(this i agree is Luck! 😉) Do you have more pictures from the queue ? I was at the very front, waiting for 7 hours and would love to see additional photographs. Thank you in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blinking Eye Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Favorite maybe in the sense that I see not one other photo on Alamy of this building, despite it being a registered USA historical site. Not many Alamy contributors in rural NW Minnesota, I guess? This is now called the Kirkbride Building. For many years, it was a psychiatric ward for mentally ill patients from all over the state. Most spent the rest of their lives there. The enormity of the structure can not be captured by photos. Multiply that white section by about 15 and you get the idea of the size, maybe. The residents must have made up half the town at the time. Large sections are now being demolished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so sad to think of people locked away but not as disturbing to me as the look of downtown Los Angeles these days. I am a freedom lover but it makes me wonder. Still a freedom lover, but upset about the situation. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never imagined my country would look this way. Anyone would be shocked by what I see on a daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maria You really nailed the focus. Manual or autofocus? You must have used a very fast shutter speed as well -- or maybe not?

I checked and the shutter speed was actually pretty slow, 1/30 sec, but I was panning while shooting. It was a bit of trial and error, I shot a lot to make sure at least some would have the focus I wanted ( and several did not!). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
