I'd steer away from current entry level gear.
Instead I'd invest in older prosumer quality gear.
You can get a Pentax K10D (my camera) or K20D for real cheap these days.
However if I was in your shoes I'd try and pick up a FujiFilm S5 Pro or a Nikon D200. With any of those cameras you'd have a little bit of money left over to get a nicer lens, at least nicer then a kit lens that is.

Thank you for the advice. Will definitely take it all into consideration!

Went to Stonewall Jackson Training School today which as been abandoned for over 20 years now. Was my first time exploring an abandoned building. It was a lot of fun and I plan to go back soon.

Some very atmospheric shots there. Especially the shot looking down the stairs. Very nice!

My urban exploration shots can be found here http://www.computerforum.com/212079-urban-exploration-thread.html (better ones on pg3)

Thank you! I saw those a while back. Very nice! too bad you couldn't get inside.

Yeah. Every single window and door is boarded up and in order to get in you would have to scale walls and stuff. Not a great place for a first explore but it was interesting just looking around. I also read too that the place was full of asbestos (especially the bathrooms) and that the police apparently use it for firearms practise, so apparently there are lots of rounds all over the place too. Would be pitch black inside too, no light as all the windows and doors are boarded up.

That sucks. The place I went to was great. There was about 10 buildings and all of them but 2 had open doors or windows you could climb through. Also it was open to the public so I didn't have to worry about getting into trouble.

Nice explore Dale :good:

Thank man!

The second one looks like a revolution taking place and the bridge, London bridge? looks fantastic.

 

[spirit]

Thanks Ankur. It's Tower Bridge, there are many bridges in London, London Bridge is one of them.
