|  | | | Ok, I've been holding back posting these. These represent a lot of work and a lot of time in a respirator.
This is my best of the best from this location.
Please offer constructive criticism...

| | | | Could I be seeing things? An unmolested Titan I? Very little rust, low water damage, not much graffiti, escape hatch still sealed, signs of scrapping low... Wow! Any images of this place would grab my attention! The only personal advice I can offer is to take more 'full-room' shots. In massive complexes like this, images that show monolithic proportions with dramatic shadow always seem to amaze. But reading that you've got more on the way makes me hope that you've saved the best for last! How 'bout a power dome shot?
The lines are all well done but I'm liking the pale hues in your images much more; as a high contrast kind of guy I could never really pull anything like that off. Did you use fluoro lights for this? I can only pick out one or two different images that look like they were lit by flashlight.

Thanks for the good feedback. All of this was lit with hand held flashlights. Mostly a 3C Krypton bulb Maglight, or a small 12 bulb LED. I think I did one of the tunnel shots with a bare flash at an angle to accentuate the ribbing of the tunnels.
#6 was a lit with a yellow gelled flash and the LED light. I tried to stick with the yellow and gray color theme of the place for this shot.
I'm posting more in my next reply.

#1 Equipment Terminal Level IV
Hoverfly does the flash work from downstairs after a 15 minute discussion on color selection. I think we picked the right color. I lit it from above with my Krypton.
#2 Powerhouse Exhaust Shaft
Hoverfly popped a gelled flash 15 times to light those portals. Interior lit with my Krypton flashlight. Since this was 'my' shot, I picked the color in after only 2 minutes.
#3 Powerhouse Exhaust Fans
#4 Powerhouse ceiling
Lighting this space was difficult. My LED headlamp w/ diffuser was on during the whole shot, providing general lighting to the space. I also used a 1,000,000 candle power spotlight to light the crane and its yellow tracks, as well as a 3C Krypton flashlight from 3 different angles.
#5 Powerhouse
Trying to capture the size of this underground chamber in a photograph is quite difficult. Here's my attempt. Seany is standing on the top of the right 'sentinel' to give a sense of scale. Thanks for posing for this shot Seany.
#6 Equipment Terminal tunnel to the silo
In an incredibly cramped space, your photo opportunities are limited. At 3ft tall by 1ft wide, this is the smallest door I've come across in my explorations. This small passageway led from the equipment terminal to Silo 1. 5ft behind me is Hoverfly at the edge of a sheer 60ft drop into Silo 1.
I'm still working on the latest batch.

Uh, yeah you did! The Titan I've visited really does look fifty years older. Again, the lack of decay here is mind bending. Does it reside in a relatively dry climate? 'Just really well sealed?
Since you have even more images coming (!) I'm gonna hold off on a critique for now.
I believe these are the same room. To those who know the anatomy and base function much better than I, feel free to add corrections!

My Titan: I apologize for the cruddy image.
Looks like they removed the upper floor in your location and left a portion of the generating equipment, but do you see the differences in condition? The power dome I've been to has been soaked in at least three-four feet of water countless times. The whole complex can be one big mud pit during the wet months, and everything non-concrete is one shade of rust or another.

Titans ftmfw.
While freeside's Titan is extremely well preserved, I think the decay in ours lends itself to photography. It's old, crusty, toxic, and completely mind-blowing, no matter what shape it's in.
I do need to see this one myself, though. Hey akron, road trip?
