This site is huge and in my opinion one of the nicest and most relaxed industrial explores I have done. the amount dust and pigeon shit in here is incredible with it being about half a foot deep in places so masks are essential. this is large scale industry at its finest enjoy:

| | | | The pictures, as a whole, are really well done. Your compositions are really well thought out and function nicely. The one thing Ive noticed over time is that you seem to rely on blowing out colors to attain a sort of cross-process feel. Im only mentioning it because Ive seen it show multiple times in your photographs across multiple postings. My suggestion would be to use less of the cross-process feel that is created in post processing, and rely more on the actual colors and textures already present in the photograph.

| | | | 11 is really nice, One and two are almost at too much of an angle. And 12's composition is little off, i think it's too centered. really nice set.

| | | | These are gorgeous.
I've been following your stuff for some time, and it fascinates me.
The only thing that I would really like to see more of is B+W's as it seems your photos are so dominant in tonality that the color is just meaningless.

| | | | Pretty damn amazing set, I love #5.
As a friend once told me, "That Picture just raped me."
Very well done man, too bad this locale is in the UK, it looks really hard core.

| | | | The colors in these are amazing. Personally I dislike the crooked angles in 1 and 2. But they are still pretty good.

| | | | I really like the pictures for a variety of reasons. The composition is spot on with some of them and I really love your use of subtle and the muted colors of the environment. The lighting is also impressive and would be lost if you took the pictures in black and while IMO.

I like to have a unique style and I find that giving the images a cross processed look in post processing is aesthetically pleasing to myself, and that is what in my opinion is most important.
| Nice pictures, but some look fake. You didn't HDR them, did you? ;) |
none of these are HDR, they are all shot raw using lightroom and photoshop to edit.

i shoot film if i want to shoot black and white, i dont see the point in turning shots black and white as often.
thanks for all the comments, any more?

| | | | First 14 Images is a bit much to expect anyone to do a proper critique. I'm not sure some of these were really worth posting.
1) This photo Looks tonally flat and dull, The angle is also a bit extreme. simply redoing the post production could improve this photo.
2) average, the angle feels unnatural and forced.
3) quite like this one, nothing too special though.
4) barrel distortion and the blown highlights on the window dont really do this shot any favours although the colour is interesting.
5) best of the bunch, by a long way composition contrast and colour are all strong.
6) Ok but in comparison to 5 its uninspiring.
7) Where is the point of focus in this image? what is the subject? and why is it interesting? what am I the viewer supposed to take away from this shot? It provides no insight into the place nor is it aesthetically interesting.
8) ...
9) Not a bad shot, shows the space but at the same time it hasnt made me go wow.
10) I can see what you were trying to do here I think, But the spanner and the handle on the left actually detract from the photo as a whole perhaps moving & rearanging the items in this shot could have given better results.
11) Quite like this one, Very much in the fine art vien but theres something nice about the composition.
12) Has too much going on around the subject the pipe and the metalwork on the right are distracting, Moving these and getting closer to the subject would result in a better photo.
13) I quite like this photo compositionally, no strange angles the simplicity is nice though the high contrast does i think detract from the photo.
14) Tonally flat, Compositionally dull generally doesnt hold my interest.
As a general comment you should look to think about how your images are viewed as a set of photos, Obviously they are all of the same place but you need to unify your style more. to develop the way the photos are viewed as a set. This could be done by sticking to a single aspect ratio and going for a unified look regarding post production.

I understand that, but I still feel more should be converted to B+W. Of course, they are your photos in the end.
Also, I agree with what RM said, too many pictures for a serious critique of each one.

| | | | I really like the pictures you too, just amazing. Something about industry just excites me, I think its just the scale and ruggedness of everything is amazing. Like how 30 years after its abandoned a machine can still be sturdy as a rock and ready to fire up if it had the chance just amazes me. Again, awesome work.
