Definitely not one of the most interesting visits in the world compared to some of the fantastic reports on this site but as my first one I think it went pretty well.
So first of all Hi everyone,
I am a Derbyshire based Photographer / Videographer and I have always had an eye for Urbex I have never really known where to start though.
As this site was fairly local I thought I would give it a go...
So to start off with the weather wasn't great I didn't really know how we were going to get in but I guess that is half the fun.
We parked nearby and the took a little walk up to see if there was any entrance via the field to the right,
I initially sent my drone up as well to see if we could see any gaps in the fence (this ended up being quite successful and got a decent photo)
I know this has been reported on many a time so I won't but background info but please see photos below - Let me know what you think of the HDR I think I went overboard on a few photos but would be good to get some feedback,
in terms of what site is next - I went to the Milford Mills but car wash was closed so going back next week and I also got into the Flo Selecta but it was pretty deep from all the rain so we are also going back next week - anyone got any recommendations as to where I can go near to Derby (happy to drive further)
Finally... Photos -
Here is the Drone shot I mentioned - Fairly happy with this - did some minor editing and increased shadows / midtones
Crazy how tall these are, you get a real sense of vertigo looking up
It was difficult to fit all the towers in (I was using a 16-35mm
The iconic shot, dont know if the graffiti compliments this or...
Anyone know what these are they were scattered around each tower
All in all for my first time I think this was alright... some of the shots did feel rushed due to the fact we were sure someone had seen us going in (me and one other)
as I say if anyone does have any recommendations as to where I can go next that would be great,
Cheers!
