Thriller locaton photos

Just scouted around my area for possible locations and i think ive found some really good ones as frankly being in hackney with a digital camera was scary enough after bedtime. I really like the way that the streetlamps cast a yellow light and the autumnal leaves on the ground reflect this. Will upload some of the photos now and hopefully talk to the group about them tomorrow to see what they think.

This first shot is of the outside of an abandoned electricity power station. The front windows are boarded up and surrounding trees and streelamps make fantastic shadows on it.

At the front there are massive double doors and i shot at a low angle to emphasis this. Also, see the warning: danger of death sign accentuated by the flash it looks bright yellow in contrast to the green doors and bricks.


This alleyway i think is perfectly framed with bars on one side and the side of the old powerstation on the other. The streetlamp shines a great yellow light seen on the wall and leaves on the floor and creates both a sense of decay and urban wasteland with the harsh metal corrugated iron and.


This abandoned hut is just past the bars, unfortunately the park was locked but from the inside we could get some great shots. I think the harsh flash of the camera creates a very different and noticeable effect to the streetlamp with the whiteness of the leaves and bars maknig it very eerie.


This is shot form the opposite end of the alley and gives a different but less effective perspective as there is a school and road in the background.

I took this shot to emphasise the effect of the streetlamp on the yellow and brown leaves which i think works really well in giving a spooky halloween-esque look.

This is a shot of closed methodist church on the left of the power station, i really like the architecture of both of these buildings and think they have a very suitable worn down look.

This is a shot of the inside of an adventure playground. I think the idea of childhood and everyday activities becomes really sinister when no one is around and it is dark, something that id like to definately explore myself.

This is a shot from one end of an estate to the other. I think the harsh pale lighting does really well to give a sense of modern and urban living and gives it quite a cold electric feel. I also like the way this empty space in the middle is framed by the two opposing estates giving quite a trapped feel if you stand in the middle and are unable to see what is on either side.

That's all for now, hope you liked the pictures, I think there are definately some locations there to follow up in more detail at different times of day etc.
