Heath OFeeAnother barren scene from the Salton Sea series. This abandoned bait shop/snack shack is right next to the T-bar from yesterday’s image. It was relatively boring inside, but did afford a couple neat urbex type shots which I’ll share a bit later. For now, I wanted to continue with the empty, vintage look from yesterday (that will be the theme for at least a few more days) and thought this image fit the bill nicely.
This series is a bit of an experiment for me. I’ll be using single images (no HDR) and I’ll be emphasizing simple compositions that lend themselves to a desolate feel. Please feel free to let me know if you think this works or not, I’m open to feedback.
Dude. I am in LOVE with this look you have been showing off on these images. Fits the scene perfectly. Just awesome.
It works. I love your eye on these last two shots…well done Heath.
Damn! This.is.great
I think this works a treat and the vintage toning definitely makes you think of being away on hols in the seventies. Cool!
Love the aging Kodacolor feel – it really fits this kind of scene very nicely.
Another vote for “It WoRkS!”
Good stuff! You definitely get the desolate feeling of the area. Nicely done!
I’m definitely intrigued by it Heath. You went to what looks like a visually boring location for the most part, and pulled off two great shots so far. The vintage processing is great too. Keep it up brotha
nice job Heath. Somehow all that empty space fits the mood of this one – or maybe sets the right mood. I like it.
Spot on brother!
Ya man, you’re really nailing the composition/processing. Love it!
It works with aplomb Heath! It works very very well. I am loving this series and can’t wait to see more my friend.
Wow…thanks so much for the support and kind words, everyone! I’m having a great time processing these shots, so your positive feedback means a great deal. Stay tuned for more to come!
That’s a really nice image, the balance of sky and sand is great, the raked sand in the middle third works well to break up the image. you’ve captured the mononity well.
