For industrial subjects especially, I usually end up preferring the most straightforward and boring perspective I can find that just lets the subject speak for itself. The masters of this approach were Bernd and Hilla Becher, whose "Basic Forms" work richly repays your attention if you like this kind of stuff. https://www.sfmoma.org/artist/Bernd_and_Hilla_Becher/
(They would have undoubtedly waited for an overcast day to shoot Big Allis, but I liked the clouds.)
@mattblaze@federate.social That's currently a 404 link.
@NeadReport@vivaldi.net Hm, I'm seeing the page when I clock on it. No idea why you aren't.
@mattblaze@federate.social Yeah, see @todwest@beige.party reply above. That was the fix --> click the link not the 'preview link' (which didn't work). No worries.
@NeadReport@vivaldi.net @todwest@beige.party Interesting. Yeah, I just saw that. But when I click either the preview or the inline link, it works for me. Must be something to do with instance-specific preview generation, making this sort of stuff very hard to debug!
@mattblaze@federate.social @todwest@beige.party I think you are correct in how the link is processed per-instance. Not something you would need to debug. Just another side note as we traverse the Mastodoniverse!
