We bumped into Black Shuck and Brian in the location - sorry about the scare and glad you did not catch us with the axes and fancy dress props

You nearly did, we were just coming down from the loft when we heard people moving, we followed you through the hallway then into that room! We set up in the room to the left for some more prop work

It is good, the flooring is a touch bad upstairs - recommend it

It all adds to the atmosphere

Fantastic imagery!
Props work well, especially on the first shot.

Me and the Waggster were just doing some shooting in one of th Wards, I was next to a door looking down the Main Corrider. All of a sudden I get a blast from Sopohses Headtorch straight between the eyes! Anyway we had a good ol Yarn with him and his mate!

Your O.K my friend! I was seeing Boogey men for the next 10 mins! That one of yours makes my farty 9 L.E.D jobbie look like a Candle. Hopefully we can meet again soon?

The lenser is pretty awesome - done a write up review of it here with a comparison shot against a LED maglite

Blimey I see what you mean! Thats a serious piece of Kit sophos!

I was just deciding whether to just ignore this thread, or whether to start the Anti-HDR comments...
Until I realised these are cracking photo's, and a really great report!
I think the props work great, and you must have had a blast in there. Also brings another Asylum to our attention which none of us seemd to know about.
Hat's off, nice one!

Cool photos

klempner/urbanx - It's been reported recently here, but under it's newer name 'Hales Hospital'

Hi,

Thanks mate - glad you enjoyed the report. Was a real awesome day, and 'bumping' into others was cool too

HDR usually gets blasted however is normally down the grain noise and halo's where dynamic range has not been covered correctly and tools like photomatix causing all sorts of issues.

Props are awesome, the talkurbex crew is in the middle of some brain storming the most freaky, scary props that can be found in prep for the next mission

Thanks mate...

Yes, the building history has 3 names, Heckingham Workhouse, The Heckingham Institute then Hales Hospital

Can you believe that we forgot to shoot the basement, gutted really as we found something pretty cool - we found a blood sample tucked into the power station in the basement - freaky or what?

We will go back and get the shot

Few more pictures...

Dare you enter?

Memories...


Light at the end


Decaying loft space


In the loft was where I fired up the song "Arclight" by the Deathstars - really added to the mood

Enjoy
