 |  |  | photos of the carrie furnaces
< on 3/9/2009 10:48 PM >
|  | | | sure, everybody has seen the furnaces. for the four of you out there unfamiliar with the site, the carrie furnaces were built in 1881 as part of u.s. steel's homestead works, a sprawling 400-acre complex that spanned both sides of the monogahela river. they produced up to 1,250 tons of steel a day until 1978 when they were closed. while the majority of the site was razed for developments that never materialized, the 100-foot high furnaces still stand; now they are an extremely rare example of pre-WWII ironmaking technology. the furnaces were designated as a national historic landmark in 2006 but their future remains uncertain.

| | | | I like that first one, it's one of the few angles I never got around to seeing in person. Is that straight from the camera or did you do something to push the colors a bit? It kind of has an EDR look to it in some places, did you do something like that or was it just a trick of the October sky?

Any chance of seeing what they looked like from the camera? I tend to avoid the post-processing, mostly because I never have the patience to learn how to do it well, instead I work on getting as much as I can just with the camera.
Here's a few I got in the same place:

Sorry for not embedding them properly, I never have any luck with that on here.
So are you a local or were you just traveling through?

| | | | Wow, beautiful pictures! I'm gonna have to make a trip out there, I never heard about them before.
And at last I resolved to scale that tower, fall though I might;
Since it was better to glimpse the sky and perish,
Than to live without ever beholding the day. |

thank you for sharing your photos with me - it looks like the furnaces would be a great place for night photos! i know editing isn't for everybody and have a lot of respect for people who can get what they want in-camera, but i love it. i am a semi-local, i live about 3.5 hrs from pittsburg (in harrisburg). i don't come out that way very much but may make a trip out in the next month or two. as for seeing what it looked like in camera... hm. which one?
