TOP 3: Your Favorite 3 decay shots

view profile

Special is a group administrator Special  Pro User  says:

I'm interested in seeing what people feel are the best 3 urban decay shots they have taken, and perhaps why they feel that way.

When you decide on your favorite 3, please post the thumbnails in this thread. Here's how (for those who don't know).

----

To post an entry photo, follow these steps:

1. Go to that photo's individual page
2. click 'All Sizes'
3. Click 'Thumbnail'
4. Scroll to bottom of page and find the second box which says: Copy and
paste this HTML into your webpage.
5. Select the code and hit 'ctrl-c' (or edit -> copy)

Then you just reply here and paste the code into it. Please only post the thumbnail or square version of the photos. No need for the larger versions.

----
I'm doing this in most of the groups I admin (based on the particular theme) so apologies if you're in many of them and I am giving you a headache.

The Broken Wall

This is just a really neat looking wall I found in a downtown back alley.

Graffiti on Rust

This was also found in a back alley way. It's actually an old rusted garbage bin.

This is another photo of the same garbage bin.

Foxsong  Pro User  says:

I haven't had nearly as many opportunities to photograph this stuff as I'd like, but here are three faves...

1. Eastern State Penitentiary

easternstate219

This cell block wasn't open for the tour, but the doorknob was missing from the heavy wooden door, and I stuck my camera's lens into the doorknob hole and got one of my favorite pictures from the prison.


2. Eastern State Penitentiary

easternstate118

I love the painterly look of the lightfall across this cell wall. The lamp is just enough of a focal point.


3. Community Hospital of Western Suffolk

chws19

Broken safety glass in the round viewing window of an emergency room door. Taken on my first-ever urban-ex trip.

Thanks for looking! :-)

beautiful neglect


Keeping it out

These are my favorite 3 (that I have taken) I have a couple from an abandoned distillery that I am going back to. The "light painting" concept had crossed my mind; but I have never done it... when I go back I am going to 're-do' a few. Thanks for looking!!!

Decay can be dynamic and strong even though it may appear to never quickly change.

tritone-decay

Decay is about a change in state.

Decay reveals to us the future that is hidden.

i like the first one because it really give the picture the "creepy vibe" the place deserves.

the second picture was just a goof-around shot that turned out the be actually my favorite picture that i've taken inside an abandoned building.

i like the third one because it shows the comparison between old and new. that shed has been there for a long time, long before i was born, and yet i can only recall that sign being there only for a few months.
