Slow photos from a derelict mill site
As in this related, but different, post, I recently loitered at the abandoned KFP saw mill site in Nelson. On this occasion, I had the right conditions to make daylight long exposures. The photos were shot over three visits and when I left the last time, I realized that this is the type of place where I could spend many more hours discovering new compositions and exploring varied lighting conditions. I hope to get back to do that…






Workshop: I will be teaching a long exposure workshop at LĂºz Studios in October.

I really like the graphic quality of the imagery and the way the long exposures filter out busy details, allowing the lines and shapes to dominate. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks Robin.
The longer I make these types of photos, I believe that I am moving toward more and more abstract compositions. I like the flatness of the images.
