One of the reasons why I explore (Urban Exploration)

[TheTimeChamber]

Is for the interaction of the light and shadows in the buildings, and the peeling paint texture everywhere!

Beautiful abandon :}
May I ask where you took this photograph?

 

[Paul_Westhead]

I have followed people posting photos on urban exploration forums and found it fascinating. There are so many places hat are hidden from public view that re at risk of being lost to time. Excellent to see people recording this for future generations.

Likewise Nick, I was uber jealous of the recent Chernobyl trip with Ric, had my name down but redundancies at work made me pull out due to job paranoia...

Great shot... love the light flooding from the right into the corridor.

Cheers guys!

JST - I am jealous of the guys I went out with last May, they are heading back in a few weeks, and because they have all been before, they are arranging to see a few unseen bits! The gits lol

Great image Nick

I find it quite a disturbing image. Probably because of the location. And my reaction is no bad thing! But the shapes and the interaction of light and shadow are fantastic.

I wonder what it would look like heavily cropped so there was little outside the first doorway?

I have had a go, and to me, it removes some of the depth of the image...

I'm busting to edit, but you don't allow.

IMVHO there is far too much foreground (floor, wall, ceiling) I'd like to see a crop showing just the door frame with minimal wall/floor.

But there is a nice interaction with the frames leaning against the wall and on the floor...

Black and white?

I lose the cool blue with a b&w conversion, makes it look dull!

Love the textures created by the peeling paint, some nice photos there.

Play with my shot if you like. I'm usually impressed with what PS can do, I cant use it yet, so just a wee touch up on picassa, for what its worth, I love OP shot as it is, its all about opinions tho

Lovely shot. I was in Chernobyl/Pripyat in August 2010 and it was a real eye opener. Which building was this taken in?

 

[TheTimeChamber]

Errrr, the school next door to the swimming pool I think

 

[doublem1]

I too LOVE urban exploration. Where was the shot taken? Me and my urban exploring friends all agree with the following:

Peeling paint = Porn!

I would really love to go there but my wife is having none of it! I think she assumes that I will start to glow in the dark!

I have an interest in urbex too but i am afraid i don't have the necessary skills to use strobes effectively - (Yet).
