First time using my new Tamron 17-70 2.8, and I'm very happy with the lens. 500mw plant closed 10 ish years ago. Been on my map since shortly after it closed, but I'm almost glad I waited so long. The slight decay yet cleanliness was very nice. They're getting closer to demolishing it and redeveloping the property. A tour was held last weekend, although they only looked around the outside of the property.

I edited these all in the car driving through some WV back roads at 2 am, so a lot of them are a little crooked. and have weird exposure. I'm too lazy to fix them.

1.


2.


3. Getting the most out of that 2.8


4.


5.


6.


7. Horrible lighting in this turbine hall


8. More of that 2.8


9. Trying to give some scale on these turbines. The inline layout doesn't do them justice


10.


11.


12. Working that 2.8 yet again


13.


14.


15. Only took this because it was 4:20 when I saw it.


16.


17.


18. Modernized then demodernized boiler controls


19.


20. Really crooked and really bugging me


21. Large trippers for the 10 boilers


22.


23.


24. Selfie of sorts in the lobby


25.


Thanks for looking

Your selfie is Artsy cool and the control rooms make me want to see this firsthand. 15 looks like a retro teapot or oil can to me... Love it!
