Storm Clouds Brewing

By skoffs
I had a shoot planned on the Eastern Chesepeake Shore, but they got 2 straight days of rain there. So I headed to an old boarded up factory in Norristown, at the side of the bike trail, that I've been itching to shoot on a cloudy day. The ominous mood matches the job outlook for textile workers in these parts. Tone mapped and converted to B&W in Photomatix, perspective adjustment in PS.

Dark satanic mills... Atmospheric shot, I like the angle of the clouds against the architectural perspective.

I really love the atmosphere of this shot - I couldn't help but notice the three blobs above the building - The sky is really nice, adds to the atmosphere Smile
