not entirely happy with some of them, but i bet your photography nerds can tell me where i went wrong.

Really nice pictures. I don't know if it's really a problem but if I'd see most of those individually without the background info I wouldn't recognize them being from a prison. I think that the 3rd pic has the best alcatrazy feeling to it and it's my personal favourite. The composition would have been better without the fence infront of the lower part of the tower i.e. moving slightly to the left... but of course, I don't know if it was possible without jumping of a cliff.

hey thanks! it means alot to me, coming from one of the photography gurus of this place..

in all fairness though, the photos were taken around the island and outside facilities. i also managed to take a few of the inside before my camera died, but i can't seem to find them now.

and yeah, i was not really into breaking limbs to get to places- although i did go up on various railings to get shots and ventured into gull territory for one of the photos, and they were none too pleased about it.
