General Photography

It was about time for a General Photography topic! Try to keep all photos here G-Rated, please. Photography, as being a major hobby of mine [Possibly bigger then Lego], I was thinking it would be interesting to let others share their photographs!

This morning I was able to sneak into a old warehouse, all of the shots can been seen on my Flickr, but here are some better ones.

Oh this was the warehouse you snuck into and then had to run from because of the police?
Cool.

Yeah... I had a rather fun time. And to anyone who is reading this, I highly recommend visiting a old warehouse or any other old building, you can really get some nice photographs.

I don't want to know what Henri's talking about

And I really like the pics will, good job :D

What camera do you use?

A Nikon D300s with a remote flash, and for a lenses I either use a Quick-Change 35 MM, 30-40 MM, and a 100-250 for really close up stuff. I started out with a D3000 and most of these shots could be taken with a D3000 or even a D5000 with one or two lenses. For my gear bag, I always carry this
•Knife [Swiss Army] to remove plants in a shot
• Light Jacket
• Black T-shirt [Sometimes put like this] for dust and if there is high Police activity
• Lens cloth
• Second T-shirt [green] if I need to hide in vegetation it is great camo.
• Water
• Water shoes

If I am doing any other shot, I pack a lot lighter... But for something high-risk like this, I have to pack heavy.


Remember, this thread is not just for me. Share your photos, also.

You sound sinister Octan!

Camo and a mask to hide from police!

Haha... I try to do everything within the law, this site [Warehouse] was not marked so I was not breaking any laws... I hardly ever need to use the camo, but the mask is often used if I am entering a dusty room. Once I explain what I am doing, the Police nine out of ten times will let me back in, but explaining takes time. It is dangerous, but mostly legal.

Octan

Great photos!, I especially like the first one. You would never think it was in a warehouse.

Just be sure not to touch abandoned industrial waste. Or anything glowing green.

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction -Aperture Science

I've been playing Portal 2 as well...

That don't look like GLADos though... alright it sorta does, but the original GLADos if you've got to the 6th chapter of Portal 2 You'll see what she becomes... lulz

I've played portal 2. It's fun.

BACK ON ZEE TOPIC, YAH?

Just the kind of stuff that makes you think of ghosts and paranormal activity. (I watch too much "Ghost Adventures") I just find it fascinating, how much buildings reflect on it's history and past...it's freaky.

I am also fan of Ghost Adventures. I am fascinated with abandoned buildings, and history. I live in a house that is aprox. 300 years old [Built in 1690] and I am always finding new things on the land, making shoots like this are sort of "In my blood". This building will be gone is less then half a year, they are going to explode it with TNT to build self storage... It is a sin to knock-down buildings like this, I will be visiting it again this weekend to get more photos before the dreaded day.

Octan

So your house is being destroyed? How much did they pay you to leave it? I would just have a hard time leaving my home for any amount of money even more so if it's 300 years old.

That's a shame though. I do like Ghost Adventures too but Zack bugs me a bit.

Back on topic.

Sorry, I mistyped... The warehouse is being destroyed, not my house. My mind often jumbles, I know what I want to say but I comes in the wrong order.

Octan

Oh, that's still sad. What do you know about the building? What was stored there? I'm just curious. I like old buildings too.

From what I was able to figure out from locals it was a papermill, the mill itself has burnt and I did not have a chance to enter what was left of it... It appears the mill was for:

The area that I was able to get into was the Truck-Bay and storage areas, in the back there are roads leading into the woods onto a Highway and there are what appears to be very large reams of paper still in a basement area, the stair was filled with trash but I was able to take a peak through a small hole on the floor. I mine as well try to get into the mill when I go this weekend...

This is a photo I took while taking along with the NJ Wetlands institute during a tracking mission... (There are pros when your aunt is teacher of the year )

My general photography mainly is based on LEGO and SW figures. I'll show you some of my favourite SW figure pictures:




I also took a picture of a deer in JCC's backyard this morning, it'll be posted later.

That picture isn't worth posting! It is terrible! Plus nobody needs to see my backyard.

We can't let them see the evil Garden Gnomes!

You don't have Garden Gnomes! And you can somewhat see the deer. Do you want be to crop away everyhthing at your house, the garage, the swing, the picnic table?

You've said too much!

I couldn't help but noticed that you forgot to tipe "prepare to die" on your last post there, JCC...

Octan, you have made me worried! i am now wondering if the old RAF base behind my dad's house will be destroyed!

I will have to get a decent camera, and take some pics. There is no police to worry about up there so I'll need only about half of your gear, plus I own the road its on, so technically we own it...

EDIT- Octan, do you think I should get this?-Clickey

Those types of things tend not to be destroyed, shoot me a PM for advice on a gear bag.

Octan

And shoot me one if you want a decent camera to film(if you want some video footage of it)

I took this yesterday. Really cool.

Familiar?

I had it as my avatar during my hiatus, as a tribute to my times here.

Henri's back! Glad to see you return! Nice photography! I didn't understand it, it was too small in your avatar.
