Mar 15 - Levels of rust


Mar 15 - Levels of rust

Old fire escapes on an old factory building in Dover. Taken from an angle that puts each level almost inline with each other. It helped that I was able to step on a snowbank for this shot. I had to crop it pretty tight as I was on the North side of the building in the shade, the sky was pretty blown out. I realized this while I was out there and tried to compose it in such a way that the intricate curves on the escape would make the crop. While I was out there I noticed the rust but didn't pay much attention to it. During Post Processing, I can see that theses landings were pretty rusted.

I was with my youngest daughter, coming back from her swim lessons when I saw the factory out of the corner of my eye. I've probably seen it a hundred times, it is not one of the more prominent ones, this is back behind one of the churches parking lots. It was a great area for me as I was able to pull into a small turn around and park. It is Sunday, there is no one there, during the week it is used as a warehouse for a local auto parts chain. For the most part, its location was a boon, I was shooting in the shade which gave me some nice lighting.
