One of the few items actaully left in the asylum are the baths. Being old and iron or steel they must be heavy and cumbersome for the contractors to remove so are no doubt left for the wrecking ball to deal with.
This was a small bathroom off of one of the wards, like all the rest of the windows, the frame was removed, left open to the elements the walls were mouldy and the bath really grimy.
This was a challenge to frame, with the door tight behind we I really had to squeeze in to get everything just how I wanted it, trying to get the whole back wall and the strip light was fairly tough. I got there in the end though. I’m still learning about my Sigma 8-16 and what it can do, but enjoying doing so, the wide angle distortion is sometimes a treat, others a curse!Â

Really like the angle here Mark. Seems to yield more space to an otherwise crowded looking area. Also sets the tub off a bit. Nice work!
Love it, Mark! Glad the contractors left that tub in there as it makes for an awesome shot.
Fantastic. I love the way you grabbed the entire scene here, there’s so much to take in. Great textures and details. LOVE this photo!!
Great shot, Mark! Awesome composition!
Mark, I love the angular distortion of in this capture; it adds to chaos that must have been present in these rooms once upon a time.
Your eyes can take in take in the grime from ceiling to floor. Very effective!
Thanks very much for the comments – Taking another trip back there this weekend to get the images that wern’t quite up to the mark on this trip, so expect more from the mental home in the coming days!
