Visisted this site last year.
It closed down in 2002 due to the company loosing money, however it has not been demolished yet as there are rumours of it being contaminated with chemicals. A word of warning though this site is used as a police dog training site somtimes so i wouldnt advise people go urbexing.

constructive c&c welcome

it seems as though workers just walked out one day, as there are open newspapers left out in the offices etc aswell as post cards and memos..
very strange

Nice location! Cool shots.

As far as constructive criticism, the only real 'problem' that I see is with the second shot, the right side, with the paper roll is blown out, no detail at all in the paper. Try stopping it down (if you go back), or try HDR.

The rest is just my opinions.

I am very sensitive to level and alignment in architectural shots. The 3rd shot is slightly off level and the camera is pointed to the left. The shot is very symmetrical, so the slight tilting is more obvious.

Compositionally, I keep looking around the space, and while it looks like a cool place, photographically I would like something that stands out as a point of interest. The paper roll does a good job of that.

Keep exploring! :-)

I say you go and get that roll of paper and share for everyone on POTN's little home studios, haha.

Are you developing a rash now from being in that place?
