I was at an Old Mental Asylum / Prison on the weekend. The place is so huge, Over 63 different buildings. Hopefully I can go back one day and get photos, Because I hardly got any time to take some shots.

Love the shots, but in particular, #1.
The angles with that composition work just right - great work.

Thanks Deckham
I was pretty annoyed at my photos because I haven't really got anything worth posting

Wow, what incredibly cool shots. I love all of them except #2. Both exterior shots are good with the different PP, although #3 seems a bit blown out, and #4 seems a tiny bit dark. I think #1 is the best of the series. But, overall, reaaly neat shots.

I must disagree, these captures are excellent, and the PP done on them really drives home the gloom. #2 is powerful, somehow I think of someone huddled the corner there. Perhaps someone actually did in the past...

QUOTED IMAGE


How exactly do you get tone like that in your pictures? I've been trying to figure it out for ages.

I'm with Pio. I'd love to see more pictures.

It's a HDR. It actually looked a bit different in photomatrix pro then when I saved it, it came out looking not as good..hmm

I like em too Chains. The last one being my favorite. I noticed that it was a little crooked so i thought I'd straighten it up, then I mucked around with it a tad more. I hope you dont mind.
