Evening light

I usually enter abandoned sites early in the morning. However, I dilly-dallied today and didn't get out of the house until mid afternoon. Electing not to be weighed down by my cumbersome tripod I took only a flashlight and my 24mm & 50mm prime lenses.


I was standing inside of the Glenwood Power Plant by 3:00 and was taken aback by the difference in the lighting. The evening light reflected off of the Hudson River and shimmered on the walls, beams and ceiling about which I meandered with my camera.


The familiar plant had taken on an entirely new air and I quickly found myself transfixed in “the zone” as my friend and I call it - satisfyingly engorged in photographic concentration.


I moved about as though I were a camera myself... adjusting for exposure, angle, depth of field and composition nearly everywhere my eyes focused. Here are a few images from this evening's venture into one forgotten land of beautiful decay.

Glenwood

This morning I took the Metro North local train to the Glenwood Power Plant. I haven't been to this site with my new camera yet and was eager to get inside and enjoy myself. Here are a few images from today.

One from Glenwood

This past weekend I went back to the Glenwood Power Plant for a walk around the first floor. I will definitely be going back there the next time it rains. There are plenty of deep pools of water that I didn't fully capitalize on this past trip. Next time... next time.
