Old fremantle power station, Western Australia

[photomill]

I hit an old power station for a look around on the weekend with a few friends, was heaps of fun. A bit eerie in the under ground maze of rooms in pitch black but was worth the walk. Amazing the new lives these old dinosaurs take on after dark.

nice work, all good and the Peleng worked a treat on #4 and the ones on your site....the others there are very good too. I like to roam disused buildings too and this looks like a great spot for a variety of subject matter.

its an interesting place for sure, Id love to do a car shoot in the main building.

Found the Peleng a bit too wide though so going to try it with a Tamron 1.4x tele converter for the next building shoot. Should work out as 11mm and sharp into the corners.

Those are great shots, I wish there was a place like that where I could go to get some eerie night time shots. I like the second one, with how that guy is just sort of taking his time exploring and looking around at everything

I really like the last one nice job thanks for sharing....

Very nice shots, I think they could scout this locale for the next post apocolyptic Mad Max movie...:)

Looks like you had a grand time there! The stairs shots are my favorite. It must have been really eerie taking photos there.

Thanks for the comments, was quite eerie. Big 6 foot lights poles would drop from the roof every so often creating a loud bang. Had to keep looking up to make sure nothing fell on you!
