Abandoned Places

[Artograph]

Thats a neat shot Arto. Looks like a house just north of Toronna that I see.
Can ya get in?

Thanks!

It's actually east of 'Toronna'! LOL!! Waaaay east!

I'm too chicken to try to get in!

While the house and sheds are abandoned...the land is still being used by the owners (or maybe rented out?). There is also a house right across the street form this one, and so you are in plain sight!!! Eeek!

Sounds pretty far.

And, another one...

Critiques always welcome!

Too bad for all the eyes around, I'd have to open up some Irish/Barbarian whoop ass for the asshat who dialed the cops on me! layball:

Anyways, sweet shot. I love the comp, b/w, grass; great job. Lot of people don't understand that comp plays some slightly different "rules" in UE, and this is good. Reminds me of a similar house down near my job, and it's been abandoned for god knows how long. Just that the damn thing has to be across the road from a major business. Ugh. I thought about hitting it up once, until I noticed that cute, little power meter on the side of it. (

Something I noticed a few seconds after my post: I messed with it as much as I know in PS, so if anyone can clear this up. It seems to be a figure of some sort in the window. Could just be old furniture, but if someone could examine it that'd be great:

Jeeze...you're giving me the heebie-jeebies over here!! I did notice that the screen was ripped (there's no glass), when I took the shot. Now...if you are seeing something other than that...well...I wanna know too .... I think!

Looks like somebody was being watched from that window. Sometimes you cant see them when you shoot the pic, but they always see you. :lmao:

CRAP!!! You know, at first I didn't see anything beyond the screen....my monitor is apparently darker than it should be! When I tried to enlarge the image, I just about crapped! :OP

Anyway, I went back and played with another photo...taken same day/time, slightly different angle...enlarged it, brightened it....not sure what it is...but it looks, er, ummm...'hamless'??

I finally got a new camera and was able to get photos of the place where I have been working at for a month!
This is an abandoned silo and barn.
And my two little Urban Explorers.
Comments are welcome.

I'm even in the photo!!! hahaha

My two little Urban Explorers (aka UE). Ryan is the big one and Keagan is the short one.

Gas Works Park, Seattle, WA

Machine was created in ~1906 to turn coal dust into gas for lighting/heating, etc. Was obsoleted in ~'50's due to natural gas import and bought by the city and turned into a park in the mid '70's.

Nice shot Marty, and welcome to the photo forum!

 

[Artograph]

"Big Bully"...so glad you got a new camera!!!

I love the warm tones in your photos, the feel of the (evening?) sun, and the softness around the water. 3, 4, 5 and 6 are my faves!

Moose...welcome! What an interesting thing to do with the old machine, huh?
