Great small gallery of photos Motts. Sometimes they are just short and sweet. I really loved the windows in these photos. The stained glass is amazing. I hope someone keeps the stained glass if this place doesn't get restored. It would just be a shame if they don't reuse it someplace. Thanks again Motts..... : )

Love the stained glass windows....beautiful....great photo Motts!!

This shot couldn't be more perfect - unless there was the black shape of a bat flying away from the tower toward the center of the pic

OK, this is definitely straight out of Frankenstein's castle - gorgeous in a macbre sort of way :)

I like how the trees on the left look white - goes beautifully with the electric blue of the sky & roof

I keep expecting Igor or Frankenstein's monster to come shambling through

looks like what hell would look like

wow thats in pretty good shape!

You need to make a wallpaper of this one Motts it's amazing to look at.

Used to sit in an open circle in the old church (only light we had was a candle) and yes it has its own spirits) But I would never say Evil.

Not even when your down underneath seating level.

Great photos and hope someone has photos of the old hospital (inside aswell as out)

Top class

Thanks, the color in this shot is actually unmodified - the red is from the infrared filter that was on the lens.

These shots are amazing! ...but I actually have a little artistic curiosity. :) I'm a graphic design major, and I love how you make the skies in some of your pictures that brilliant orange color. Any chance you're willing to share a little of your technique for proccessing your images like that? Do you just do a selective color adjustment in PS? Thanks!

Yes converting your old camera isn't a bad idea. One of my friends is replacing his 350D and then converting it for IR. I was always worried about having that done on the 5D becasue of the cost of the 5D. You seem to get a lot of amazing shots in IR the way your 5D is now. I do like the way that the clouds look in the long exposures. I am looking into getting the R-72 filter but they are hard to come by in the 77mm size.

Well keep up the good work, you are definitely a very talented photographer and I respect what you do to document these beautiful locations before they are demolished!

I use long exposures, which range from 10-30 seconds at around f5 ISO 200, but I've heard many others with shorter exposure times - this might be dependent on the lens being used.

Unfortunately it is often impossible to take infrared shots of places where security is present and there is no time to fiddle with filters, tripods and exposure times... I was thinking of converting an old 300D to an all-infrared camera to avoid this.

Your welcome. This type of photography is a lot of fun but you make it look easy. I think many people don't realize how much work it really is to get such good shots like you get. If you don't mind me asking is your 5D modified for the IR or do you use long exposures?
