I stumbled upon the New Martinsville Grocery Co-op as I was trying to find a back way out to the main road. I am hoping I will be able to get in? Some guy stopped and said he was a fire fighter and had been in the building a few times. He said it was very interesting. I will beg and plead. 1.  _MG_9136m by mariehass, on Flickr 2.  _MG_9135m by mariehass, on Flickr 3.  _MG_9138m by mariehass, on Flickr 4.  _MG_9139m by mariehass, on Flickr 5.  _MG_9140m by mariehass, on Flickr Thanking you for looking and commenting, 'Rie |

Wow! I love subjects like this, Marie. You're one lucky lady. Negotiate your way to be able to take shots on the inside and make a small semi documentary about the building through your image and story-telling.
#1 is too tight on the composition. Use a wider angled lens to establish your first shot. That would set the mood for the succeeding images.
#2, 3 and 4 are all interesting details. Change your lens to a probably 35mm on a FF? Each lens has a character so by using a little bit more wide angled lens then move closer, you will get that nice extra perspective and depth on the details. Going on a zoomed length of say 105mm and above compresses the elements and you lose the extra layering. Nice perspective on #5. I would keep it in color and show that nice late afternoon light creeping over the metal tracks. More, Marie... More!

Great find, Marie! I too would like to see more. I could spend a lot of time just exploring the potential of those doors...

Willie, let me get my trusty dusty 18-55 kit lens and see what I can do. Modern New Martinsville has encroached on the turf, so it was tight quarters, shooting. The first image was shot at 24mm, as low as my 24-105 would do. 18mm might just get that perspective you are referring to.  _MG_9140m2 by mariehass, on Flickr Janis, I think one of my favorite pastimes is exploring old stuff, and imagining what it was like in its prime. For example, I love pictorial histories with a passion. 'Rie |

That could make a geat subject for a photo essay Rie. The light is a bit harsh in these but I know you only just stumbled upon it so you can pick a better time to go back.
It looks like a great place for an edgy potrait shoot too.
I hope you manage to get inside.

Looks like an interesting place. I'd love to see more, shot under dark and moody light. Sun is great, eh, but can be the bane of a photog's life.

Hi Kit,
You are right. Light was late afternoon, direct on. So, east/west exposure.
Lighting would have to be a nasty street light. Is nothing romantic there. I would definitely be pulling sliders all over the place.
On the other hand, wouldn't it be cool to do some light painting? I would have the police there in 3 seconds, I think. Come earlier evenings later this fall, I just might give it a go, though.

The way I was visualising it was on a stormy or rainy day, when there is no direct light, but a more even light. What about that?  |

Full moon light...long exposure.
