Chernobyl & Pripyat as you've never seen before...

Last week I had the privilege of completing a bucket list item to go to the Nuclear Exclusion Zone in the Ukraine. I met up with a friend for a two day tour and it was fantastic.

The timing with HBO's magnificent mini-series Chernobyl was coincidental. As such there's a lot of people posting their photos on social media at the moment, so I thought I'd show you something a little different.

BEHOLD! Chernobyl and Pripyat as seen via a GameBoy Camera in stunning 0.1 megapixel glory!

This is as close as I got to the Vladimir Ilyich Lenin Nuclear Reactor #4. The background radiation was 0.17 microsieverts.

Just when I thought I'd seen every single picture there was to see of Pripyat!




Give abandonment a reason for its sacrificial reclamation to nature. Love it. Remember it. Take a picture. Share it. Leave the decay to nature.

I love it.

How did you transfer these photos from the system/cartridge to your computer? I have one and would love to take it with me to some locations, but I haven't found a good way to get them off the system yet?

I have two ways. An ancient Windows 98 box with Mad Catz Camera Link. Or the easier way is using a BitBoy. I highly recommend that.

Does HBO series have any influence on you? Is there hype in the exclusion zone after the Chernobyl series? I heard that the activity of the tourists after Chernobyl series greatly increased, about 30%. A lot of people visited the exclusion zone thanks to the company rocketpayz. Maybe you decide on this.

After parade after parade of HDR photos, the potato quality of these is a breath of fresh air. They're amazing in a Sharknado, "so bad it's good" kind of way.

Maybe you decide on this, maybe I decide on that. Either way, it all looks like sweet tasty Spam to me....

Now many tourists go there, even oddly enough they have opened hotels in the exclusion zone and you can go on an excursion, you can even play online games https://jennycasino.com/casino-games/ and have fun.
