No, I go to a website which has a DB of locations that I can visit. Makes things a bit easier

 

the first one is leveled.. its just the way the building is... lol

nah.. i saw the old feed mills and walked over and saw all of this..

 

It must take inspiration from the leening tower of pissa lol. I like the fence shot with the bokeh. Don't remember which number it is.

 

i think it is just how the brick on the building is.. its wierd...

14? is that the one?

 

That would be the one!

 

This is one of my more favorite pics I took, even though it has my ex in it...

And I went out side and started snapping away after I got my car washed...







IDK Like i've said I don't have much of an eye for photography. lol Any sort of constructive criticism greatly welcome! and tips on locations and stuff, as of now winter blows lol so I cant get to many good spots but once it warms up.

 

Don't cut the car out of the pics like you seem to be doing quite a bit, just my opinion...

 

okay. IDK ive seen a lot of pics of cars where its just a part of the car and it looks great. Of course the background is nice too

 

It's a tough shot to get... your showing to much of the car and jsut cutting out a corner.. you should show jsut a little like 75%sid eand 25% front ex: maybe jsut headlight on the front and following the lines down the side of the car.

or if you are trying to capture a differnt effect: choose this to show becasue of the water dripping of it and it looks aggressive just seeing the front end

 

Or just an example of the front end. Maybe like this?



Damn, every automotive picture I have is from that shoot. lol here's another example from about 2 years ago (not as good though):

 

exactly thanks for the examples. lol Im a photo nub

 

Hey David, what are you using as a diffuser for your flash? I'm debating getting the Impact setup or not. I'd rather have a softbox setup over the umbrella setup though.

Eh, it's cool. We all were at some time!

 

This getting closer to the idea?

Sorry about all the asking and stuff but I want to able to take some nice pics during the summer

 

there ya go, now on your computer look a tthem both and honestly tell us which one yyou like better.

 

lol yeahh the second one

 

I didnt know they had a website just for this. I love abandoned stuff....here is one from late 2008.



Usually I just drive around a bit till I find something I like.

 

Damn I wish my ex didnt have all the pics from the abandoned school we went to.

 

While on the subject, here is a notorious famous abandoned building. Its Dixie Square Mall; closed in 1979 and used for the car chase scene in the Blues Brothers, and abandoned and deteriorating ever since.

 

its crazy what happens to a building simply by not being lived in. I know these are after years and years, but Ive seen pics of houses that have only been empty for a few years and they're falling apart. It's interesting

 

Isn't it crazy to think that the new buildings of these days only last a few years of not being inhabited while 200 year old buildings last for much longer.

 

Yeah there is a website. Google Urban Exploration

 

whew just got done editing a shoot i did today... photos turned out amazing... i may post some when im done uploading..

 

what was the shoot?

 

eh.. just alittle shoot with Katelyn.

Here are just two out of the shoot:
