Neat. Cool atmosphere and such. I really haven't been paying much attention to this recent abandoned buildings craze, so I'm not sure just how unique or cliche these are.

How did you brace the camera for 10sec if you didn't have a tripod on hand? The shot's pretty clear for such a long exposure. Only problem with this is the lighting leads my eye to... nothing. It's a shame there's nothing interesting in the lower-right corner. Could I see the original color from this shot?

DoF and color's great. Composition's real strong too. Maybe cropping out some of the upper left a little and keeping the same 2/3 aspect ratio would improve it, but hard to say without spending a bit of time tinkering, making tiny adjustments and then comparing. Just something to consider.

Setting a camera down on something and using your timer will work wonders, also he never said anything about not having a tripod, perhaps he had a mini tripod.

op here.. thanks for the responses

yes i did have my tripod on me, was a must.. i like shooting at the lowest iso possible so that normaly means slow shutter speed, especially in these dark conditions..

my original intentions with the first photo was to have the door as the focal point, as the pure white shining through and acting as an outline i thought it would make it stand out.. i think a prop of somesort could help, like a broken chair or somthing.. ah well, i still think it shows the atmosphere of the place..

for the 2nd one i spent alot of time tinkering with it, aswell as having a ithgter crop.. however i wanted to keep the cealing hole in, which i feel helps balance the photo out a bit, and cropping it would also mean loosing some of the 'dead space' on the right, which i dont want to do, and the whole point of keeping that in with a shallow dof i thought it looked quite cool and the wallpaper looks like shadows from some blinds or somthing instead..

heres a colour version of the 1st
