Urban Locations

scotteisenphotography · 30th of September 2007 (Sun)

I really, really love shooting in places that are closed/abandoned and what not. Is there a website that lists places like this. That would be really cool. If anyone knows of one, please put it here. There are sites like "http://www.urbanized.us/" but they dont tell locations

I just park and walk around town. Then I get a girl and take her to the places I've found.
I don't think there will be a website for that

ALTHOUGHT MOST DO IT FOR THE FUN OF DOING IT AND NOT FOR THE POTOGRAPHY.

I think this site could be a tremendous resource. Post in urban that you'll be in a certain area and would like location help. Bet some might even offer to help you get around. I know a fellow POTN'er that's going to be in my town later this month and we are planning on doing some shooting together since he doesn't know his way around here. I'd start by posting in urban then seeing what happens from there.

I don't know of any websites, but if you have kids, or are young ask around. Most older teens know about these kinda of places. Make sure you are careful wherever you go. You never know what kind of animals or people may be there. And watch your footing!
