Dawn of a new day

True colors 02
Date: 7-12-2008
Location: Abandoned factory near Milan
Equipment used: Nikon D80, Tokina 12-24mm, Manfrotto tripod.
Same exploration of the previous post, this shot is perfect to show the atmosphere and the vastity of the place.
A bit of a haze can be seen in the distance, in my opinion that gave to the shot a more dramatic appearance, the perspective and the wideangle did the rest.
Hope you like it.

I found extreme beauty in that place, hope you can appreciate it … the weather was fine, the scenography perfect, with the light filtering through the ceiling and the nature growing again.

Painted with shadows

True colors 02




Model: Beatrice
Equipment used: Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-135mm, natural light
Same session of the previous post, but this is a more emotive portrait in my opinion … the shot is how it comes out from the camera, only converted it in b&w.

It has been a long time since I last met her … I miss her and the funny shootings we had.
