Talgarth Hospital - July 09 -pic heavy- (My 1st Urbex)

Hey guys, I won't put up all the pics I took as it got ridiculous. Heard about this place from a friend, and it would seem its been photographed quite a bit on here, some outstanding shots, and strangely, a lot of places we didnt even find (such as the main hall!!!).
Loving some of the wide angle shots, JulesP had some great ones.

I wont go into the history, Im sure its been written out at least once.

Here's a selection of my photos and a link to the album.

Some outbuilding which had been trashed







Exterior shot


Tower












My cameo


Open corridor




Hovering Window


























Can anyone shed some light on Bryn and Victor? The rooms were tiny








The blackbird (JulesP also caught this, not sure if it was in the same place)




2nd Chair found in front of a window









On some other white building we did not enter due to aparent squatter(s)






The whole album is here (http://s657.photobucket.com/albums/uu297/r3quiem_urbex/Talgarth July 2009/)

My apologies if this is too pic heavy. This is my first time posting, any hints and tips on
-addressing places
-photography
-photoshop
-forum etiquette

will be greatly welcomed.

Cheers.

Nice explore and pictures!

Thats some funky hairstyle!

I love this place!
Looks like you saw some places I missed as well!
I went for another visit today as I was local again and found a few bits I missed before. Spent about an hour or so there just wandering and re-taking some shots I wasnt happy with from last time - will try to tag one or two on a bit later - hope you dont mind.
Thanks mate

NHS cleaning really sucks these days!

Some fabulous photos you've taken there, r3quiem. Really colourful, especially those gorgeous purply peeling paint ones.
Good stuff!

Why thank you, t'was a good hairday indeed.

I must say when we were in the town and asked a local where some road close was, he did say straight away "you aren't going up to the hospital are you".

A little worrying.

Cheers for the extra shots JulesP, where on earth were they? Doesnt look like anything we saw there, has a much more depressingly grimey feel to it. I love it. I tend to go for glamourous, high contrasty colours, whether bright or dark. If I try the depressing soggy heavy look I tend to go into looking crap... hmm

Really wish I could put a fisheye or wide angle on my camera.

Here are a few over-photoshopped bits ive done just as an experiment, most are going for the warmer look, contrast between the despairing surroundings and settings and the warmth of almost a sale home.

















Apart from the bendy corridors.
