I went to the Packard Plant in Detroit a few days ago. I took one of my friends there because she just moved to the metro city. Its crazy. It used to be a high end car plant in the 60's... and now it a just a bunch of concrete. Its sad. This is what it looked like before

did you edit the pics at all? they're pretty well composed and stuff, but you could edit colors and such to make em' look better. i kinda like the dark, grungy look for them though.

also, dog picture was a bit graphic. i hope you were using a zoom lens for that hahah.

I color corrected them and then spilt toned them yellow and blue to make it feel older. The dog, I used a 85mm lens. I was about 3ft away :(

yay for detroit! 

but the pictures are devestating. the only nice part of the city of detroit is by Comerica Park (where the Tigers play baseball). everything else is super sketchy.

Gran Turino was based in Detroit...

haha i'd assume they're edited, the 5D is impressive but i don't think it could take unedited pics that look like those

either way sick pics, 85mm on a full frame near that dog must've sucked for you
