About
Although Oil refineries like this monster at Grangemouth are not everybody's idea of beauty I have to admit I was very taken with the effect of cross over lighting at twilight and the tungsten, fluorescent and mercury vapour lamps festooning the pipe work. The velvia and the required long exposure added additional colour through the effects of reciprocity failure. Hope you enjoy, the colours are very accurate but quite subtle. Please do take a look at my website at www.transientlight.co.uk
Ian, for two years I worked in the research labs of a complex like that at Billinghan. I wasn't taking photographs at the time, and now wish I had been. You have captured this complex looking its best, I'm sure. Quite beautiful in its own way!
