Lots... sorry!



























































































































All shots taken with Canon 350D, Sigma 10-20mm, P mode, ISO 400, hand held.
Some HDR (landscapes especially).
And I want that barbers chair.

Nice pics Lani!!

At the same time a little creepy, how many abandoned shacks do you live by lol?

Thanks. Quite a few. These were all lined up on the same piece of property, being used as storage for a farmer apparently. I might take a trip up to Shreveport and the surrounding areas some time this week. 3-4 hour drive to get there, but I usually drive more on my regular trips. There are quite a few old schools up there.

Oh cool cool. Do you just sneak onto the property haha? Also, it is weird to me not seeing snow in the pics...

Guess that explains where you've been. /creepy stalker

Nice pictures. Slightly on topic, have you seen Pawn Stars? It's about a family owned pawn shop in Vegas. In a recent episode, they bought an old barber chair and had it restored.

Great job Lalani. Keep 'em commin!!

@Scott - I've been hiding.


Yeah, I really might find the owner of the place and ask to take that barber chair.. fix it up and it would probably be real comfy!

wow
....

yeah wow

Awesome but creepy

Yeah well.... you guys are creepy too.

i LOVE pawn stars!! But sometimes they low ball.

Beautiful, as always, Kim. That lens suits your eye, you capture some great stuff with it. Makes me want to go for a drive through the countryside.

a heads up: I will be requesting a hi-res version of one of your photos in the next few days for a background for the HD screen of my new laptop. I just have to pick one now!

the stroller creeps me out. reminds me of the movie session 9

The sky looks incredible in those pictures. Very nice photos!

Lani, oh lani. you need serious help. cause you never pos da boobz.

Amazing pictures! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks, Chris.

I'm loving that lens. I always had trouble composing shots in the horizontal/landscape format, but with this lens it's a little easier. And sure! Just let me know which pic you want.



When I first looked around the door, it looked like something was sitting in it.



Thanks, guys.

I love Americana photography.

My favorite is the old machine with the patent dates on it.

These pics are seriously way cool, there's a few I'd put on my wall.
I think these are my favorite of all you've posted. <3

Thanky.

i love the sky too. what kind of lens did you bring with you one this shoot?

Beautiful, as always,

Sky is thanks to HDR... It was a great cloud day for pics, woo! And I used the Sigma 10-20mm for all of those shots.


Thanks, Ned!

Nice work Lalani!

9th picture and the stroller......

very nice.....

Those photos make me scurrrred.

you should really watermark these

Thanks.


Haha, not nearly as creepy as my first trip to an abandonment... the hospital ward.


Meh, you know how easy it is to remove a watermark?

wow Lani, these shots are incredible... that sky put so much more into the compositions. The houses/shacks definitely stand on their own, but with the skyscape like that?? ....

brilliant

BOOBS!

Thank you.

fine. ignore me.

Have I ever mentioned that Cincinnati built subway tunnels back in the day, but never used them?

If not, here's some pics of the abandoned tunnels: http://www.mcflash.4000loavesanhour.com/QC...bandonedSubway/

The tunnels are pretty much complete: they run all throughout the city. Some have been filled-in though.

Oooh, no you didn't mention that before. Very cool! Would probably be fun to take a group of friends through it. I know a lot of ue people like to explore abandoned drainage tunnels and subways, but we of course don't have anything like that around here.

come to cincinnati

i'll give you a tour of the tunnels and take advantage of you in the dark

Hey I took a photo like this a long time ago:



Collapsed house at the top of the hills where I live.

Sounds good to me!


Sheesh, I usually avoid going into the places in such bad condition... only because I'm usually alone and it would be hard for anyone to find me under a collapsed building.

Been like that for years since I've been going up there. It might get a bit worse during a big rain, or earthquake, but people party all night inside of it. Had a buddy with me too =) What's cool is you can walk on the roof starting at the ground level, haha.
