Iron Ore Car
I went to the Hudson Mohawk Industrial Gateway’s Burden Iron Works museum. This was my first field activity sponsored by the Capital Region Photography Meetup Group.
This image is one of several artifacts on the grounds of the iron works – circa 1860. The Burden Iron Works is in Troy, NY and was once the site of the biggest iron works in the US.
Burden Iron Works HQ
The building here is the Burden Iron Works headquarters. It is being restored but the interior is merely an “attic” collection of many industries of Troy’s once busy past.
The first image was not created as an HDR (in case you were wondering). I used only LR3 to create the image as I saw it. The light was very contrasty. I did try several HDR images and they turned out OK. The second image was converted to black and white in LR3, as well. I have uploaded other images to my photo gallery from the outing.
