Dilapidated house

[MissCream]

Here is an old house that I have been dying to get into, I've tried to find out who owns this house for a year (not that hard I must admit) so I could take some pictures. Finally I saw a truck drive into the drive way so I followed it and asked to take some pictures I didn't actually go in the house because the floor was very unstable but I got a couple snaps through the window frame and door.

The brightness and blacks might be a bit off on these because I am on vacation and I've only got my laptop on me. Thoughts are appreciated!! Oh and this was my first try at this sorta thing

Sorry they aren't numbered, obviously it is one picture

I really love this kind of stuff, and I believe you did a fantastic job at it. The blacks and whites look just fine for the most part on my display. The top right photo of the outside structure looks marginally underexposed, but it isn't very drastic. I admittedly have a soft spot for black and white, and here it works well to simplify the chaos of decay. :thumbup:

Thank you!

I'll adjust the exposure when I get home

I love old houses and barns. The shot in the bottom right hand corner is my favorite.

Cool place to shoot.

Seems to be a lot of distortion, were you using a very wide lens?

You should work on the one in the lower right and see if you can recover a little highlight detail. If you can't, it might be interesting with about 1/3 of the image cropped off the left side.

These are wonderful!

Thanks everyone,

Ron I only shot the bottom one at 18mm the rest were around 30-40 ish, I'll have to check the exif.

I don't think that I can recover the blown highlight in the bottom right, I'm not sure I want to crop it because it won't fit under the house the same lol, I do have a different version of the same picture but it was shot in portrait.

Rebecca, I now assume you were using a single zoom & not primes for all the shots. Was this a kit lens?

wait, you approached a truck that drove into the driveway of that place? Have you seen texas chainsaw massacre!?!?!

But seriously, I really like the way you put the group together into 1 shot. Don't be suprised if you see me copy something like that
