Transitional Industrial Utopia - .02

You’re a gem LisaG! Thank you! :D

Beautttttttttttttiful!!!!!!!

This is fabulous. I said WOW out loud when I first saw it. Love the clouds and the shadows.

You’re doing some great work here, Paul. Keep it up, mate. Wonderful shot.

Can’t say anything ,my eyes keep staring at it…...........

Thank you very much Mel, Naomi and Mark!! :D

You are very kind micmac, thank you!! :D

Love your view of the industrial Paul…................xkc

Thank you very much Karen! :D

great urban composition, love the wide, small disortion and colours..
great lens, yestarday i bougth the canon 10-22 ,so i’m starting to expeement too :-)

This looks fantastic Paul. I love that vibrant blue sky too. Great work.

Great shapes, looks like a film set, not quite real…the cloudscape is a good juxstapostion against the hard concrete, I love that the windows and doors invite you to pass beyond the industrialsim to freedom…

Very cool. Not out west by any chance was it? Somewhere near Point Cook?

My goodness !! another wall !! looks like old castles in the middle age before/after a battle !
However I like the composition and the colours.. What a strong photo.. buildings growing and growing.. what about the landscapes ???? A what a problem :)

Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful comments!!
Stran9e, Chanel, Jewd, Jodi and Marieancolie! :D

love the grey concert against that fabulous sky!

Wowzerssss .. This has such a strange purity to it. As if it is there accidentally.

wow Paul, this is fab. Love the surreal feel. Excellent work as always.

Exellent work Paul…..

This is just incredible. I can see how you feel at home Paul.

The feel to this shot is just so real – The colours and tones are amazing

Excellent work Paul!

This is fantastic – it’s like those poles are holding up the windows to the world. great style and texture Paul – superb image!

Lovely, great eye! Reminds me of a movie but I can’t think of the name of it… not important anyway but it will come to me later… great color in this shot!

i walk along the top of these tilt panels all day for a living and never get bored
fantastic shot would be interesting to see b4 it was corrected

Fantastic work Paul, composition, colors, treatment…

that’s gorgeous. I love the striking starkness and the contrasts – also the lines and the symmetry. Fantastic. i can’t favourite it quick enough.

CLUNK That was my jaw hitting the keyboard. You always seem to do this to me Paul! Freaking superb capture!

Brilliant, the sky is amazing and looking through the stark concrete, brilliant!

Have you edited this or do the clouds over the left windows really look like a pair of eyes peering at you?

now this is art!! awesum PLV!

looks very cool paul – really like the series too~

Thank you so very much everyone, I’m touched by your generosity of time and comment! :D Nicole, Fly Boy, Kitsmumma, Anthony, Stuart, Antoine, Paul, RachJayn, Banditart, Catalin, Lightsmith, Rhana, alterego, bodymechanic and allgedfilm!
_just to answer a couple of questions… yes, the image was corrected (perspective only) and HDR’d, a little contrast and neating! Took all my courage to leave it in color! ;p oh and the clouds have not been altered, never noticed the eyes looking over to the left, nice one alterego! :D

Brilliant find.

Spot on John, I couldn’t help myself once I had driven past!! It was all I thought about for 7 days!!! LOL!! Thanks mate! :D

Great shot

Just look at that beautiful blue sky against the neutral grey of the building! Fabulous textures and shadows! The walls even seem to mimick the clouds. Love this Paul!

Thank you so very much Ruth! :D

Looks so temporary, but concrete rarely is. The sky and doorway contrasts are super in this Paul – Another gem.

Good morning Graemesdesigns! Thanks heaps for the comment! :D

Hey thanks heaps Tom! :D

Excellent work!

Thanks heaps Alan! :D

Love it! I want to see it from the other side too!

Love this Paul! Really graphic and cool.

Thanks so very much Paul and Mark! :D

it has to be said – you are a creative genius – this is superb – if i took this it would like a flat piece of concrete – you have a created a stage for a wonderful performance – amazing colours (can you say that about grey – you can when it’s the work of PLV lol!!!) – say no more – i just love it!!!!

Fav of the set. I used to work in Pre-cast. Makes an interesting pic.

This is really cool..I LOVE how the sky looks…Very cool shot indeed! Nice work =)

What a striking image! Excellent job of composing this fine work of art! Wonderful presentation!

Awwww, you guys are the nicest in the whole wide world!! :D
Thanks to Deborah, Adrian, Madison and fickeringlightstudio!

Superb my friend

Thanks heaps Sorin! :D

My husband + I saw something like this, during a bus ride, on our visit to Australia in ‘88, except the facade of the building was showing.

Cool! Thanks for sharing Arlene! :D

Wowzers Paul!!! Did you put those 2 faces in the clouds???? amazing!

LOL!
Hey there Lee! No I didn’t!
In fact i never even noticed them until someone else made me aware!
Thanks mate! :D

wow – great one with a surreal touch.

i love this photo this is very good photo

Beautiful image!

Thank you so very kindly, Tuku, Wanda and Ellen! :D

I went through all your work. It’s amazing, but this one stands out to me the most. What a strong piece. Thanks for your comments.

Thank you so very much Buddy! :D

What a beauty!

Thanks so very much bluerabbit! :D

OOOOO I love Mr Louis V – quite serreal and that sky!!!!!! its reminds me of Salvadore Dali’s style for some reason – obviously without the melting clock’s but you know what i mean? i love it i could sing your praise’s all day!

Awwww, you’re a gem Witheringmoon!
Thank you for that wonderful comment and for the Dali comparison!!
I love Dali!! ;p!

It’s like the back of a movie set; fantastic!

Great perspective, thanks BlueKnot! :D

Painterly and surreal, ironic and humerous. This is the effect I attempt with pigment, but you have succeeded. Makes me think of switching medium. Bravo!

LOL! That’s a wonderful comment, thanks so much Angel!! :D

Geez! I’m behind with this one! Great work PLV,
that structure against that brilliant blue sky is awesome!

What a surreal sight. I like the composition, but I also feel it might work at a lower angle, to exaggerate the size of those concrete slabs. I love the way each window has its fragment captured within it.

Thank you so very much Spike!!! (love that nic name!!)
..and thanks also to Sarah Matthews! Sarah, you make a great suggestion and I’ll let you in on the shoot. This particular wall I shot for about 15 minutes and yes from down low and from all sorts of different perspectives and lenses. Once I got home and started the post prod this was the only angle that worked for me. I’m sure if I posted three or four more pics of the same wall from varied perspectives they would’ve pleased the eye of different people. I really have to admit too that it wasn’t until I corrected the perspective (lens distortion) of this particular image that it actually made any sense to me! :D

Mezmorising….........fabulous image !!!

Thank you so very kindly GlobalPhotos! :D

you dont need my praise you get enough.

LOL!!!
That’s ok! Thanks for stopping by u03ajp4! :D

very strong composition

Thanks heaps paulevelin! :D

great shot Paul I assume from the dark shadow this is not a HDR image. Nice series.

You got that straight! Thanks so much Ian! :D

The concrete parts are kind of Daliesque, but I don’t remember which painting. (Something in bright sunlight with sticks holding things up). Anyway, I digress…this is a rather compelling piece PLV. (Suggested sub-tiltle: “It’s all a Facade?”)

Hey, i like that idea! Thank you manotron! :D

Wonderful. Like a modern ruin.

Thank you muchly rustyjaw! :D

Nicely done!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!
