Great series, I like the composition and lighting on each of them. The second one is just so intriguing. Nice motion capture in the third.

Sorry for going a little nuts...this is easily one of my most favorite places on earth. It's located some distance west of Salt Lake City in the vast, desolate wasteland that is the West Desert. It used to be a Portland Cement factory (component of concrete), and there's also an abandoned gravel quarry about a mile north of it with 200 foot sheer rock faces and condors. Access to both spots is provided only by long dirt roads. On a warm day during sunset the place is truly spectacular...it's located on the eastern foothills of a valley running north-south. It's reminiscent of a secret villain's lair, and as such we christened it as "The Fortress".

Looking west from the quarry:

Impressive series. I like the texture in these photos, as well as the compositions. Thanks for sharing, welcome to the forum.

Good stuff man! The first ones reminded me of something you'd see on the shot "Lost".

YES!! Absolutely brilliant work all around! Some sent chills down my spine. Wonderful! :)

Couple peopley shots from inside...I promise, I'm done until I go back. I don't think I've done this place justice.
