I think that monkey in the seat is definitely the weirdest thing we've found exploring.

Agreed
March 2011 at an abandoned state school in Massachusetts.
Here are some shots from inside one of the dorms.

Always wanted to do urban exploration myself, I'd especially love to visit a disused London Underground station (I know the London Transport Museum used to do tours but thanks to Health and Safety and security threats they don't anymore), it'd be so interesting I think. Looks like that school was an interesting place to visit!
There's an abandoned NYC station I'd love to visit as well.
The school was pretty average, but the tunnels are still accessible.
There was a tub smack in the middle of a bathroom though....
I know :-( We can unfortunately cross Belchertown off the list. It's pretty active getting cleaned up. We missed our chance at the old movie theater in East Hartford. Gotta do some searching. There is an abandoned hospital not far from center Tralee I have yet to check out.
Yeah it's amazing to think that you're in one of these tube stations - busy, crowded, lots of people about, but behind some doors at the top of the escalators are there are two immaculate disused platforms, quiet with nobody on them. Amazing really!voyagerfan99 said:
Guys have you heard about the 28 Days Later forums? It's an interesting forum to just flick through and read - it's full of photos that people have taken whilst out on urban exploration.

Note all photos I have been edited. They came out a bit under-saturated so I increased the saturation and virance in Photoshop.
I had a Fujifilm S1500 and it had the same problem. The photos where under-saturated and dull. Even still it was a great camera. If you like that Fujifilm get a Panasonic DMC-FZ35 or similar. The Panasonic SLR like's are just awesome cameras. I had an FZ8 and even though it was a few years older then my S1500 and only 7mp it blew the Fujifilm out of the water, in picture quality and performance

So you held the film to the cat and it magically recorded the image on itself? Or did you take the picture with a film camera?shot with film
"I took this photo with a memory card"
Did you ever find a way to get around having dull and under-saturated photos with the Fuji? I've found that personally shooting in 4:3 gives you a better photo than shooting in 16:9 does, so I am going back to shooting in 4:3 to see if the photo quality gets better. Maybe I am just using the wrong settings? I'm not sure? I used SP Mode Scenic for the photos above, and then of course I edited them. I can upload the originals if you want so you can compare.Fatback said:
One other thing, the photos always look so much better on the camera screen than they do on my LCD. :/ Think this is kind of the case for most cameras though.
I know they are! My Dad has an DMC-FZ8 (I think? something like that?) and the photo quality of this 4-5 year old bridge camera is very good.Fatback said:

I sold mine for money to by my first DSLR. It was a good trade off I think
No I always had to do some editing to get the saturation to where it actually looked good. Yeah the reason it looks better on the camera LCD is because it's so much smaller. It's pretty much the same with any camera. I never trust what I see on the LCD of my camera. Yeah I love the Panasonic bridge cameras some of the best IMO.

I keep it in my camera bag in case I don't or can't drag my 50D out, and my brother sometimes uses it.
I find that using the manual settings will often get you a better photo than using the automatic or preset settings will. Using the manual settings, I have gotten some fairly decent photos using the S4000 (look back through the last few pages of this thread).Fatback said:
That's what I thought. :/ Just on the S4000 they look a lot better on the camera LCD than they do on my monitor, a lot better. :/Fatback said:
I like my S4000, but ever since I got it I haven't ever been too pleased by the image quality, I've always been disappointed, especially as this camera cost over £150. For that kind of money I was expecting more. I am going to a Mini car show tomorrow, and I will take the S4000 and my Dad's Panasonic, and we'll see what the image quality is like between the two.Fatback said:
