cobbu2 Posted October 23, 2016 Share #4 Posted October 23, 2016 Well done. These places fascinate me; I'd love to photograph them myself if only there was one in close proximity. Alas, the closest steel mill to me (Sparrows Point, Baltimore) is gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP Posted April 1, 2017 Share #6 Posted April 1, 2017 If you like this stuff - which I do - you should find Blast Furnaces by Bernd and Hilla Becher. Some people find their work bland and sterile but I have almost almost all of their fascinating books which are amongst the more prized in my book collection. They have documented industrial architecture primarily of the first half of the 20th century. They are shot in technically perfect, beautiful, large format, black and white. MY favourite without doubt is Blast Furnaces, closely followed by Water Towers and Mineheads. Their books are now out of print but good 2nd hand versions are available (such as Abe's Books) typically priced in the hundreds of dollars and up to thousands for limited editions with 'bonus' prints. Well worth a look if you don't know their work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayD28 Posted April 2, 2017 Share #7 Posted April 2, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Teb, thanks for sharing this photo. We don't have steel mills here but there is an old railcar repair shop near the edge of town. All fenced off so I can't get close enough to capture the details. Your shot makes me want to climb the fence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
