Industrial Panorama / See the Heat - Chicago 2010
Inside the Frinkl Steel plant in Chicago - heat everywhere, machines constantly moving, molten things pouring....I respect these workers. There were many, but only one remained still and didn't turn into a blur of movement.

commented over 1 year agoit's FINKL and maybe this should be in the HDR category?
evelyn fernandez
commented over 1 year agoi've been there; this looks like a crazy cartoon version of the serious work they do. i think i agree with the previous person... belongs in HDR

Stephen Leung
commented over 1 year agoanother great shot! i love the "gritty" feel of this picture. how did you get in there? do you know someone or did you just wandered in?
Cheryl Gibisch

Tom Powers
commented over 1 year agoI dont dig HDR photos, but this is an exception. Love this one.
Joe Lekas
commented over 1 year agoWell thanks! There's fake hdr with filters and one exposure overcooked, and real hdr, with many exposures fused into one. The first gives hdr a bad rep with some people. Understandable.
