The Chair

[vmlopes]

Taken at another derelict lunatic asylum in the uk.

Was hoping to capture a dark moody atmosphere yet highlight slightly the comode.

Somehow I think it's very nice and am creeped out by it at the same time.

[Didache]

Very creepy indeed! You have also managed to keep the light from the window under control - that could very easily have been burned out more than it is. It all looks a tad soft, but that could be the resizing. Did you use a tripod? Where is this place?

Yeah tripod used, must be in the rezise as the original is sharp.........its in Epsom, Surrey

[Didache]

Ooh Epsom .. I live in Sutton. Not a million miles away.

Definitely creepy! I like the colors and composition, and as already mentioned, the lighting is really nice. The windows aren't blown out, yet the inside of the building is nicely lit as well.

[Hexnut]

Well done. Very stark and tells a slightly sinister story...

Another powerful image from this location and I agree that you did a great job not letting the light from the window overpower the shot.

Can you bring up a little detail and brightness in the right hand corner above the doorway? My eye keeps getting stuck in this location.

agree - creepy but overall delightful. (if that makes sense!!)

[gahspidy]

This is creepy, which I like anyway, and vey good overall. I like the composition and the subject including the interior of the room with its crumbling condition and bits of color scattered about.
You did a nice job in post processing to equalize and control the overall lighting.
Its a very fine shot of an eerie scene.

Congrats on the sticky.
I like this shot a lot but wish the chair weren't in such a dominant position in the frame.

[draymorton]

Terrific shot, as usual!

[vmlopes]

Thanks for all the comments fellas, and another sticky :blush2: what can I say..........

Did not realise so many of you appreciated this type of photography, I have a massive collection of shots from old asylums, more modern hospitals and industrial buildings, this is what I like taking photos of

Congrats on the sticky.

I can see where your coming from, but this was intentional as I wanted the focus on "The Chair"............well actually its a comode

[Fess67]

Is this processed much? Looks HDR, very nice HDR though

[vmlopes]

No HDR there, or on any of my shots

[draymorton]

Doesn't look HDR'd to me. Too good for that.
