Can you see me? by pennphotography
Featured in Urban Exploration – 23/11/2009 This is my mate who came down the drains with me on my second visit. Rain was on the forecast so we hung around the entrance and I saw this beautiful silhouette. I told her to stay still and I photographed many different positions. I really like the framing in this photograph and hope you guys do as well ;) Canon EOS 400d – 18-55mm / 3.2s, f5.6, ISO 100

closed for private party by unkreatives
I found this one while exploring an old building in Magdeburg, Germany. / The complex was build in the 19th century as a dancing hall and theatre called the “crystal palace” but the glory fades and it was closed in 1980 due to the need of money. Olympus E-520, Zuiko 14-42, f/5,6

Beautifulness Underneath by pennphotography
Today I went down the drains again with my mate this time. I had come across this waterfall last week and was eager to shoot it and I had this idea in my head. But with the two different torch lights like so, I thought this came out even better than planned ;) Canon EOS 400d – 18-55mm – 18mm / 30s, f 5.6, ISO 400

Coming at us! by pennphotography
This was another photograph from the other day down the drains with my mate. We started experimenting with long exposures and lighting and I tried this shot when he sat in front of the camera for 30 seconds and then I ran up and down the drain holding an orange torch 3 or 4 times. It was fun ;) Canon EOS 400d – 18-55mm – 18mm / 30s, f5.6, ISO 800

Art on the Tyne II by Catherine Dipper
View at dusk from a disused boatyard on the Tyne. This place was full of beautiful graffiti but I could only photo a little as the light was fading and it was raining. A couple of Fosters cans drew my attention not to the litter but to the lack of litter. Tidy artists and kids around here…

Final Steps by Kim Calvert
It was a game to him, it was a hunt..a hunt for the perfect victim, they wouldn’t even have a clue, not a chance for escape, he didn’t look the type, he was handsome, charismatic, the women found him irresistible, he didn’t even have to try to persuade them to come home with him.. She was perfect..beautiful, petite, full of life, after a few drinks and some conversation he had her in his spell, flirting, and complementing her, she was putty in his hands..he could feel the excitement race through his veins as he walked her to his truck..when they pulled up in front of the building, he seen the realization come across her face..her fear only excited him more..she grabbed the door handle ready to flee..but he was too quick and had her by the hair..dragging her out the drivers side door screaming, she fought him with all her strength, kicking, biting, but he wasn’t even fazed by her blows..as he climbed the stairs and slid open the door, he smiled..knowing that the Final Steps in this game were about to begin. Nikon D90 / 18-200mm VR Lens This is a set of stairs that is on one side of the Grain Elevator. /

HOME by Kim Calvert
He left her laying on the floor on a dirty mattress, the place he left her every night, the place he told her to / now call “Home” as he walked away from her, the hatred streaming through her veins made her snap, she wouldn’t go down like this,she called out to him, “Don’t Leave”, turning eyeing her suspiciously, he walked back to her, not knowing she had found her weapon earlier that day, a brick in the corner under some cardboard, behind her back she gripped it with one hand, the other hand reaching out to him, as he drew close she brought the brick down hard on the side of his head..down he went….she ran towards the door slamming it shut..,,finally she was free!!! She didn’t know which way to run, she just ran..as she rounded the corner.. to her utter relief parked not 20 ft from her was a police car..screaming..running she now knew she was safe..in no time she would be back home..”Her Home” she drew closer seeing him getting out of his car approaching her, she ran..throwing herself in the safety of his open arms..crying..”there..there now..your safe” he said ..she stiffened..knowing that voice..No it can’t be!!! She looked up right into the eyes of her worst nightmare..Him..he looked down, kissed her forhead “ wrapped his arms tightly around her waist..Now sweetie lets go back HOME.. Nikon D90 / 18-200 mm VR Lens Went on the inner part of the grain elevator today and got this shot (no one around on Sundays)
