Drift Electric

by Harry Lichtman

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted February 16, 2013281 views9 comments
Another from a series of Industrial Landscapes for a client along the Piscatiqua River in Newington NH. This is Westinghouse Electric's base of operations along the River. This plant is involved in the production of nuclear components for electricity generation in the USA. The nuclear energy debate aside, I found it a challenging subject to shed in a new light. I had the good fortune of finding some small ice floats in the river near low tide to jazz up the image.

5DII, 24-105L, 20 sec., f16, single image processed x 2

It's definitely not my favorite subject, but you do make these scenes look gorgeous somehow!

Looks gorgeous! The snow covered ice float adds some life to the river, and the lighted up buildings give an attention grabbing glow to the scene. I like industrial scenes like this. A lot of hard, honest labor went into this plant.

Another beauty, and yes, I hate to admit it. :biggrin: And yet, what would we do without them?

Two really nice industrial shots Harry. As others have said you show your skill in creating such wonderful images out of the mundane. Love the colours.

Thanks folks for the comments on the last 2. Not my usual area of photographic interest, I just pretend I'm out in the wilds and those are mountains, with a coffee in hand of course :biggrin:

Terrific "industrial shot", Harry. I like the dramatic lighting (with the starburst lights), the reflections in the river, the blowing steam and the cool/warm color contrast between the lights and the evening sky. The ice flow is a fine addition.
