Rhos Chapel - Sept 2014

[deapy1]

Hi all, its been a long time since I last posted on this site. I've got a new camera now and been out using it quite a lot lately. I've been interested in derelict buildings and taken numerous shots over the last few months. The shots below was of a chapel that I passed on the way to view a derelict building. I've got quite a few derelict building shots and was wondering what section to post them in?





Looking forward to your friendly praise or critcism

Looks like an interesting place to visit early in the morning or near the last gasp of daylight. But these images would do well with HDR, also the perspective & composition is not working for me either,

The second one works well, and I do agree with Tom in HDR you could control the tone ranges and pull a lot from this location - I hope its close by

This is a great looking building. Looks a great location with a lot of potential. Have to agree with the comments above though, the sky and the whitewashed wall are a little blown. A very difficult?impossible exposure to get right with one shot. A ND filter might be an option??

Derelict buildings could go in "specialist" I suppose? Not sure. Got to watch for access rights on derelict buildings

What is your new camera??

Thanks for sharing, I look forward to seeing some more,

Hi Garry, thanks for your comments, I hadn't even thought of HDR. For the last couple of months I've been snapping away at derelict buildings, so the content was more important than the quality, a lot of it has been in dark areas with long exposures over a minute in some cases. My new camera is an Eos 6d, I use it with a 24-105L lens and find the combination ideal for what I'm shooting at the moment.
Cheers

Thanks for your comments Ian, Yep,it's not for away from me, there's a HDR setting on my camera which I haven't used yet so it might be worth a return visit to practice...

Hi Tom, thanks for your comments, think I'll try a little HDR and see how it works out..

So long as the setting gives you the separate images give it a go, if not I would just bracked them and use software for the tone mapping / merging
