Photo Project 24 #2 – Geothermal Plant

The second image from Photo Project 24 is an early morning shot of a geothermal power plant. To get a good silhouette, the team exposed the scene for the sky in the background. Since the background was much brighter than the camera side of the building, the building turns out completely black. If you zoom in you will see it is a rather open building so you can see the background coming through it as well as some lights on the building. Even though a slow shutter speed was needed to capture the sky, too long of a shutter would have lost detail in the steam. For more information about the shot, visit:
