Organ, not an organ!

Which crop?

Thanks for looking

 

[Rob MacKillop]

And I thought my living room was untidy...

Both good, Dan. The first seems to be drawing more of my attention.

 

[Davie Hudson]

top one for me, i started looking at the bottom and worked my way up

 

[Pete Askew]

I too like the lead in but I prefer the lower angle in the second and, I think, the toning.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Dan superb. I also prefer the angle of the second image, yet they are both so different I'd not like to compare. Both superb.

 

[Nick Lukey]

Top one for me, though most disappointed as was expecting some gory bloodbath

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Many thanks guys.

I shall be revisiting this place soon.

I just dropped by and snapped up a few with the Fuj with limited time.
Handheld at around 1/4 of a second.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Certainly more appropriate than the last organ we had on show in the forum

 

[Hamish Gill]

The first one is better IMO, the distortion in the verticals doesn't make sense once the image is cropped, if you want to crop it, correcting the verticals would make it work I think

 

[Chris Dodkin]

first one for me - lovely tones

 

[Beth Carter]

first for me too. i like the extra space at the bottom.

 

[Paul Lange]

Man, that must have been one hellava party! I think I prefer the first but might of liked the second better if the foreground was in focus.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I like them both but the first one is brilliant and I like the special glow and tint.

 

[Keith Hollister]

First one, by far for me. It does a better of job of conveying the space. The second one seems too truncated - I'm left wondering where this is. I would try to open up the shadow tones a bit so it doesn't look so crushed. Not suggesting a change in overall contrast, just a bit more shadow detail. Cool photo, though. I like the mottled tones on the walls and floor.

The second image doesn't really work for me. I also don't think the conversion is as interesting.

If that Leslie cabinet still has the guts in it, it is worth some money even if it doesn't work.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Thanks for the advice Keith,
Definitely take that on board.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Well pointed out about the cabinet, they are well crafted pieces and amazing to watch an open one in action.... As the place has been vandalised by a bunch or more of yobs, they've been solely focused on destroying the organ (as it is easily identifiable to these idiots) that they did not have the intelligence to focus destruction on the organs fundamental partner beside it, Donald Lesley's invention.

The most common slogan in this urbex game is 'take nothing, leave only footprints'. I certainly won't be doing anything with this....... But it'll only be a matter if time before some yobbo does, and it won't be pretty..... Shame
