ISO: 50
Shutter: 4 seconds

 Taken on the last day of the month in the furnace room of the production company where I work using my co-worker's G5 because my G3 was at home. We took turns taking photos and holding the flashlights. this was exposed using two flashlights in a pretty much fully dark room. It was a lot of fun!

The pipes got a tad overexposed in places, but i think it looks ok. i had to crop to kill some major overexposure on the right side of the white pipe. other than that, a quick smidge of a rotate, a little brightness and contrast to taste and some unsharp mask and it was good to go.

Keep the waters flowing. This shot is ingenious, show as it does, the rusing pipes, and the cladded(?) ones. A rather bleak basement shot but a good one

I would have preferred more focus on the stop cock or valve. There are some interesting textures here, which could have been emphasised by a tighter crop

Might of been better if you could of controlled that harsh light. It takes away from the good parts of the shot.

I love the mood. Very simple. However, part of it may be overexposed, watch the exposure settings.
