Lost in Time

Inspired by an article in American Photo by Joe Gioia about new generation docu-photographers like Ian Ference, Lung Liu, Eric Holubow, Chris Payne and Annie O'niell and their works shooting abandoned hospitals, schools, hotels, apartments, etc. I used the long left dwellings in Bannack Montana for some trial works of my own. Using natural light to capture the many textures and colors inside these run down houses and buildings was a challenge but it allowed for a more accurate result of the feeling you get exploring these places. I like trying to capture the erie feeling of these forgotten locations, it is fun and I am fairly happy with the results I achieved for my first real go at this sort particular subject matter. All were shot with Canon 50D and Sigma 18-250mm lens. Benromonopod was used and all naturally lit. A mix of Auto white balance and sunlight white balance settings as well as ISOs ranging from 250-640. Center weighted metering. Some minor cropping and contrst adjustments were ade in post editing for subtle detail enhancement.
