Ladies and Gentlemen,


You can see how the modern buildings are growing and displacing the older and traditional city architecture.

San Miguel de Tucumán has a population (today) of 800,000 citizens.

The church is “El Sagrado Corazón” (Sacré-Coeur) and it is one of the most aristocratic high schools of Tucumán, conducted by “Lourdist” priests..

This monster stopped his engines 39 years ago, and never started again! Died together with other 16 ingenios of Tucumán in the past 1968´s.




The ex Ingenio San Pablo as is today.
(image date: 13-NOV-2007).


Best regards.

This image is from today (12-NOV-2007). I think I am a little closer to the goal.




You can see in the chimney leftmost side a preoccupying long fissure. Can you see?


Best regards.

First at all, thanks for find my glasses.

Yes, the red shirt worker is the scale reference, but I found him later in the PP.

It is also possible to see at the top of chimney the commented “focal plane shutter aberration” https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5912&sid=507371c342b026c27f... If you measure the circle will see an oval-shaped one. Curiously the other lower circles (evaporators) are not affected because of the difference of altitude to the airplane (the relative speed with the aircraft are slightly different). The image was taken at about 400 feet above the ground and the chimney height more or less 130 feet.

Best regards.

Past monday the Ingenio Concepción (sugar industry) finished with the annual “Zafra”, beginning in this way a 6 month industrial recess. The gigantic boilers stopped snorting steam and the thunder machines quietened.




Tried shot in the middle of chimney, but this was the most nearest I could get.

You have a good photographic eye. Whit this, and your new baby (K10D) you have the 95% for the photographic success in hands. The other 5% is dedication and perseverance (perhaps the most difficult)…

I like your images, but for critics and comments it is preferable upload one or two by time, and if possible in a size of 800/1000 pixels wide. For do an honest critique is necessary time.

I am sure you will find in this forum the best for guide you whit the left over 5%...


Best regards.

Congratulations Lilly, You broke with courage and decision the myth of the nude photography in the forum!

I strongly believe in the nude photography as another way to express art by means of the beauty of human body.

For me, in the sort time I am in the forum (4 months), was convinced that aboard the nude theme here, was a kind of “not prudent” thing (I never show before something related to). Therefore what I supposed (could be mistake)…

“Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de glorie est arrivé!"

Nace photo Lilly! And well done!


Best regards.
