Explosion

One of the things I enjoy about shooting urbex with other photographers is being able to look at their work afterwards and see the same locations that I've been to through their eyes. One of the side effects of doing that is occasionally getting an idea to try something new, something you've never tried to do.

Such was the case with this image from the abandoned Packard plant in Detroit. On a previous trip to Detroit, my friend !Bart took a photo that reminded me that under the right conditions, it's perfectly fine to have blown out highlights or pitch black shadows. At the end of the day, learning and growing is what this is all about, regardless how that process occurs.
