Around the bend...

Around the bend…

We do not know what is around the bend, but the stark industrial setting and strange light (enhanced using HDR) attracted us.

And even though this is industry and not wood, it still reminded us about Robert Frost beautiful poem;

The Road Not Taken.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
and sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
and looked down one as far as I could
to where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
and having perhaps the better claim
because it was grassy and wanted wear;
though as for that, the passing there
had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
in leaves no feet had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference

Hva som er rundt svingen vet ikke vi, men det var noe med dette industrielle motivet og et merkelig lys (gjort enda merkeligere med HDR) som fikk oss til å ta bildet. Dessuten minnet det oss om Robert Frost vakre dikt “The Road Not Taken” – selv om dette er industri og ikke skog…

  3. Another great shot, the use of HDR is perfect for this!

  4. This scene looks like computer game.

    Gatiuss — November 29th, 2008 at 04:20

  5. realy great, like this kind of HDR, well done!

    Nicki — November 29th, 2008 at 04:22

  6. I really like this kind of HDR and it looks like a scene in a computer game as Gatiuss says :-)

  7. Wonderful composition and subject.

    Railways make for such wonderful subjects. I do love to wander around old railyards. We have a couple of old ones not too far from me where they restore old rail cars. I haven’t been to them in a while. You have given me an idea for today!

  8. I really like this shot, but it gives me a bit of an eerie feeling. Somehow I do associate it with WW2, mostly because of the tone and concrete setting.

    Dennis — November 29th, 2008 at 07:59

  9. i like the title.. you’ve captured this stark, gritty scene well.. nice shot.. :)

    Rian — November 29th, 2008 at 08:38

  10. Beautiful use of HDR. Perfect clouds for it too!

    Heather — November 29th, 2008 at 08:45

  11. Awful. A vertigo of desolation and death.
    Beautiful !

    Denis — November 29th, 2008 at 09:02

  12. Excellent details, you did a great job on the HDR process here, very nice. with dark clouds framing it in, almost like taken out of a videogame just before something bad is about to happen, very Cool! :) :)

    Ivar — November 29th, 2008 at 09:19

  13. I really like this shot,beautiful hdr! :)

    Rune — November 29th, 2008 at 09:59

  14. WOW jeg føler jeg blir dratt med i dragsuget og inn i bildet. Kjempebra bilde!

    Morten Pedersen — November 29th, 2008 at 12:25

  15. Beautiful image and does look very much like some dark times around the bend. Awesome work!

    Terry H. — November 29th, 2008 at 15:00

  16. Wow!! fabulous!! very graphic and an extraordinary processing too!! Great work!

    martineb — November 29th, 2008 at 15:26

  17. Very nice HDR shot, I like composition and perspective here!

    claude — November 29th, 2008 at 15:32

  18. Great shot. We are prisoner of rails… Nice frame and details!

    Polydactyle — November 29th, 2008 at 16:41

  19. Dette så akkurat ut som grafikk fra en scene til et PC spill :-)

    Objektiv-t — November 29th, 2008 at 16:47

  20. Fantastisk!
    God bruk av HDR, flott himmel, god komposisjon og flott tekstur.
    Hvis jeg tar frem pinsetten og virkelig går inn for å pirke: Vannmerket nederst i høyre hjørnet ødelegger inntrykket.

    Foretrekker dere forresten at jeg kommenterer på engelsk? Kan gjerne gjøre det.

  21. You’ve been so busy posting photos and I’ve been so lazy. This is a wonderfully done image. The sky looks like it might fall on to the tracks. You’ve made this place look very exciting!

    Michael Paulison — November 29th, 2008 at 23:25

  22. Shots like this show what HDR is capable of. The sky feels like a solid ceiling, enclosing the viewer in every direction. The only escape might be behind the bend, but who knows?

    Marcel — November 30th, 2008 at 05:05

  23. Lost track of you for a bit. Great processing. Excellent work with this image.

    Marc — November 30th, 2008 at 05:07

  24. Wow… imponerende, nesten “vondt” å se fordi det er så sterkt og mektig. Jeg liker den type bilder, der man ikke ser hvor veien ender. Dessuten er det et av mine favorittdikt… :)

    Lothiane — November 30th, 2008 at 05:45

  25. Very nice HDR image. Well done! And thanks for looking by my site.

    Farhad Towfighian — November 30th, 2008 at 05:54

  26. I am very much impressed with this image!

    Arjan - PlasticDaisy — November 30th, 2008 at 06:31

  27. Unrealistic. Like a beginner’s experiment with HDR. We think you can do better.

    Jackson — November 30th, 2008 at 07:11

  28. Like the idea, makes me wonder about what’s round the bend:)

    skinke — November 30th, 2008 at 09:58

  29. Even if it feels a little flat, then the clouds are just amazing to look at!

    Claus — November 30th, 2008 at 13:30

  30. Excellent lines and perspective. Like the effect of the dramatic sky overhead.

    Sean — November 30th, 2008 at 14:20

  31. Wow!! Great picture, great angle, and terrific HDR.

    Congratulations

    Alejandro — November 30th, 2008 at 21:35

  32. That’ a beautiful image, wonderfully composed

    Thomas — December 1st, 2008 at 03:53

  33. Wow! The Mad Max character will appear at the end of the corner. Bravo! F&S fan…

    Doum — December 1st, 2008 at 10:49

  34. Spennende bilde på mange måter, men det som tiltalte meg aller mest var himmelen. Den var dramatisk, den! Artig effekt dere får fram med HDR-bildene deres Får meg til å tenke på dataspill. SYns dere har fått mye ut av et miljø som i utgangspunktet kan være blindsone for fotografer. Dere er gode med slikt!

    Ståle — December 1st, 2008 at 13:36

  35. This HDR is really well done… maybe because it’s not so obvious. It’s a really nice shot!

    Averi — December 2nd, 2008 at 14:53

  36. Wonderful capture!
    Great scene and what an impressive sky =)

    Tim Corbeel — December 2nd, 2008 at 19:48

  37. Det er kun en ting å si: Fantastisk!!!

    Lordofwar — December 4th, 2008 at 14:14

  38. Great HDR processing and scenery.

    alex — December 9th, 2008 at 05:12

  39. Great hdr, love the perspective, the colours and this impressive sky. Looks like a scene of a computer game …

    Wolfgang — December 11th, 2008 at 11:55

  40. mesmerizing HDR… it’s just amazing… perfect…
