Beauty via Dereliction
During Easter I “visited” a partly-derelict factory building that I had previously noted down as being a good photographic opportunity. I tend to make these mental notes all the time, and then forget about them a few hours/days later, but I couldn’t forget this location as I frequently drive past it. And it is a pretty imposing building. After taking the first 15 or so shots on manual focus without realising and without actually focusing, I think the remaining 40 images managed to capture some of the spirit of the place. Here are 6 of my favourites:
Dereliction #1 | Dereliction #2 | Dereliction #3 |
Dereliction #4 | Dereliction #5 | Dereliction #6 |

Were you using your 10D for these images? What lens did you use if you dont mind me asking. Great pictures by the way.

Thank you
They were all taken handheld with the Canon 10D and Canon 20-35mm 3.5-4.5 USM lens.

Mark, you may want to take a look at your site in Mozilla. This entry has broken the layout. The six thumbnal are off to the right, pushing the navigation links down.

I've just installed Mozilla 1.3 and the site looks fine at 1024x768 resolution. Not so great at 800x600 though...
I'll change the entry and see if that fixes the problem.

I am also using Mozilla 1.3 (on Linux) and when I have the browser at the full screen width (1280x1024 resolution) the images for this entry push over to the right. As I resize the browser window, making it narrower they move in towards where they should be.
Whatever is causing it only affects this entry though.
Cheers.

I see what you mean!
I think it's because I've included a large photo and thumbnails in the same entry, and there isn't enough text inbetween them to space them out. So the table which has the thumbnails in gets pushed to the right of the large photo. But only in Mozilla at that large screen resolution.
BTW, how big is your monitor?! 1280x1024 on my 19-inch monitor is painful...

I have a 17 inch monitor. I don't normall have my browser maximised as it is a bit too wide. I'd say I normally have my browser somewhere between 800 and 1024 wide.
