good project but really over contrasty
you can get some detail in situations like this if you use a tripod, a few shots at +/- exposure and then process on an hdr programme
cheers
geof
I was using a tripod. Generally my style has a lot of darkness which probably isn't to everyone's taste. On my monitor they don't look too dark but it might be of a dodgy calibration.
These are fantastically atmospheric, the relatively high contrast works well in the situation, there are some good mid-tones, are the blacks in control? The uncalibrated monitor I am using this evening veers towards dark.
Super set of shots, love the overall feel of these, number 3 followed by 2 really stand out IMO. Well done.
Love these type of shots and the contrast works for me. How do you find these buildings and get access?
Thanks
Good pictures but I do not want to find myself in this hospital if I had a health problem... I prefer shadows with a little bit of details - the one you can find by moving your screen -, but it's just a question of style and taste and hard contrast with closed black works especially fine with the subject here, so no problem for me: it's your choice
^^^Ultimately, you take/process the images you do because you like them and unless you're selling for stock or have taken a commission that's what really matters
For the record I think these are cracking urbex shots, some of the best I have seen (but I like the high contrast style!) - do you frequent 28dayslater at all?
Loving the 1st and 2nd one of the second lot of pictures. Have to agree with others these are a superb set of urbex shots with spot on processing
Did you get into the mortuary by anychance?
^^^ah yep, just found your post! Seems like the locals there aren't used to the more "arty" photo style! Saw a post in military where the guy had gone HDR mental and everyone was raving about about his amazing pictures - had he posted here I'm pretty sure he would have got a very different response!
They work really well, this genre suits over contrasty and HDR treatment. I love number 3
This is my first post on this site & I'm now very glad I registered. Really like your subject & execution. So many critique forums are a race to mediocrity? Though a bit of detail in the mid tones might be better ;-)
You turned the processing up a notch or three and it worked. #2 & 3 have an excellently haunting atmosphere!
Go easy on the noob though?
Fantastic! Really, really great urbex shots.
How do you go about finding these places then, weather its in this country or abroad and can you access them easily or have to arrange access?
Exactly. I find that this is one of the main issues with critique sites. Beyond critiquing the technical aspects of the photo in question, there's much clashing of styles and personal preferences.
