The third week of #challengeyourcamera, this week the challenge theme is #industrial. Ancient or modern we are all close to something manufactured, a factory, a railway, working or abandoned. Take a look around, what can you find that fits the bill? In England we have a great deal of heritage from the Industrial Revolution and these have made fantastic opportunities for photography, often best seen in monochrome and darkened light if indoors. Here’s a few of my own examples which will hopefully inspire you to have a go at the challenge:

Britain has some marvellous industrial heritage. Mills and mines make really interesting photography subjects.

Yes, heritage is the right word for it. We have paid many visits to industrial museums mostly in the Midlands and North of England. My first main job when I left school, before I had any sense and went to university, was in a small ironworks ….. noisy, smelly, but very exciting. I worked for British Steel for 13 years! Most of my ancestors were Cornish miners, tin and copper. Recently we travelled 120 miles up to Sheffield just to photograph the last surviving Bessemer Furnace in England, thankfully preserved.

There is an area in South Australia where copper was mined and the first miners were all from Cornwall. They still have a Kernwek Lowender there every two years. I met my husband at one.

Good challenge, plus I like the way you answered. Love the close-ups in B/W … But there is something about the last photo that captures my attention.

Thanks Frank, the last photo was difficult in the early evening light, where to focus was the problem, I eventually aimed at the footpath!

Yes, a proper challenge. Mine were a bit extreme as I didn’t want to give any easy clues. They were also “old” industrial which isn’t absolutely necessary. They were also away from my home also not necessary …. enough clues?

Absolutely, I have made my selection based on my interpretation of the challenge. You’ll have to wait until Thursday.
