While this technically wasn't my first explore, it was the first time where I intentionally made a trip somewhere just for the sake of exploration rather than just stumbling upon a small find. These shots were taken back when I was still using a cellphone to shoot on and before I had much editing experience. That aside, I hope you enjoy the set.

This factory used to be part of the automotive industry until it unexpectedly had to close up shop due to budget cuts within the company. The place was absolutely massive, spanning over one million square feet. Most of the equipment had been auctioned off when the building closed, however there was still plenty of things left behind. To my knowledge this location was not known among the urbex community. We didn't even find any signs of vandalism or graffiti during our entire exploration. Unfortunately this whole entire property has now been bulldozed.

I love places like this, they produce some really good sets. keep up the good work!

Mmmmmmmm...... boiler sludge..... *drool*

Incredible pics, fantastic get! Thank for sharing!

Very nice set, looks like yu captured the place very well !

Thanks for the support everyone! Glad to see that you guys enjoyed it.

Great stuff!!

Do you mind if I ask what kind of cars were manufactured here? I am going to guess it was a GM plant of some sort.

Great shot of the keys!

#4 is a transfer case. It transfers power from the transmission to the front and rear wheels in 4 wheel drive vehicles. Awesome set by the way.

Thank you! Without going into too much detail, I can say that specific cars were not manufactured here. This place was used to manufacture and supply certain parts to other companies in the industry.

Interesting, that actually makes a lot more sense now. Thanks.

cool looking place!

You are so good at composition! And the lighting really conveys the mood.

I love #4 and #11...just something about them. Would totally buy a poster.

Thank you! While the thought of a poster does sound cool, I don't think these shots would fare too well on larger prints since they were done on a cellphone.
