Okay, imho if you actually don't notice that it is a HDR, it's a good HDR (I don't like that 'We-can-do-HDR' stuff where one tries to create a HDR out of nearly every scene which is not really suited for HDR).
Did you create the HDR by Hand? Or used specialized software for that? (Besides Photoshop *G*)

Usually it's tried to visit last weekend but the cops said nope!
I tend to like shooting indoors in the rain or when it's really cloudy out.
Makes for great lighting, no blow outs...
What's your camera of choice???
Grove and Forest Haven's been on my list of places to go for a few years now.
Is the psychopathic building still up?

I would have still gone, but there's climbing involved (wouldn't be good when wet) and I specifically wanted some exterior shots too. A agree though, UE in the rain is pretty neat.
I use a micro 4/3 camera for it's smallness and light weight. I have the Lumix GF1. I mainly use the Olympus 9-18mm and the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 for my urbex stuff. It stows away in a small crumpler bag and doesn't need a huge tripod. http://www.flickr.com/photos/311176.....n/photostream/
Went to Forest Haven a few weeks back, HUGE place. It's getting pretty well known though, and in a few years it'll be the next Henryton.

My GF1 is about to have its first birthday! It's a great little camera. I use it so much more than the SLR I had before.
UE is becoming a bit too popular for its own good. Things get beat up quick, but I'm glad just to have to opportunity so see these places before they're gone.

I'm not either. The HDR fad has turned me off from experimenting too much. There's a definite line that separates a "tasteful" HDR from a "make everything look like a toxic wasteland" HDR. I try to do them as subtly as possible, albeit sometimes it can be hard when dealing with such a wide range of contrast as in this shot. The GF1 is limited in the DR department, so bracketing (which is also limited) is sometimes the only way to recover highlights.
When I first looked at it, at a glance, I saw it was real. Then I took a phonecall and looked at it again and it looked like a really good photoshop (type program thingy). I have to say, The picture does look to good to be true. How do you capture them on film?
I know that around Chicago, the old coal-fired Fisk, Crawford, and State Line power plants are all scheduled for decommissioning. I'll have to go in there when I have the chance...or that old coke plant on the South Side...I really need to do more of this, heh.
It's really all about the lighting and timing, getting the shot with the ideal sun angle and weather...and sometimes it's just luck. *humbly offers you something in return* http://www.furaffinity.net/full/6658603/
