Hey Chris. Another great vid and magnificent pics as well. Your bringing back many memories for me from when I was there in 2013. Im going to have to back again I think. Look forward to your next video my friend. Cheers .
Peter B hi Peter I just loved this place the best visit on the whole trip mate just want to put it out there anybody interested in photography you need to visit this place. Thanks again Chris
Jane O'Sullivan thank you Jane I'm sure you could the thing I do is just slow everything down and take in the details of your subject from a tree to a car they are all the same. Thanks again Chris.
Hi Chris, Brilliant video and absolutely stunning photographs. You must have been like a little boy in a sweet shop, not knowing which one to choose next! Cheers....
Chris. These are your best yet mate in my view. Absolutely love the mood you have created and the music adds to that. Reckon you could do a book on these. Fab.
Another great vid Chris , makes me want to pull a sickie and fly there tomorrow , love the shots inside the old trucks , amazing composition. You must be still on a buzz from the place , take care
Haven't watched any of your videos for a while so I'm just working my way through them and what a place to start. Some cracking images and this type of subject works real,y well with HDR. The eerie music added to the overall atmosphere. Great video matey. Now off to watch your next one 👍
Thanks paul great holiday loads of photography I miss the USA I fell in love with the place but I'll always have the pictures and videos. Thanks for taking the time to view. Chris.
Don't know what word is most fitting for this,simply amazing outstanding best I've seen didn't know of this place so thanks because I'm planning to go vegas in next 2-3 yrs and will be checking out thanks. I take it most of these images are HDR bracketed brilliant brilliant video well done. Perfect soundtrack too..
Shaun Hilton this place is amazing you will have a great visit. I had 2 hours there but if I'm honest 5 hours would have been the right amount of time. But its never easy when you have people with you who do not like photography so I did appreciate them giving me that time. Guess that's what happens when you share a a family holiday with your photography obsession thanks again Chris
Amazing Chris, epic place to visit and photograph, your soundtrack is extremely fitting and ghostly. Really enjoyed it pal, must have taken you an age to put together but well worth the effort.
Fantastic video mate. Your final images are truly awesome and like your factory shoot in Leicester very haunting. I've been going through your back catalog and enjoying every minute of them. You see the world around you so beautifully. I love your energy and enthusiasm. It feel quite contagious (in a good way 😊) Anyway, I'm subscribed. Keep up the excellent work mate 😊
Still thoroughly enjoying your channel. Love your shots in this video. If you ever want to share the editing techniques you used on your photo's I would love to see that video too! Thanks for the this. Adam.
Thanks Adam it was a great place to shoot happy days for me. The edits are just 80% done in Adobe camera raw then Photoshop using the plug in nik collection from google. Hope this help. Chris.
+Mike Molloy Photography thanks Mike no Sir never been if you can give me some places to study I'll take a look, working my way around beautiful Derbyshire at the moment. But if you can point me in the right places I'll take a look thanks for the heads up. Chris.
By the way Chris, start saving for a trip to Iceland ( if you have never been). It is unbelievable and you would love it. I can't do heat so chose Iceland in 2008, slap bang in to a heatwave!! Still, the photography was awsome.
Willnot Betracked already on it booked for next October can't wait. We want to do a winter and a summertime trip so winter next year summer 2019 I think.
Hi Chris, I see you have gone back to HDR in these images. Are they multiple images or are you bashing the hell out of single files? If they are single file HDR (pseudo?) files they seem to be holding up to the processing quite well. I'm not a big fan of hdr but you seem to have a style that you love and have nailed! Really enjoyed the video...lookout, SNAKE!!!
Hi wilnot. No HDR here buddy just a one image edited in Adobe camera raw then high pass in Photoshop with a little love and kissing. and then over to nik google for one of my own presets. Shoot for the high lights in camera had to watch not to blow the clouds out. I did so in many shots but thank god for digital just kept adjusting the shutter speed to get me somewhere in the right ball park. Good fun with some challenges. Thanks again Chris.
Hi Chris. I think is about time to organize some meet up. Get people together and go out to do some shooting around a Leicester to start with. I believe that there will be good bunch of people sheering the same passion that will be happy to participate . What do you think?
It's a shame that place has basically been turned into an open junkyard. I always hate seeing vehicles left to rot and rust away, when they can be parted out for restorations, or at least recycled. I was surprised you didn't convert many of those shots to black & white, since it often makes decaying items more interesting. Anyway, glad you didn't run into any rattlesnakes or cactus.
I understand what you mean, and there are many videos on RUclips of abandoned buildings and places, that are both fascinating and sad. It always makes me wish I could go back in time and see them when they were in use and thriving.
CHRIS LJ I know Chris I love old cars and motor bikes and it's great to see me in tip top condition it is sad but it was great to photograph them in this setting. Have a good day Chris cheers Chris

Hi Chris.
I think is about time to organize some meet up.
Get people together and go out to do some shooting around a Leicester to start with.
I believe that there will be good bunch of people sheering the same passion that will be happy to participate .
What do you think?
Mar Grab yes it is a great idea. I have asked about but it's never easy getting everybody together at the same time. Cheers Chris.
It's a shame that place has basically been turned into an open junkyard. I always hate seeing vehicles left to rot and rust away, when they can be parted out for restorations, or at least recycled. I was surprised you didn't convert many of those shots to black & white, since it often makes decaying items more interesting. Anyway, glad you didn't run into any rattlesnakes or cactus.
