Audio recordings

In the first posting on this subject I mentioned three techniques that in terms of conveying impressions go well beyond a single photo: panorama photography, aerial photography and videography. How could I miss to mention the fourth: audio recordings. One evening I sat in the harbor of a huge steel works, the very place itself most quiet, and rhythmic noise from a variety of sources all around me in its slow and steady pace mixed into a relaxing surround sound symphony. On the other end of the "industrial sounds spectrum", inside the housing of electric arc furnaces, you feel the noise as much as you hear it, most forceful, energetic, crude and deafening - intimidating, frightening to some, glorious to others. Could recordings of this be valuable to my project? Most certainly.

Regarding aerial photography, a local company has a demo gallery with some good examples of the aerial photography's specific language.
