 I went for the first time into this building yesterday, which was a scary experience. I took some pics then, but returned today to the same place, only with a model.
It's the only abondoned building I know of in my neighbourhood and of course I couldn't drive somewhere else. Little me.
The building is huge. Near the harbour and a place where the hobos and drug addicts often stay at.
No this isn't a hobo or a drug addict, only my good friend írb3h.

I used my 50mm f/1,8 standing on a tripod. Basic photshop work was done, just some contrast boosting, curve work , crop and the b&w convertion which I did in the channel mixer.

I rated this as one of my highest for the challenge. I think it was underrated overall.

Wow neat shot, I like how the sun is shinging in on the building. The only thing that i dont like is that if the building is abandoned then why is there a person in it? Otherwise nice shot
