Ten Seconds

I decided to try to shoot the industrial landscape of the town I was born in the way I see it in my head. I took a visit to the pulp mill first. Most people from Saint John see these things and think they're a disgusting eye sore obscuring the sunset on the west side. I never really agreed with that.

They may be dirty and smell pretty bad; but that doesn't mean they can't be beautiful, too.

Ten second exposure zoomed to 200mm.

    Nice shot. Mills make for great photographs you have the right idea for an ugly area.

    great shot! I like the smooth look you got there - how long was the exposure there? Rocks!

    Good idea, a different perspective is always nice.
