This place has fascinated me since first seeing it as a kid. You dont get a feel on how huge the building is until your really near it. Lots written on-line about the history so I wont add.
After getting there via 'the scenic route' (an hour plus of walking) we eventually found ourselves under the colossal chimneys. The place is huge, imposing and also crumbling away. Must admit walking around the ground level it was a bit scary looking at the rusting, brickless bare pillars then looking up at the amount of bricks and steel above it. It was great fun.
Visited with natevanstate and LiamCH for a few hours and probably will again as we could not find the control rooms... really gutted! Anyone who has please, please PM me for directions.
Anyway first night time outing with my camera so it was a good test and wish I got more pics really. Couldnt really focus and shoot so strangely ended up on Manual getting to auto focus then turning onto manual to make it take the pic?!?? Any comments for improvement or shooting technique welcomed...
