Yes, more new Edgelands images, although the first is an opportunistic shot at the tail end of the shoot for the day.
Everything on this site is re-cycled or processed to the point of limiting what goes off site.
On each visit in the afternoon or early evening I have witnessed the sights and ominous sounds of Apaches heading back to base. It was whilst seeing this image that I heard that deep throb of Apache engines scurrying through the sky and the title sprang to mind ‘Blue on Blue’ – a phrase I had not really heard until the first Gulf war. Given the history of this site during WWII, and the proximity to an active base, I wonder how many casualties of war that were processed through here were the result of blue on blue? I’ve yet to show this negative to the S3400. When I do I expect more detail at the base of the skip to be revealed.
Now, visiting the same space at different times of day and from different vantage points gives a whole new context to the space. In this next image, which could be from the mid-West but in fact it is Mid-Suffolk, I am normally stationed near the sub-station (sic) to capture the first rays of light on the silos and chimneys. Looking the other way is something I normally do when checking for the position or expected position of the rising sun. This is something different and is a big feature of my reconnaissance of locations for Edgelands subject matter. I walked about five and half miles around the site on the afternoon that I took these images and the only zooming tools I had were my feet. All the images shot during this shoot were made using the 50mm wide angle lens for the Zenza Bronica SQAi. Prime lenses are the only way to go with work like this.
