Anyone into Urban Exploration and Photography?

The two go hand in hand really.

Here are come photos I took recently.
The only photoshop used was vignette and contrast changing. The reflections are from rainwater in the base of what was a silo.








Fascinating place to explore.

Lots more unedited pics here.

Re: Anyone into Urban Exploration and Photography?

I remember that site getting a massive spike in users when someone published pictures from inside the Longbridge plant in Birmingham (the old Rover works)

I would love to do a bit of that kind of photography as there are always loads of interesting textures etc, but living where I do, it's all been re-developed

Re: Anyone into Urban Exploration and Photography?

I went to the old Asylum Building in Denbigh last year after visiting some of the urban gorilla sites, like 28 days later and one called UK Underground, it's great inside, unfortunatley dont know of any other similar sites nearby that i can visit.

I do want to visit Severals assylum down south, there's loads of pics on flickr and it looks tremendous.

Here's a couple from my
Denbigh Asylum
set on flickr.
