How do I take good pictures of a large building being knocked down? I tried today but I can take more pics tomorrow as it wasn't done today. They have a wrecking ball and everything.
I can't get an angle better than this although I can zoom in pretty good. I don't have any separate lenses or filters. There's a lot of dust clouds too.

Another pic
What can I do to take a better photo of this? What can I do in photoshop to improve it? I've always taken nature photos so this is very different for me.

Nope, I'm not anywhere near good enough yet to be paid to photograph anything. I'm just trying to be artistic.
I thought it was a cool subject...

examples of photography with a subject like this would be appreciated

with newer buildings which have a lot of rebar in them, the twisted shapes of the bar amongst the roughness of the concrete can work well in B+W. fosus mainly on the texture and the form of the bent rebar. In PS, high contrast works quite well.

Pic is mine, but very poor (was limited to one window and one lens)
