Extinguisher

Well I finally got around to infiltrating a building last week that I've been surveying sporadically for months. Hooked up with a new photographer friend through Kijiji and off we went for a little mid-week mid-aftenoon adventure. We weren't disappointed.

Meandering through abandoned properties looking for compositions is an adventure I've come to love. Never knowing what's around the next corner. Always keeping your mind aware of the potential dangers around you. For me it's almost like a sixth sense kicks in and really opens the mind.

With the current recession that's going on, more places like this will become frequent and add to the availability of images filed under the "subjects of urban decay."

Harley Heaven
















Shooting images with high dynamic range really makes one sit back and wonder what we're constantly missing out on during daily visual life. A recent shoot with a good friend's Harley Sportster brought out an amazing sky and detail in the chrome. I recommend any photographer with a passion for new techniques to try this style of photography. To view the rest of the series visit my flickr page.
