Nice. I've always loved shots that are a bit more industrial. Like abandoned warehouses and such. Subways make for a interesting mix of both lighting and that industrial concrete feeling. I personally would love to see more shots like this. The only things I usually find are abandoned sections of buildings, old railway cars, and empty parking garages to shoot in. On occasions I have a friend that likes to rebuild floors of buildings into studios, so I get a shot or two of a half stripped floor with its piping exposed, the dust illuminating from the early morning or late evening light, with concrete pillars holding it all together.

I love industrial photography, but because of school I haven't been able to do as much of it.

Awesome shot. Love the amount of empty space in it.

Wish I could find a abandoned subway to stand non intensively in and take abstract lonely pictures of

Come to Rochester. c:

Make Me : O * wiggles butt at*

8[ Careful with that thing, you'll poke an eye out.

...

Ooo cool, I still haven't had the chance to go down there, was it awesome?

It was quite awesome. You should totally go.

omg fuckin awsome spot!!!

have to visit there

You totally should, you'd love it down there.

LOL

i knowww its like a punks enviroment hahaha

if you do come hang out with me im in ny LOL

I know a guy that rode a dirtbike through there and scared the shit out of a lot of people =D

That sounds like amazing fun. xD

I want this on my wall.

I could sell you a print if you wanna buy via paypal. >>

hmm, as enticing as that does sound I don't have too much money right now. Everythi9ng I make is going towards a photography intensive this summer, but after that perhaps i will have some money to spare!

Sounds good. x3

This is too amazing.
There is nothing over here
in Texas like this.
=/

Glad you like. c:

I'm sure Texas has some interesting photo opportunities.

I do,
very much :]


And I've tried looking.
Everything has either been demolished,
or off limits.
=/

Haha, all the good photos come from places that are off limits.

This place has no trespassing signs all over it.

ohh,
haha i do enter off limits.
but the access to get in is well
very hard.
xD

Usually Bared wire, guard dogs,
extra security.

You see me running with this huge
camera in my hands.
x3

Sometimes it's worth it though.

Oh,
so very true.

Only until I come home,
with a $300 ticket.
My parents would think otherwise lol.

Eww.

Well said.

That's just too awesome. Wish there were things like this near where I live.

Thanks, glad you like. c:

Why is it to me that stuff like this looks so beautiful, but when I see a flower and stuff like that ..I really don't care.

Flowers are too easy to find.

ah Rochester for some reason I was screwing that up with Rensselaer. Nice shot you should venture deeper into that tunnel.

What a waste, that station looks like it could be used again too. :(

Yeah it's too bad really, Rochester used to be a very bustling city and it's slowly dying.

THats tight

Thanks x3

wow I can use this for some art direction

Feel free, just credit me c: And I'd love to see it.

No joke, I came across this not 20 minutes after drawing an abandoned subway XD
Very nice *nod* I like how the light sweeping through makes it look kinda misty

x3 awesome.

Thanks.

holy crap, I've been there before. I was gonna say "uh... this looks like my subways" :D haha I've got almost this exact shot, but lost it. You rock

:0

You from Rochester?

yeah I'm from right here. I go back there as often as I can

Wow. That's all I got. Makes me wish I had a wide-screen monitor.

Epic pic! would love to know what your camera stats are! unless this is shopped slightly x3x

Actually this is a straight shot, no photoshop editing.

f22, 2 second exposure, Nikon D3, 20mm, natural light.

ah your camera is just wicked! caught the ambiance of everything very well <3

Thanks for posting ^3^

Haha, unfortunately I don't own it, it's just the camera that was used. I rent cameras specific to the project I'm working on, whichever I feel would be best. I'd absolutely love to own one someday though, it's a beast of a camera.

That is super cool! I didn't know there were old subways under there...
I have heard that there are also abandoned subways in Erie, Pa.

Thanks!

Makes me think of how Eerie it would look at night. 0.o

Id Love to check it out. 8D

Nice Quality on the Photo :3

It's pretty cool down there, it's pitch black where the sun isn't shining through.

And thanks. c:

This got an immediate fave! I love photography in abandoned ares especially old chemical plants. My friend has about 20 pics of him in an old chemical processing facility. It's very scary. You did a great job on this, the quailty is excellent. Next time I go to Rochester I will make sure to go there and take some pics during the day. At night I'd use a video camera and shoot a video

Thanks, glad you like. :3 If you go down there just don't get caught!

I'll try not too! Let me guess, you are arrested or sumfing? It must be private property or sumfing

I doubt they'd actually arrest you, probably just tell you to leave. But you're not really supposed to be down there.

ah, well, that won't stop ME!!! Goodnight

Perfect place for filming one of those Doomsday type movies... Nice pic.

Thanks

This picture's ridiculously awesome. Kudos!

Thanks!

No fair... I love photographing places like that, and I almost never get a chance.

Just have to keep an eye out

Cities have lots of interesting places

ITS SO CLOSE TO 420 VIEWS.
my day had been made.

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/.....s/Picture2.png I STOLE IT

YESSSSS.

we should chill sooner than friday. CUZ THE VAPORIZER COMES MONDAYYY. :D

Interesting, I live in Middletown NY. Where in Rochester is this? Im a photographer as well, I just dont post photography here.

Where in Rochester? Well the subways go under the entire city... one of the entrances that I know of is near the Dinosaur BBQ.

Yeah, thats what I meant. Thanks :)

Nice photography :D

Thanks! :3

Oh, god that is just fantastic. You're such a good photographer :3
IT IS AWESOME.

Thanks! <3

<:0 how is this not in my faves?

It looks pretty but I expected it to be a drawing,when it's real it's a bit scary.o_O
I'd be nervous to go there incase bad people where there, I mean i'm a girl so the scenarios are a bit different but um cool pic.XP

It's not too bad down there. x3 Bums live there at night but during the day it's pretty safe. Just teenagers smoking weed or painting the walls.

cool shot -

Thanks~

I also enjoy visiting such places
has a peek -

Ahh, cool I like. :3 I love using models in places like these.

Now THAT is awesome. Such nice lighting and everything

Thanks. :3

Like a piece from a dream; pic so very kicks tail! Thanks for sharing! ^-^

Thanks, glad you like it. :3

So awesome. The human element = win too, a lot of people forget how much a person can add to a photo. o.o

Yeah I like to include a model of some kind in my location photos if I can, even if it's just a silhouette.

I think the fact that it is more of a silhouette just adds to the overall feel of the picture.

Thanks. :3

This is now the wallpaper for my private SHOUTcast server PC ^^
It wasn't watermarked so I added one with your FA-link on in case anyone sees it and wants to find the photographer :P

Ohh, thank you ^^

awesome pic

Thanks. :3

I know this might sound silly, but when I first seen this, I thought it was an artwork you spent your time on, but when I zoomed in on this picture, it shocked me
Nice photo by the way!^^

Haha thanks~

Your welcome^^

Dude! You're a fellow urban explorer!

Whereabouts in Rochester is this?? I haven't been in Rochester for over 20 years, but I drive past occasionally and I'd like to divert my trip to peek at this someday!

Yes c:

The main entrance is on South Ave. right next to the Dinosaur BBQ.

Cool, thanks! What exit off of I-90?

45

hey this picture is brilliant!
/me is an industrial freak >.>

Me toooo~

Looks like something that would be on an album cover. I like it.

Thanks. :3

wow great photo , all that light is fantastic . vary well done

Thanks :3

Hee., many I'm in rochester, NH xD look up rochester on weather.com.. there's a ton of rochesters I guess? xD

That is really cool looking.. o3o I wish we had abandoned subways (or subways in general xD) in the Rochester I live in *nodnod*

There's another Rochester? :0

Reminds me of Paradigm City from the Big O.

That is a great picture, thank you for posting...

Thanks. :3

nice work

I still love this picture, we should go explore sometime before i go back to school. <3

sorry about your camera, my dad told me its broken? D:

Nice photo dude. Really like the framing o,o

This is just flat out awesome.

That is a very nice photo

Rochester had a subway? Huh!

Makes me mad. I love rapid transit, and seeing machines and/or buildings operate as they should.

Awesome!

Hello new wallpaper :D

Thanks!

i love abandond things! its like your going back in time...but with more dirt and corosion X3

After all this time going back to this photo, I only now realize that I never favorited it. xD

The atmosphere in this is just utterly fantastic. I love the hazy quality to the light and the sihouetted figure combined with the desolation and ruin of the background. <3

Thank youu! <3 That place is a lot of fun to photograph in

No problem! =D

I actually have this as my desktop background on work[I have dual screens so it's on both] and EVERYONE who sees it always stops to look at the picture and talk about how much they like it[naturally all credit goes to you xD], but. There you have it; an engineering firm in Winnipeg loves your photo. <3

Hahaha, awesome xD I'll take it! Thanks again! <3

i am jealous

the best thing we had was a textile factory from the 70s that got torn down about a year ago



arkansas fucking sucks


this is an excellent shot. I didn't even know there were places like this; whole areas of the world forgotten and disused. pretty intense.

This could be my background in the near future :3

Oooh, fascinating! Similar places in Chicago...except not abandoned, heh. http://www.furaffinity.net/full/6658603/

Were you swarmed by homeless people in there? :\

I have in my personal pic files,a folder marked "after man" showing ruins and derelict buildings given over to vegetation and crumble. Some scenes are of Chernobyl, others I am unsure of. All the desolation of a post-apocalypse abandoned world.

There was a movie or book on earth,after the simultaneous disappearance of every human -forever. The Smithsonian had 3 pics of the desolation ;
(1) After a millenium, the WTC towers fall. (They actually fell already !)
(2) After 5000 years,the arch of St.Louis is torn asunder by a tornado.
(3) After a million years, Boulder Dam is whelmed by glaciers.

In all the pics I chose for my gallery, no humans appear. I wanted to preserve the illusion that mankind, rotten and sinful, is gone. Nature corrected a major mistake.
