more dilapidated buildings @grantville (nikon d70)

A little bird told me the state of affairs in Grantville would be improving. So I packed my Nikon D70 and raced back down to get some more sweet flicks of decay.

Setting up a shot of the crumbling wall of a former cotton warehouse was a pain in my ass. The full light of the setting sun falling on the warehouse wall in the background was fucking up my program, because the brick in the foreground was in shadow. I set up one Nikon SB-800 Speedlight as a remote firing at the bricks, which worked well. Explore the rest of the cotton warehouse.

Across the street, I found an old hotel and took this photograph of an old window on the building's porch. I took another shot of the interior of the old hotel. Based on the lumber and tools strewn about inside the old hotel, at least one attempt at renovation has been started.

Down the street from the old hotel is a former bank. Remembering Ken from Lithonia's advice to look up, I took this photograph of a bank. I liked the results, hence this similar bank flick. Finally, I decided to get a bit of sky in this last shot of a bank in Grantville, Georgia.

All photographs featured in this post were taken with a Nikon D70. The lens used for the bank flicks was a Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 with a circular polarizer.

office space @lithonia (nikon d70)

I rolled out to Lithonia, Georgia, a second time in the morning to photograph the other side of the street. Right in the middle of taking a photograph of Team Sports, an enormous angry black woman the size of Canada got all up in my grill and asked what I was doing. I ignored her punk ass, finished taking the shot and walked away.

Prior to being accosted by the belligerent woman, I took a photograph of office space, and a picture of a potentially tasty eatery. Because Shazaam was closed at the time and I haven't been back since, I have no idea if it actually is tasty.

All shots referenced in this post taken with a Nikon D70 and a 28-70mm f/2.8 constant aperture zoom.
