Here is an old school that was vacated in 2009. I plan to get more pictures during daylight hours of better quality. It's a similar situation to another location I've mentioned not too long ago. I usually scout these places out at night time because that's just when I'm more comfortable. No I don't have night vision it's just an aqua-blue flashlight that's being rendered as green by the camera. I built it because it is dimmer. Not the best color for the job though lol. I plan to build a version in 565nm and in 700nm (yellowish-green and red).

If your uncle Jack were stuck on a roof. And he asked for your help. Would you help your uncle Jack off?

The first photo has a really unique vibe. Cool set!

I'd definitely do some light painting here too if I were you

I don't know how to light paint... I remember a long time ago I had a cheap Vivitar camera and if I shook it around enough while taking pictures the lights would turn into swirling streaks...

That auditorium is sick. Can't wait to see it in the daytime. Nice find.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Ah fair enough. It's definitely a really cool thing to do if you get the camera for it. I believe even an iphone has some decent long exposure on it.

Either case, looking forward to more pictures

Good stuff, that pool shot is pretty cool, and that's a nice looking auditorium. Can't wait for those daytime shots, looks like a sweet explore! Thanks for sharing. 😊

That auditorium reminds me of an old school that was in a bad neighborhood in philly.


OP, very cool location!

That's a cool find. In near-perfect condition 11 years later, power still on, but then you have stuff like #5 (6?). Definitely a unique location.
