The E.B. Bain Water Treatment Plant in Raleigh, NC

The Bain Project

Wandering through the Bain Water Treatment Plant experiencing the Bain Project was exceptionally cool. I lived on the edge and went hand held, opting to leave the tripod in the trunk. It turned out to be a good move since the lighting was pretty good (in most areas of the plant) and I was able to maneuver better and cover more ground without it. I was able to get away with an ISO setting of 200 at f/4.0 and a shutter speed ranging from 1/4 to 1/20 of a second. Fortunately, there were no shortage of things to brace myself against when I took my photos, so they turned out to be damn near tripod quality (patting myself on the back for getting quality RAWs indoors and hand held using a long shutter speed).

I have no idea what kind of equipment I’ve captured in this one. If anyone out there is familiar with it, I’d love to know what you think. There’s nothing exceptional about the composition here. It’s the colors and contrast that make me love how this one turned out.
