CT State Psych Hospital

Pictures from this morning's photo shoot at a former CT state psych hospital - didn't get to go into all the buildings I really wanted to since a van was driving around on site and I figured better to get the heck out of there, but I ended up stumbling on a water treatment building in the woods that supported the hospital, so that was cool!

This is just a selection of my favorites out of 30 pictures. The rest can be found on my Flickr or on my website.

Whoa these are phenomenal! I dig your use of natural light. Are you using a tripod at all or mostly handheld?

Thanks, glad you liked the pictures.

I used a tripod for #6 because it was basically pitch dark where I was shooting (it's light-painted with my flashlight using a 20-second shutter at F/11), but I typically shoot hand-held.

I had my tripod but put it back in the car halfway through because it was getting to be a real pain in the ass. I think I may invest in a smaller, more portable tripod.

Went to your Flickr page to see more. You have a unique style with light and shadows that is very captivating, but the angles you choose makes it all the more interesting. VERY NICE INDEED, FBP.

I love shooting with natural light - it makes for an interesting challenge to set up lighting without having an artificial source that you can directly control - although I'm not at all adverse to using the old flashlight when it's too dark.
