First try at Urban Decay

[Emma Pugh]

I'm doing A-Level art at the moment and the topic is 'Decay and Erosion' so I thought it would be a good chance to use photography...

Hi Emma,

Lovely contrast there, not over/under cooked, superb!


It's so easy to get b/w looking wrong.

 

[Emma Pugh]

Cheers! I have to say, I prefer using B/W than colour..

 

[Pete Askew]

Nicely done there Emma and a good choice of subject for the theme. I especially like the composition of the first shot.

 

[Emma Pugh]

Cheers, I've got a few more pictures but they're not on my Flickr or laptop at the moment unfortunately! But the top one is definately my favourite

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Yep, that first one is nice and gritty - good texture which really suits B&W - very nice

 

[Jim Kuo]

#1 is lovely, very interesting angle, food for thought

I notice that horizontal line cutting across the top of #1, do you want to check if it's an artifact resulted in file conversion or something more serious?

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Very good Emma! love the textures!!
I'm very much into urban decay inside and out. I have a great interest rummaging around derelict places!
Is this the cottage hospital by any chance??

 

[Dave Moss]

Urban decay is a great photographic subject 2 lovely photo's Emma

 

[Allan Batchelor]

I like both of these but im into my historical (derelict) buildings so number 2 is probably my fav

You have good eyes!

It is an odd line - if it were a neg I'd say it had been scratched

 

[Emma Pugh]

I've only just noticed this, cheers for spotting! Strange..
Ah yes Dan, Dad has shown me a few of your Urbex stuff on Flickr I think it was. I was amazed by them! They're both taken in Pershore, the second on was at the old hospital but the first one was urm, haha can't remember..

 

[Kev Pugh]

Old health Centre in Priest Lane Em was the first

 

[Emma Pugh]

Ahhh thought it may have been.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

I will soon unleash the urbex beast inside that old hospital soon! lol
