I was on early shift this morning. And before I even started, at around 6:45am, I took this one from my colleague Gertrud’s window:
Olympus E-PL1 with the Panasonic Lumix 14mm lens. Minus 0.7EV in camera, another minus 0.2EV in post. No cropping (and thus, the window frame; had only my short table tripod with me). Thanks for viewing.
On a fairly regular basis, I am on night duty for one night for starting up the melting and casting portion of our steel mill (known as a “melt shop”) and I also routinely complain about it.
And yet: I’ve gotten some of my best photos of the place walking around at night with PEN’s or the OM-D E-M5 and some fast lenses.
Sometimes these odd schedules really work as they put us in different lighting situations like the one here. The photo is really nice and I always love a blue/orange color contrast like you have here.
Thanks John – and yes, the odd hour can help a lot in finding/seeing light which is normally unseen. This is especially true for winter, when the air is fresh & clean on some days. Ice-cold I know, but it can make you realize that we’re actually in the universe, sorts of.
