world of artificial lighting and this sounds like a good place to start. I'll have to look more into it.
