the pipe is used as a lightning rod

Thats pretty cool!I've been involved in ghost hunting long enough to know double exposures and other such things that most people would mistake for ghosts and I knew it wasn't real but heh way to scare the people here!:)

This shot touches me. I can hear the wails and moans of the patients. I can feel the heavy uncertainty that bellows from the rooms like a fog enveloping those inside. There is pain. There is loss. There is death. All trapped in this hall.

See the pipes along the top of the roof- practical won over integration. probably after they ran out of budget for infrastructure refits.

It is a tin ceiling... what you are seeing falling off is the thick paint.

Come on guys, it's a ditto machine, get it right;)

Great photography Motts. I'm spending my work shift checking out these pics. I've always had a hankerin' to explore old structures such as these. But I'll stick to my day job. I would like to check out old Eastern State Penitentiary in Philly.

And going to market them next to the whip cream

Motts, I love your work. I would like to know a little more about the camera you use. I have a Canon Rebel 6.3 Mega Pixel. I would like to try to get take shots like this around my house as a start. What suggestions or additions would I need to do this.

I know I need a tripod. But what type of Lens. I don't think the EF-S lens that I have is fast enough for these low light levels you seem to be using. Also, my Canon only opens up to 30 seconds max. How can I increase it to like 5 minutes.

Thanks.

That too!

yes, now they're putting milfs in milk cartons with nip-, er, strongback thingys for, um, easy access.

whew, is it getting hot in here, or what?

(must be the boiler room)

Heh probably, or pulling the handle would pull the entire wall down into the basement!

I was gonna comment on the GYN exam table, but Betsy beat me to it. I hope the doctor didn't wear that mask while he/she was working on patients! :)

Is it just me or does that highly resemble the hallway with the chair in Session 9?

Yup, a network of steam tunnels connected to every building to supply heat and electricity.
