Ok so this is my first report and also one of my first proper explores.
Built in 1909 the school was in use until I believe 2007 when it closed.
There was a time where they were looking to turn the land into flats but still it’s standing.
Hopefully the pics are to standard.
Overall was a little bit creepy with a dog starting to bark when I was down The far end.
Luckily it wasn’t security and more than likely in a nearby back garden that overlooks the site.
Only managed to explore one half as other part was not accessible.
Next on the list the hospital.

Nice 1st report. Welcome to 28 dl. I agree with Scoobs, that toilet shots is great. Like your take on the place

Thanks for the feedback
Got a few more locations stored and the new lens arrives in a few days lol (sigma 150-600 if anyone cares)
Got one explore I’m keen to do but part occupied and heavy security presence on lower floors with the top ones all abandoned
Maybe one day

You'd be better off with a Wangle.

I just brought a new sigma 10-20mm, haven't used it yet. Good luck with your new lens. I think Oort means wide angle? but im not a photographer lol

 

[Lord Oort]

Yes, a wide angle.

 

[Riddler118]

Yes, a wide angle.

Lol
I’m not down with the lingo but considering g the sigma art as my next but after saving some pennies

As above great first effort.
I use sigma 150-600c for my wildlife pics,
Great lens for price, not as crisp or quick focusing as the Canon items sure but that's the difference if u pay 3k

I had to really look at that picture to make sure I was seeing correctly lol
