Some analogue shots I took last year, I finally got around scanning them. These were shot on expired film with extremely foggy weather.

I think #2 is pretty outstanding. The composition is so simple, yet interesting. The huge fields of nearly background and foreground really highlight the faint details of the building.

The first might really improve if taken from a lower angle, though I can see that you might be limited in that by your height.

Crouching or laying on the ground is very often a good idea. Its much easier to take an interesting photo when the camera is not always 5-6 feet (or in this case a litt more then that) off the ground!

Two and three really drew me in.

The only one that I had a problem with is the last one, I think the blown out top of the photo is too distracting.

Well done Adstar. Nice cold abandoned feel to it.

Gone for a while. Be back when I'm back.

I'd like 2 to be horizontal with less sky... I think it's a little blown in the exposure and the white-bleached sky doesn't do anything for the foggy atmosphere. I do like the low contrast, though... very spooky and almost melting into the fog. Mysterious.
3 is my favorite because of the subtle tone and the textures... even the windows have their own way they bend the light around the room. The peeling table brings me into the space and provides a tension that some photographers would be quick to shoot down... I think it adds something to it, though. I enjoy seeing the little heater glinting in the shadows a lot. In fact if it wasn't for the low contrast (I'm a fan of it) I'd have to say that's the best balancing feature of the photo.
If I had to change it I would make the crop perfectly straight, not use a wide angle--but a 50mm to bring the person in and minimize the barrel distortion that's messing with the table's edges. I'd also get a lower angle closer to the table top. I'm 6'5" and being tall is no excuse! ;) Get on the floor or on your knees to shoot and you might see it can bring in a lot more interesting lines. and change the whole dynamic!

How is this even 'exploration'? It's a loving house you've already been in you weirdo!

i'd have to say 2, 3, and 4 are my favourites
2 is a great shot with some nice fading away mist, i love that
3 is nicely positions, but some more contrast should fix it up a bit
and 4, i like the nice high angle despite everyone else's opinion, great job
