Thank you for the great report. They are also very beautiful photos. I can confirm that you makes the best photos with tripod and without artificial light. Some of my photos you can see on my homepage: Beauty of decay

Thanks for the tips. I should have done the flashlight part when I went to visit an old castle in France once. There was electricity but it would have been a little more dramatic with a flashlight.

Honestly. I have been trying to find an artist that was born between 1890 and 1920 rougly that photographed Urban Decay well. Can anyone please please help. Google is killing me with its unhelpful results.

I’d recently shot the abandoned hospital at Ellis Island which, even after being ‘cleaned up’ was absolutely one of the coolest places to photograph. The closed section of the island is opened to public once a year.

Got a lot of wide and close-ups and the details spoke volumes.

If you live near Saint Petersburg/Tampa I will be having an exhibition of my haikyo photos from Japan this Friday, the 13th of November.

Details HERE

I will have 61 haikyo images on display in sizes from 8×10 to 24×36 of several haikyo locations in Japan.

Where is a good place to find/research abandoned places around me? That is if someplace like that exists.

I have been talking to my photography teacher about shooting on abandoned property, I know you should get permission to avoid police confrontation. But how do you go about that. How do you find the people who own the property? I have the location of the place I want, but I’m not sure who owns it. Is there a site where I can look this up? Or what?

Kate, there is no such setting as HDR on your camera. You can find exposure bracketing setting to make pictures with different exposure and later create HDR image.
