Henley's

After photographing the chimney demolition yesterday I photographed the old Henley cable factory that is also being demolished.

Northfleet Chimneys demolition.

The old Blue Circle chimneys came down this morning.

Early Morning Light

We had a glimpse of sun before I was into work this morning. I also had my camera so I got some images.

Cement Silos

The Northfleet silos are almost gone now.

From the weekend.

After a day in work I was out to the the art group meeting in Sevenoakes. Two interesting speakers plus the submission of the form for the selling exhibition. 

This has left very little time for shooting today, so a picture from the weekend is called for. 

I had a visit to a favourite site that will soon be gone. The old cement silos at the Blue Circle site at Northfleet are in the final stages of demolition. Two have gone with the rest gone over the next few days. I also had a look out over the rest of the site but all that is left are the long rotary ovens and the two chimneys that have dominated the are for so many years.

Monochrome

I have been asked if I ever do monochrome? Well in a way yes, but not in the sense of how the question was being asked. If you are looking for classic B+W prints, deep blacks, lustrous whites and a balanced set of tones between then you will be disappointed. If you are looking for images with a limited colour pallet then I can do that. 

All these images were taken today near the Northfleet cement works. The silos are about to come down. The demolition has already started on the other side of them, and the air is damp from the dust supression sprays. 

The colours are 'as life' with just a slight tweak to colour balance to warm the images slightly.
