Yep, the location is most likely pretty obvious as this is a very well known site. Hope you enjoy the photos, regardless
I had the privilege of meeting a veteran member of these forums and of urban exploring yesterday and he convinced me to post a few pictures of the trip. Glad to have made a new friend through these forums.
Sadly, this location is under fire! Contractors are on site and construction is likely about to begin. They have started to clear areas, that not but a few months ago, were well forested. There are also loads of mobile home structures that have been placed there for the contractors and construction crew. Word on the street is a prison, which oddly enough is the type of location I attempted this weekend, unsuccessfully. Since my partner and I walked away empty handed from the attempted break-into prison, we decided to visit this nearby site again, only to find far more activity than our last trip to the location. Not sure how much longer it will be completely viable.
These images were shot with a 5D M III with an l-series 24mm 1.4f. I subscribe to a minimalist approach when editing in RAW. I want to maintain the realism and I try not to make emits that detach from that, even if they "pop" more.
