room w10: view north-west
A cluster of weirdly angled pipes stood awkwardly in room W10. Although effective
at drawing the eye and weirdly interesting, this shot across the front windows of the
room failed to illustrate its size or configuration.

room w11: view south
The lone chair in room W11 offered something to work with and was the subject of several shots. The
appearance of the southern spur of the building through the window was an unexpected bonus. However,
the photo was taken at a crazy angle and didn’t show the narrow nature of the room.

room w11: view south-west
Here’s another picture of the now famous chair. Again, this shot relegated to the pure-art bucket as it didn’t quite work.

plant room #1: view south-west
I dragged the lone chair into the centre of the room to add a little bit of interest, and some scale,
to the empty Plant Room #1. In the end I used my original photographs of this room with the chair left
in its original position by the wall.

room w12: view west
There were some great angles here (helped by the hanging fluorescent light) and contrasts between
the low-angled sun and the lengthening shadows. And I would’ve used this picture if I hadn’t cropped off the left side of the far wall.

plant room #1: view west
This similar shot to the previous one was rejected for the same reasons. A pity as
the light was perfect in the southern facing rooms of the building on this day.
|
room e5: view north
This shot looking out of the window of Room E5 was mostly too dark and didn’t really add anything to the story of the building.
|
room e7: view west
The glorious sunlight was also easy to pick up in the large south facing rooms of the eastern spur.
Apparently this green paint was also used on the main base itself. But I already had several other good pictures
of this room, which is why this shot was rejected.
|
room e8: view west
Another shot of one of the most photographed rooms, and another shot rejected as I had so many to choose from.
|
room s7: view south
I had a shot of the four southern windows of Room S7 from the outside and so tried to photograph
the opposite direction. It didn’t really work as it was too dark.
|
room s10: view north
The obligatory "Nature Reclaims" shot. Whilst this clearly shows off the hatch of Room S10, it fails to give any
indication of the size of the room, so it was ultimately rejected.
