June 1st

Now I know why there were Chinese symbols !!!! The movie transformers II is being shot at the old Bethlehem Steel works. The setting is a futuristic Chinese city and this is the opening scene. The shooting beings Monday June 2nd.

My thought is to get there before the shooting starts on Monday and get some great captures. I got at the steel works about 5am. The parking lot was filled with vehicles and trucks. Not a good sign. I was greeted by the security guard and said I was going to take a few shots. He said that's is exactly why I am here. To stop you from doing that. I left the area and began my strategy ;)

I decided to park in an area adjacent to the railroad tracks and follow them. I was able to get some nice shots of the sunrise and the sun beaming off the steel structure.

I starting to think of an alternative view. Maybe the railroad tracks on the other side of the Steel works. No luck finding easy access so I crossed the Stefo bridge. I notice an opening crossing the bridge and decided to check it out. Sure enough there were steps to the bottom of the Bike Path.
WOW some excellent views of the Steel Works across the Lehigh River. The movie company set up 4 or 5 banks of lights and had security set up. Fortunately they did not give me any trouble. I was able to get some nice captures before the sun was too high in the sky.
