Two from a shoot

I did a shoot for a local guy a week or so ago, and I guess I should post up a couple that were my favorites. The car is a Subaru WRX.

Homeless, and metal.

I felt kind of bad taking this one...

Old items

So, here are a few from tonights fun. I have more, but I have to work in the morning and don't want to process anymore.

I finally made it out to take a few pictures today. I am getting impatient with the weather, and as such, have not been out more. Anyway, I plan on taking a few days off within a few weeks to just go shoot.

One wet shot...

An old lead mine?

I made it to what I believe to be an old lead/galena mine.This is out near Mossville, IL. I had a hell of a time getting to this place. I walked about 6 miles today trying to find it. Alas, I did find the place, as well as an old pump house. The pump house is off off route 29 in Mossville.

On Guard!

This is what happens when I get bored, wire is laying around, and Monty Python is playing in my head...

I assumed that today was going to be one of the last nice weather days, so I had to go back to my favorite farm. There are no really technical shots here, cause I wanted to just play around. I did however, make my first panorama from 5 shots.

Anyway:

Pictures of a camera, with a camera?

I thought that this object may be very photogenic...

At the train tracks

I ran over by the edge of Mossville/Chillicothe to some tracks that I have shot before. I was up on the tracks taking a few pictures, and then I noticed a train flying towards me. Like an idiot, I stepped about twenty feet off the tracks, and held the camera up.

I can understand what the wild-life photographers mean when they say that they don't feel like they are ever close to danger. While looking throught the viewfinder, all is calm and not real. When the camera is not up to your face, you get an understanding of just how close to things you really are. A train that is going 50+ and about 20-25 feet away is honestly an scary thing!
