Description A 30 second exposure. Taken in the basement of an abandoned house out in the boonies. - 2006

Now, lurking in decrepit basements, taking photos, has become a pastime lately. Gives a thrill that one must experience in order to describe it.

-Generally labelled 'Urban Exploration', this photo is more along the lines of 'Rural Exploration'.

...I think Edgar Allan Poe would like this one. You think? ...Perhaps just the title, then.

...*crickets*... Oh, piffle... -just look it up.

likey, likey. the composition on this is great...love how the right side is truncated with that skewed perspective...adds to the menacing feel of the piece. great work!

Thanks, 'Manda! I'm working on changing my range of exposure times... after all that's what a tri-pod is for!

The quality of light is outstanding, combine that with the very clever balancing of the three objects within the frame....and...well...you have a great photograph. Good job

The lighting does it all. The contrast will the unseen that surrounds us in the dark....a point of reference,the safe zone, the escape hatch.....as long as the light is there...we feel safe. Janet

Oh, I spend loads of time skulking around in dark, delapidated, cloistered quarters. But no one knows I have my camera.. hehehee.

You psycho-bum, you.

I like this very much. There's something about those colors and lighting that just drives me wild.

Erm, sure! If not within the next twenty minutes, then certainly by this evening. I hope I won't be too late, since I'm planning on being gone most of the afternoon, and I have class in about half an hour.

But, no, it will get up today.
