*Official* Post Your Pictures Thread

**The_Other_One** · 01-12-2008, 10:07 AM

Hmm... Sorry I haven't been very active recently. I will try to do more around here as time permits. These pictures were actually taken about two weeks ago but I've just not gotten around to posting them. All were taken using my new Nikon D40 and it's kit lens. I plan on getting some new lenses eventually, but will probably use the 18-55mm most of the time. I never realized how useful such a "wide angle" lens could be

I'm not quite sure what these buildings were originally. There were I think 5 buildings on the land, each basically inter-connected to one another. Many of the lower levels were gutted. Middle levels looked like typical offices. However, the upper levels were just...astonishing!

The front of the building where we spent most of our time (very large image)

Lower level, taken by a friend. That's me in the distance

Going upstairs...

...to the more office-like areas.

Down some halls and up some more...

To find this!

Walls within a stairwell...

'till we meet again!

Oh, and if anyone's wondering, the pictures are high-quality JPEGs taken with in-camera sharpening disabled. I then sharpen in Photoshop and do some very minor tweaks(straighten, crop, maybe adjust the colors slightly) before exploring. Photos were taken in Aperture-priority mode, typically around f8.0.

Great pics The_Other_One!

Is that like an abandoned office or school or something?? lol

Here are my newest additions. Taken by the Canon PowerShot A560. Not the best of cameras but I think the image quality isn't that bad!

Hope you guys like them!

TOO, are the buildings that you go in (such as the one above), easy to get in? Are the doors unlocked or do you need to actually "break in"?

I've tried searching a lot for abandoned buildings in NH but so far all the ones I've seen are in the middle of a populated area, and I found out from others that you can get in huge trouble for going into the old mental hospital.

I also found a site where they even have an abandoned mall in NC!

ramodkk - From what I've heard, the place was an insurance company and club house. It had 3 pools, tennis courts, etc etc... I think the company moved and gave the building to the city. Currently it lays dormant, but I believe they keep the land up.

Omega - This building was one of the more difficult ones to get into, but typically they are quite easy to get in. But yeah, you have to be careful. Nothing can really be done if you're caught trespassing UNLESS there are no trespassing signs around... Then you're up shits creek

As for the mall, you know, I may have heard about that somewhere... Is it still standing? Any coordinates given?

I should really try getting some more pictures. Don't really enjoy fiddling with a camera when the lenses always fogs up.

eek..haven't posted in a while! I have so much to share! I will probably make two posts....

Well, this is from Saturday afternoon at Stone Mountain. ALL of these pictures were taken on top of the mountain. Enjoy

The infamous Gum pole:

I thought this was a perfect chance to snap a picture of these kids

Some reflections...

I liked the way these pictures turned out

Just a random guy and his kid

More to come! I have LOTS of good sunset pictures from that day also

I will update later since you're only allowed 20 pictures per post

btw, if anyone wants bigger sizes for a wallpaper or something, just ask. The biggest size I have them in is 3456x2304

Hey Ben, Stone Mountain is awesome isn't it? lol I live in Georiga also. Nice pictures you got there!

I love the one with the close up rocks on the water and the one in the sunset. Hope to see some more!!

Here are my new pics, wish I could go somewhere to take something interesting like a dinosaur eating a palm tree or something!
