seaton heights hotel, seaton *updated*

I know this one has been done a few times, but yesterday was my first visit so i thought id post this up as a bit of an update more than anything,
although the place has been pretty extensively damaged by the local vandals i was surprised at how much glass was still remaining and the newts and tadpoles living in the pool (rather them than me!!)
anywho on with ze pics !! visited june 2011

the block with the rooms, shame all the glass has been smashed out of it !

Blimey, the pool area's overgrown amazingly since I was last up there...it was all just pavement tiles on my first visit. Did you see the nissen huts?
Interesting to see an update, although I'd rather remember it when it was gracefully decayed and before it got trashed. :cry:

i found your report very interesting. i went to seaton a couple of years ago and i googled it brought back memories. by the way we didnt stay there it was the place that tesco knocked down to build a supermarket. again thank you.

i did briefly see the nissen huts my friends were quite keen to look at the sports centre :/ so im going to have another visit soon so i can get some proper shots of them, i must admit i did look at your initial report and cant believe how bad it is now ! its a huge shame !. the amount of wildlife in the pool is amusing

i cant help thinking my slightly naff photography skills let it down a bit lol,

thanks for the positive comments :)
 
It was a great report and your photos aren't even half as bad as you make out. They don't have to be arty to capture the site well.

Keep at it and I'm sure you'll have confidence in your work in no time.

I don't use a pro camera (very often) so have to make do with a point and click but you can still get amazing shots.

i totaly agree, it isnt the camra its looking at what you shoot. your pics are fine. personaly i have 2 cannon dslrs and 2 slrs plus differant cannon piont and shoot digies, but what i use most it the samsung digi that i carry in my hand bag. just take a sec to look at what your taking it will be fine. i look forward to seeing your next report.
 
thanks for the kind words guys and gals , im highly critical of my work to be honest im my worst critic !! i use a canon 1000d and have spent a bit on a zoom lens and some filters , im getting there i think, :) if im being critical i would say some of the external shots were a bit over exposed but if i look back on some of the shots i took when i started (just over a year ago) the current ones are much improved :D
 
I enjoyed looking through your report.

It looks an interesting builidng...I hadn't seen this before.

Thanks for sharing :)

i have the canon 1000d and i was lucky the lenses i had for the other slr canons work. i do like canon.
 
I think it looks much better in your pics Adam, nature has done a lot of improvements, Thanks for posting the pics Foxy, (you didn't happen to drive your tractor over the paving just before you took your shot did you?):lol:
