It's a very old, single story hospital divided into oooh, I don't know, probably about 40 buildings. The place has been TRASHED by vagrants, even the flooring of some of the buildings has been stolen. Toilets have been smashed, baths have been stolen, it was really bad. It was quite a rush getting the whole thing photographed, so I didn't try anything arty - I just used aperture priority with exposure compensation dropped one full stop (the default is just silly bright for some reason) with AEB set to +/-1 stop. Other than that it was pretty much walk, aim, click, but I managed to capture pretty much everything in the three hours I had inside. The Canon 600D might have zero weather sealing, but it survived three hours of being soaked in rain.
I opened a dedicated Flickr account for the very reason of hosting these pictures as I don't want them on the Photostream of my main account, there's nothing arty about these photos (they're more like photojournalism). These are all completely unedited straight from the camera, simply converted to RAW and resized. The white mushy stuff on the floor in some of the pictures is old medical records, there should be a shot or two of an intact record where you can actually read all about the patient. You'll see some pictures of fences with holes cut into them or simply pushed over, which is how the vagrants get in and out. You'll see holes in the ground where wiring has been stolen, and holes in walls where copper piping has been ripped out. You'll see stolen flooring. You'll see an absolute mess. Oh, and some are a bit blurry in places, my camera and lens got well and truly SOAKED and you're seeing rain trickling down the front element.
There are 215 pictures in total, here's the link: Flickr: oj10101.randompics' Photostream
I'll post a few here:
Underground cabling ripped up
Old medical records
More old medical records
Till slip from 1994 showing a packet of biscuits for R2.19 - very good condition considering it's almost 20 years old!
Smashed toilet for no good reason
Missing ceiling, roof and even some wall
Shredded paper beneath missing flooring
Destruction
