I post in this section because I am really looking for a critique from you. I seriously want to know what you may dislike about these shots. If you like them, that's great and I appreciate it, but please tell me what you don't like about them. This was from a recent outing. Shots are from the inside of an outfall. Number One Number Two Who put that skinny white dude in the shot? Thank you!

There is something very Sci-Fi about this. And then, it asks the question: in a cold, uncaring, ruthless world of corporate slavery and assembly-line experiences . . . how is it possible to still live a life with strength, and passion, and with a soul that is still truly alive? argonian  Location: Toronto, ON Gender: Female "Now with added cats!"  |  Re: Underground - Two Shots <Reply # 3 on 8/3/2008 10:42 AM >   I like them. I agree with what micro said, but would also say that there is a branch or something in the left of the window that kinda takes away from the symmetry. Que pasa, baby?

Posted by nanguz ... but I agree about the thing in the window Thanks guys. That's why I love this section, because I would have never noticed that myself. If I'm at all energetic, I might have to try and photoshop that branch out. He who rules the underground, rules the city above. metawaffle  King of Puns Location: Brisbane!

As for the second one, what it really needs is a John Travolta Saturday Night Fever pose. Come on, you know it's true.

Buawahahh...that is an excellent idea! I would love to do a retro UE set wearing 1970's exploration gear and whatnot. I have the 1970's cameras (just picked up a Minolta SRT101 yesterday), just need to stop off at the Salvo and grab some clothes. That might actually be a fun isea for themed urbex meet. Seriously, what will the police do when they see that you'll all wearing 70's clothes, or even better yet used tuxedos's and wedding dresses? Probably just laugh and tell you to leave.

I wore a trilby, suit and wellies one night, and posed by a derelict boat for a few long exposures. They were truly awful I have a vague plan involving a balaclava and mirrored aviator glasses, but I've been hampered by not actually owning either. But yeah, what better way to spice up the well-worn silhouette-in-drain shots than to go retro! Actually, now that I've said that, would you believe there's a drain meet happening somewhere very soon that demands its participants wear Salvo's suits? And groinal enhancements, but that's another matter. http://www.longexposure.net sYnOnYx  Location: Las Vegas , NV Gender: Male what happens here, doesnt stay here.  |  |  |  |  Re: Underground - Two Shots <Reply # 9 on 8/4/2008 4:48 PM >   I think they came out great !

I'm guessing it's just the light coming through a flood gate at the outfall? Nah, I only visit the nice cushy drains with all the amenities of home, except this one was in The Matrix, so it was green. Really though you got it right. It's an overflow outfall and if the water level ever reaches 7 feet only then will it overflow out into the stream with those nice green photographic filters (tree leaves). Normally though the water is contained and makes it sway to a pump station and on to the treatment plant. He who rules the underground, rules the city above.

If you're going to go with the flat, dry, calm, quiet, straight-ahead composition your horizontals have kinda gotta be horizontal, yo Sorry. I just wanna reach in and tweak it round clockwise slightly. trent  I'm Trent! Get Bent!

Second shot is just fine though. Cypre  Location: Saskatoon  |  Re: Underground - Two Shots <Reply # 16 on 8/28/2008 1:36 AM >   Love the colours in the first. And the second one does have that sci-fi feeling to it. Very cool. desmet  When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.  |  |  |  Re: Underground - Two Shots <Reply # 17 on 8/28/2008 9:59 PM >   Ditto to micro. Both good shots, could have some more shadow detail.
