WexfordMusings · 2008-10-28 19:00:20

I visited the old hospital in wexford and got the following: [IMG][/img] [IMG][/img] [IMG][/img] [IMG][/img] [IMG][/img] Hope you…

are these for c&c?

if so 1 and 2 are a bit overexposed, perhaps you could reduce the exposure in cs2/lightroom

3 could do with a wider angle, to save the central object having its corners cut

something similar with 4

are you aware of HDR? could work very well with some of the photos i think

Just wondering how safe the hospital is? I've been thinking of doing some modelling shots in there for a while and want to find out first as i wouldn't want to be putting any of the girls in danger

So just check it out yourself without the models. Different people have different ideas of what's safe.

One place I would love to see would be the old Jurys in waterford, remember staying there when I was only a child in the late 80s-90s, its an eerie site seeing it closed up on the hill overlooking waterford now

I'm afraid so.
They were getting too many legal threats. All of them unfounded but even to defend oneself from bull**** costs money and the decision was made to let it go.
There are still pages about, particularly on Facebook, but you have to find them. I tend not to post my stuff to FB though due to a lack of anonymity.

I told the guy who was running it that he shouldn't have his address and phone number so easy to lookup. He said he wasn't doing anything wrong and had nothing to hide. Month later he received a solicitor letter. A lot of the heads on the forum needed to wise up.
