Overhead Crane

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 15 May 2008 in Business & Industry and Portfolio.

A massive overhead crane in an old steelworks near Sheffield now converted into a museum.

This is the kind of distortion you get if you point an extreme wide angle lens upward. Still, I thought in this case the distortion added something to the photo. What do you think?

Thanks to all those of you who've been voting for me at VFXY Photos (see link below)...this photoblog has been steadily heading up their ranking system over recent months and finally got into the Top 20!

I'm not sure that I deserve to be in such exalted company as 'Chromasia' and 'Absolutely Nothing' - my two favourite UK Photoblogs, but I'm not complaining!

Thanks again for your support. I really appreciate the vote of confidence!

Hugo Poon records his home city Hong Kong in photographs so beautiful that they inspired me to start taking my own photos. Deeply humanist in his vision, Hugo claims that he is not a photographer. Why not visit his photoblog and decide for yourself.
