velvia 100, 305mm g claron. los angeles river.
Nice pic Vinny. I was scouting some LA rivers yesterday.
Nice. I lived in LA in the mid 1980s. I wanted to do a series called "The rivers and streams of LA" but life got in the way. Those concrete drainage ditches have so many photographic posibilites. I've loved them since I saw "Them" as a kid.
I'm curious ... in light of the recent "cityscapes" thread, do any of you make a distinction between a cityscape and an urban landscape?
Tough call. One definition is;
"A cityscape is the urban equivalent of a landscape."

Great photograph Vinny. You may want to read up on the river's history. The whole city was founded around it, but for a century it has been essentially pumped dry to supply a portion of LA's water supply. The water entering it now is effluent from water treatment stations.
Great images everyone... :)
An image from the past...

Very cool, Harry!
Harry, exceptional shot.
That does indeed look amazing! Just one thing... Is that your camera's bed in the foreground? ;)
Reminds me of one of my favourite photographers, Greg Girard. Wonderful shot.
Fabulous. Ethereal, I suppose...
Very hard to follow Harry's gorgeous and disturbing image, but somebody's got to do it.
Not far from here this bridge crosses a stream. The small lake it feeds is popular in the summer. If I'm in the mood for a few 4x5 frames, but don't have time for an expedition up the mountain, this park is a good place to head for.
I'm experimenting with the trial pack of paper that B&S sent. This is Cranes Diploma. Doesn't hold a candle to Cot 320. Na2/palladium print
Urban Landscapes, that's all photography is about for me. So keep posting and inspire!

Welcome Thomas. But you're fooling no one here - THAT's not Berlin! You don't have ocean liners there. :confused:
That is Hong Kong,
unfortunately Berlin is not that urban at all.

Here is a shot I did because this scene is likely to disappear as the city grows up, and in-filling is preferred over sprawl. 50 or more years ago this group of small houses was available for abalone fishermen to rent during the season. The rents, I'm told were $16.00 a month. Less than 40 years ago (but still decades ago) it was affectionately known as hippy hollow for the cheap rents. Then there was a fire, and they've been vacant ever since. Now I suspect they are just waiting for the bulldozer.

Great image Ed. Where on Magazine Street is that?
I would guess about 20 blocks up-river from the Blue Moon area. The 65mm and waiting for a moment without traffic makes it look like a wide blvd - you would be hard pressed to recognize the corner just going down the street. I wanted to capture the look of a more relaxed time.
Nice Ed, great light, well seen.

Another shot from the same location. Odd that this one seems to have a warmer tone. I guess I need more practice scanning B&W negatives.

Since I needed the practice...
Looks like a cooler tone again. I'm not sure why that's happening.
This is the last one. I promise.

Mark, Great series from the DAM/Library. The color on the library building is great though. Shame to loose that color.

long exposure of the Ravenswood power plant as seen looking east from Roosevelt Island.
This is the largest power plant in all of New York State. It used to be part of New York's ConEdison before generation was deregulated and the plant was sold off to Keyspan and then TransCanada. It's located in Long Island City just east of Roosevelt Island and is one of the primary sources of electrical generation for Manhattan with a nameplate capacity of about 2 gigawatts.
It has 4 primary gas fired generators and a number of smaller secondary gas fired generators. The 4 big boys are monstrous. The largest being the 1 gigawatt "Big Allis" or Generator 30 (named after the manufacturer Allis Chalmers). It has two sisters, Generators 10 & 20. All 3 are single cycle gas fired generators. Natural gas is burned, it heats up an air/water mixture, the pressurized steam drives the rotation of a magnet, and this creates electricity.
Smoke stacks from left to right are 40 (not shown), 30, 20, 10. You can see a massive conveyor belt complex in front that goes off the frame, that used to transport coal from river barges when it was first built. The plant upgraded to burning relatively clean natural gas in the 60s. The coal apparatus remains.
