For a shoot I spend some more time in jail! This time in Parramatta. I manage to grab a few minutes here and there to take some shots.

Pour un tournage je me retrouve à passer un peu plus de temps en prison! Cette fois a Parramatta. J’arrive à gratter quelques minutes ici et là pour prendre quelques photos.

A revisit to an old friend of mine. An abandoned quarry with its water flooded open sky hole. From the color of it, and the fact that all vegetation just around it is dead, it looks like something not really kosher has been dumped there… Makes for a good post apocalyptic scenery if you ask me.
Here is the full gallery.
Un retour dans un lieu que je connais bien. Une carrière abandonnée, avec son trou a ciel ouvert inondé. A voir sa couleur, et le fait que toute végétation a proximité est morte, il semblerait que quelque chose pas très orthodoxe y a été jeté…Cela dit;. ça donne un bon paysage post apocalyptique !

Today, with a friend we decided to have a look at an abandoned factory. Alas, it changed quite a lot recently as it will be soon demolish. No more electricity. Most windows and doors have been boarded up, limiting the amount of light available for photos. Oh well… Such is life.
After a short time spent there, not gaining access to as much of the buildings of the site as we wanted, we decided to give another site a go. While it was not amazing, it was still a nice stroll, and gave us a few photos opportunity.

Aujourd’hui, avec un pote on a décidé d’aller jeter un œil a une usine abandonnée. Hélas, le site a beaucoup changé dernièrement, en préparation pour son imminente démolition. Plus d’électricité. La plupart des portes et fenêtres sont bloquées, limitant la quantité de lumière disponible pour prendre des photos. Triste… Mais c’est la vie.
Après une visite plutôt courte, n’ayant pas réussi à entrer dans la plupart des bâtiments du site, on décide d’aller voir une autre usine. Et bien que pas épatant, c’était tout de même une balade sympathique, avec quelques bonnes opportunités pour des photos.

A hot summer day. I decide to get on the road in the early hours of the morning to try to avoid most of the heat.
I was on location before 9. Didn’t change much, it was already turning into a very hot Australian summer day.
This place is full of details for those who take the time to look for them. Details of objects, textures, lines…
And so armed with 3 cameras (Canon 7D, Sony A7S and my old Yashica Medium Format) I attempted to capture what fascinated me there.
Remember? WISIWYG!

The other day I saw on Instagram a picture of a mural that I quite liked. I knew exactly where it was, and thought this place was due for a revisit.
And so I headed out, with my cameras and my tripod.
The place was much more trashed than the last time I was there. But the mural was worth it.
The grounds surrounding the derelict buildings are worth it by themselves. On this perfect day, with a bit of cloud coverage to give some texture, I spent almost more time going around the pond, with its beautiful water lilies, enjoying the various blooming flowers and the amazing oaks than going through the buildings in quest of a nice shot.
When I was done there, I met with a friend who showed me some very nice old steam trains, and the green of the plants trying to reclaim them is a perfect match for the rust of their bodies.
Here is the link to the gallery of my picture from that day.
