My photography stuff

  • Bristol North Baths (Again)

    Well, okay, here’s some photos. Well, quite a lot of photos:

    Gallery One – these are shots taken about 2 weeks ago, interior and fire escape, with a couple of exterior shots thrown in. In one shot you can *just* make out the glass roof they’ve covered with a hideous false ceiling.

    Gallery Two – these are shots taken about a few days ago and are mostly of the pump room – again though I’ve wandered off and taken some external shots, again trying to get something good of the chimney.

    For those of you not sick of it….!

  • The Last One Standing

    So, I got up this morning rather late, with every intention of going swimming. Having asked to borrow 2 quid of my beloved yesterday so that I could go, I then forgot to ask her for it today…

    …so I spent about half an hour wandering around the house picking up the small change from everywhere. And y’know what, it added up to exactly the price of swimming. I particularly wanted to go today to get some shots of the pump room at Bristol North, again, closure forcing me into action.

    Unfortunately, by the time I set off the traffic was bad, and by the time I got there it was school’s swimming only – and the bloke I need to talk to about the pump room wasn’t there (he’ll be back later). So I’ll have to head back in a few hours…

    So, I thought ‘what the hell, I’ll drop in the photos from last time, ‘cos then I’ll be able to see if I want to re-take any of them’ (quite likely as I forgot my tripod and was doing my best human tripod-lean-camera-against-things impression). So I walked down to the photo-store on Gloucester Road… and about 200 yards from the shop realised I didn’t have the damn film with me, it was sat in the car.

    So…Attempt two, I walked up, now feeling guilty I moved my car from the Pool carpark to the free carpark the other side of the pool, grabbed the film and headed down again. Got to the shop, and their frigging machine is out of order for the next two three days. What is it with this place?!

    So, I decided not to spend money I don’t have, and headed home.

    Of course, I was considering utilising one of my mail-order photo envelopes. But I’ve realised they’re only cheap enough if I’m getting lots of films done at once :-/

    Blah.

  • [Abandoned Court]

    Here’s some quick’n’dirty shots of the old Court in Bristol.

    It’s actually opposite the new one, and I did get asked by security what I was up to; and apart from being a bit confused about why I’d want pictures of old buildings (I think they think I’m a very strange girl) they seemed happy enough for me to carry on; however I don’t think I’ll be trying for any interior shots, what with it being attached to the police station (which they seem to be in the process of closing) and, as I say, opposite an active court!

  • [Abandoned Estate]

    So, ages ago I posted a couple of ‘teaser’ shots from the estate with concrete cancer that’s being demolished. Well, I think I did. I can’t actually find them right now, which is disconcerting. Since I can’t and it only adds 2 pictures, I’ll repost them too… [Click images for large versions]

    Anyway, this estate is being demolished because it’s got concrete cancer and here are some very poor quality photos (see end for explanation) (more…)

  • Abandoned – House in Oxfordshire

    Interior and exterior shots of a little bit of urbexing, or more accurately, rur-exing considering it’s location. I spotted it while driving past and decided to have a little look around – especially given the big gap in the fence (which, given the rate the Landrover crossed the field in my direction as I swiftly departed, I suspect may now have been fixed).


    Abandoned House

    Oddly though, it’s been completely cleared of debris, there’s none of the roof inside the building, so it may be that it’s going to be rebuilt.

  • Bristol North Baths [not quite abandoned]

    Okay, they’re not abandoned, but looking at some of the interior detail you’d be hard pushed to tell. Here’s my photoshoot from Bristol North Baths; alledgedly they’re due to close next month, which will leave me deeply pissed off.

    They’re beautiful – and as you can see – they’re pretty much exactly the way they were built. I’ve not included the shots, but it’s still got it’s chimney and boiler rooms from way-back-when. Also, a detail I noticed while swimming is the original ‘Emergency Exit’ painted signs still adorning the walls above the newer cubicles.

  • Stoke Gifford [abandoned]

    Stoke gifford being a fairly recently built area there’s not much that’s obviously abandoned; but there is an old ‘aircraft navigation aid’ which I spent a happy 20 minutes pottering around grabbing photos of…

  • Abandoned – Copper Mines at Coniston

    So, I said I’d get around to posting these; they’re the SLR shots I took while I was at Coniston Copper Mine.

  • Photography – Rather belated – Lakedistrict Films!

    I was going to go into big’ol explanations about these, but I probably won’t now, because I’m very lazy. Any way, here’re some pics from the Lakedistrict. There’s too many for me to put them all up here (that’s a complete lie; I’m again too lazy to put them all up) – but here’s some of my favourites.
