The abbey pumping station photoshoot 1

I did a photoshoot of the abbey pumping station on friday. The only problem i actually had is that its locked until febuary, however i managed to take some photos through the gates. The location is rather atmospheric, however the space center is just behind it so framing i had to be careful not to get that in (its a very futuristic looking building!) another thing is that going about midday the sun was behind the building which means that some of the images are very dark or sihouttted, i dont mind this but u loose alot of the detailing on the building. i will revisit on one of the days that i can get into the ground to explore abit more and experiment more. I deffo think that i dont want to continue to shoot on digital as its far to clean and crisp and i think that film will give a better atmosphere. 














































I feel with these images i would be able to improve if i could get closer or without barriers in the way. I do like the first image as you can see the detailing of the house in all its glory and i think thats my fave image. the  second image is an example of what i took through the gates at the front. These are the images that came out rather dark as the building was backlit, so maybe revisiting at different time of day will create better lighting. Again these aint as atmospheric as i would of liked but overall theyre not to bad. Its interesting how the lighting has changed from the first image (rahter cold)  to the bottom image where the lighting is rather warm.
