Hi everyone. This is my first image post to the forum so please be kind. I paid a visit to Glen O' Dee in late August. It was the first time I'd been there so it was more of a recce than anything else for a photography project I recently started working on, but I took along my camera anyway.

I'll pay another visit when I get chance to hopefully get a few more shots. For anyone interested in the technical details, these were shot on a Hasselblad 503CW on Ilford Delta 400 film using available light only.

Thanks for looking!

That's a great first post. Nice to see some film photography. Don't suppose you got an external on film did you? Thanks for sharing!
 
This is really fantastic stuff! Don't see much Medium Format photography round here either, very cool!
 
Nice set there. Love the square format.
I take it they are scanned from a print, or burning and dodging in photoshop ?
 
I love the fact you used film, this is certainly becoming more an more popular over the years especially in this hobby, top marks from me despite the fact only a few shots but its all it takes in some places.
Cant wait to see more posts from you, especially if they are up to this standard :D
 
Very nice for a first post, even better that you used a medium format camera and film. A nice change on this forum. Good photos though, the hospital looks in a sad state and the black and white photos makes it even more miserable.

Thanks Brewtal. I'm afraid no exterior shots on this occasion - weather wasn't ideal. Hopefully next time.

Yes, scanned and then balanced in LR. My days of darkroom printing are well behind me, plus I just don't have the space anymore. I still process my own film though.
 
Thanks everyone for the very positive feedback and for welcoming me to the forum! Here's a couple more shots from the same location, this time from the lower middle of the hospital where light is quite sparse. The dark and dingy look is very much what I was going for and I think the subject matter lends to it well. Same camera, same film.
