:D

WOW very cool pics :) Where is that and what is that ??

truly an ill location

looking awsome!! :thumbsup

Powerstation, in Queensland Australia. Super, super cool.
It had siamese cats living in the cooling stacks :D

I still am truly amazed every time I see your pictures... one day I hope to be able to get the clarity, detail and amazing quality that you are able to produce every single time.

Thank you :)

Simply amazing snap shots man

quantum-x i love you

now if you take requests... may i suggest abandoned stores/houses

just an idea.... would be cool as hell :thumbsup

awesome picture quality, thanks for sharing!

:smokin

now that is pimp

where/what is it?

fucking awesome pics! i thought people here only shoot nude girls lol. do you have online portfolio/photoblog?

3rd from the top would make an awesome desktop background.
Nice stuff :thumbsup

Old coal powerstation.
Comissioned 1973, decomissioned 2002.
Demolition started May 2005 through to June 2006.

40m high (~125ft) boilers.
139m high (~325ft [?]) stacks.

Awesome place. The cooling towers are totally wooden, and house a family of cats..
There are generators lying askew, their carapaces removed or dismantled.
Most of it is still lit by struggling fluros, and wires dangle around every corner. From the roof, you can see the old cooling lake, now half-dry, and another smaller station, and a steaming gas plant across another lake....

I have a site that I stopped updating about 2 years ago :|

I've been meaning to get something else up ;)

fucking awesome

do you have the first pic in a wallpaper size ?

would look cool on my desktop

Sure ;)
Houses are kinda hard.. too small for me to get excited ;)
I'll keep my eye out for you though. Might even have a few in my 'personal' collection :D

Should be big enough.

great thanks :thumbsup

nice stuff bro ;-)

Insane pics man!

Which cam/lens you've been using?

/me guesses Canon 1Ds and Canon 15mm fisheye

Ok, so it wasn't totally a guess...

real nice pics man they have a spooky feel to them

outstanding stuff

You should go to Detroit or Russia for more wicked photoshots :p

I love your photog skills.
Always inspiring to look at.

awesome pics as usual :thumbsup

very cool photos, intersting location! :thumbsup

i have nothing to add..

beautiful

awesome pics!!!

That is really amazing. Totally unique. I love the mild fisheye effect, seems perfect for that location.

The really phenomenal thing about this work is that if I would have walked in, I probably never would have thought it would have made such great photography.

Very nice.

You are an amazing photographer. Simply stunning detail and clarity in those shots.

where are the tits

Do you shoot at mainly indstrial locations?

I'd love to see shots of something like the european cathedrals or other forms architechture.

i thought chernobyl was still radioactive :)

Awesome stuff, as always. :)

crazy photography, totally cool :thumbsup

Oh I'm working on Russia. Also working on not getting myself killed whilst in Russia. :|

As for just industrial shots - mainly, as it's what really excites me. That said and done, I've got a bunch of Paris catacombs, a few church / travel / castle photos as well. Basically I just snap what I know I can take a good photo out of :D

Thanks for all the comments, glad you like :)

Like always, awesome stuff. Do you carry along lighting equipment?

Usually the only lighting I'll carry is two flashes, which I'll use to paint if it's pitch black.
Most of the times, and especially in this scenario.. you don't have the time or space to lug and setup gear. Most of the challenge is to make do w/ available light.. and I like that - the lastshot is 8 minutes long, hence the star trails :)

I really like the last one with the stars and the smoke stacks.

Damnit i'm about ready to chip in for a ticket for you to come to NYC and hang out with me and Julia of DarkPassage man!

That's cool..I remember those pics you posted the last time around, in the tunnel or what ever it was.. You had some little buckets with lights in them. So it had me thinking maybe you used some back up lighting.

Damn 8 mins for that one shot?

Amazing pictures as usual. :thumbsup

Ah man.. I was going to send you a link to the thread :)

I'm planning on heading over hopefully this year. I'm heading up through Hong Kong, Japan, then hopefully bouncing to the states thereafter. With a bit of luck, I'll hit up NY. So much to explore, so little time.

Have you seen the abandoned theme parks & 'gunship island' from Japan?

great work as always buddy :thumbsup

how long do you spend on the average per shot? you get it right first take?

Nope, but there are plenty of abandoned themeparks in New Jersey!
