More With The Nikon D200

These are all done with auto focus. ISO settings for the outdoor pics are high because it was very cloudy and overcast-- not much light and I didn't want to use flash.

 

Experimenting With A New Camera: Nikon D200

Industrial Lubbock is on hold for a while, while I conduct experiments with a new camera. It is much more sophisticated than any I have used before, but it seems to take better pictures. It'll take some getting used to...

All of these pictures have been reduced in size greatly, to make it practical to post them here.

It is easy to change ISO values and you've got a wide range available. That's mostly what I've been working on, as well as telephoto.

 

Continuing Lubbock Industry

Pretty soon we're going to get to the place that had all the ribbon wire and the elaborate fire protection and the security cameras and floodlights.

 And here it is. I'd like to know what they've got behind all that security. I'd at least like to know whether anything in there poses a danger to the community. I have a RIGHT to know. YOU have a RIGHT to know such things. 

 I'll have a lot more pics of this "mystery" industrial site in future installments. I'm debating with myself about providing its location. It's within the city limits and not all that far from some major roads and the downtown area.

Looking At Lubbock Industry

Lubbock always has strong employment and a diversified economy. If anything kills Lubbock it'll be aquifer depletion, and that looks to be unavoidable. We just don't know when that will be exactly. Sooner rather than later, I would think, because of the relentless building boom. The wells we depend on WILL go dry. And that will put a stop to Lubbock, as well as Lamesa, Tahoka, Spur, Brownfield, and many other towns in Texas. 

Some of these warehouses appear to be abandoned, like many Lubbock homes.

 

It's Time For More Lubbock Industry

At least, there are a lot of  places here for people to work, unlike many of the very small towns around here, where you have to wonder how people survive.

 I'm reminded of an old Lou Reed album...

 Rest awhile. Set a spell.

 Just make yourself at home.

Lubbock has many warehouses.
