Hello ...

Hello. I'm trying to get back into documenting decay and get some photography mojo back too. I did my A level photography in 1985 on an abandoned RAF bee in Shropshire and now I have time on my hands I'm trying to take myself off for an entropic walk every week. First week popped down to the Swanscombe Peninsula for the abandoned boats in Broadness Creek. An amazing place (I've just popped an URL in from my blog, hope that's OK)

Next week will be the abandoned sailing barges at Hoo.

Welcome along. nice set of images there, maybe add a few colour, but the B &* W certainly works for things like the pylon.

Yeah...nice shots! Like the pylon one too. Welcome to the forum. Get some reports up when you have them...

Make sure you keep posting your brilliant B&W images. B&W is a far harder medium to expose correctly than colour - yours are spot on and very informative. Back in my early days one was forced to produce forensic images in B&W, so I have a particular fondness for the medium!

Looking forward to the Hoo sailing barges.

Those were good, I do like B&W shots.

I dont agree entirely, with the use of lightroom etc I find it much easier to make b & w or sepia look hood.
A shot that can often look cluttered in colour can look interesting & informative in b & w, hence I tend to throw one or two in a lot of reports.
just my opinion of course

I agree entirely BG with your comment re colour and clutter - a B&W image of a really cluttered room is much easier to navigate around from the screen. Sepia is another rendition that is nice to work with on the right subject matter.
