abandoned factory
This abandoned workshop had existed in Anshan, Liaoning Province, Northeast China. The area used to be the most important heavy industry base of the country. Since late 1990s, a huge number of state-owned factories were going bankrupt one bye one due to global structural changes.
The photo was taken in February 2004 and the workshop was knocked down in 2005.

Nice fucking shot! Did you take this with a digital camera? If so what settings did you use? The magazine photos, are you a professional photographer?

Very impressive light.

you must took a risk of taking in some dust to get the shot, 'cause it's impossible to shoot so beautiful light beams without them:)

Really stunning image - Your use of exposure is beautifully controlled and the framing perfect - I also really appreciate the "background" information about the image. BRAVO
