Photos Avalanche Asylum

Just a few from todays exploration...

Comments!

 

Is that the old state asylum outside Northampton?

 

No, that place was torn down sometime last year.

I have pictures of it, but only with my P&S.

 

They finaly did, eh? Too bad, I have a lot of good memories from wandering the hall there at night. It was also a great place to test potato canons.

Anyway, great pics.

 

I'm surprised nobody asked about two and four.

"Camera Obscura"

 

Two and four just annoy me, the rest are great though.

 

i was wondering about them, but hadn't really had a chance to have a proper look before today

 

I don't get #2 and #4... is it double exposures or PS or what?
It look strange

 

"Camera Obscura"



The "pinhole" was a hole drilled in a board covering the window, so the image is projected onto the wall.

Both were just one exposure, about two minutes or so.

 

i do like 4

 

I think that in light of what you did to obtain it, 2 and 4 are both really cool images. It's not something most people would think to do. In that, it's quite artistic - a juxtaposition of the still good looking, bright exterior cast over the otherwise unlit, decrepit interior. I love that.

That being said, it's an image that required the explanation before it was interesting to me. It just looked like a bad shot through a grimy window or something. So, I'm really impressed with your photography skill and I'm impressed with your overall 'vision' - I just don't know if I like the shot, per se. It should speak to me without you having to tell me what it is, and it didn't.
