Urban Dereliction

One of my hobbies is exploring abandonded / derelict building - for some reason 'urban exploration' as its called fascinates me.

Here are a few of my photos

all comments welcome



Closed Thread Mill - framed in a frame



The broken window



Abandoned hospital theatre



Abandoned prison, keys!

All taken with my trusty Pentax K100D and 18-55mm lens

no 2 holds my attention span the most, I think because I am wondering what is beyond and in front of the window, has good atmosphere, and I like the shadows on the white wall,
no 3 is kinda spooky - but there you have a reaction,
no 4 I find has too many distracting colours and shape ... I think it wd look better in mono and trim the right black line,
don't like no 1

hope this is of help

Lilly

thank you for your honesty

points duely noted

No2 is my choice as it throws up questions.
No3 is a little spooky and given some background info it helps the composition.
No1 I like but it doesn't have the power of the others.
No3 would be better with the top third cropped out as it competes for attention because it is brighter and so dilutes the forground.
Nice shots overall.

They leave the power on to abandoned hospital theatres?

:

Nice shots though

No1 reminds me of a hospital I used to work in.
no2 I like
no3 has atmosphere
No4 take the marble block home & stand a pot on it, Close in on the keys & experiment with lighting & viewpoint, flash & reflector(s) use B&W, thers a creepy drama pic there somewhere,(imo)
