I like the relatively uncomplicated architecture etc ☺

I like these a lot ☺

That's the first on on north island then there is the second on south island 😀

Hello and welcome ☺

There used to be a series called 'Worlds Greatest Motorcycle Rides' it covered New Zealand - I don't ride but watched it hoping one day to drive similar routes.

If you can track it down on tinterweb it may provide some inspiration

Edit: I located it on YouTube - the New Zealand episodes appear to be there😀

Hi Alistair

Whilst I tend to avoid people shots it may well be difficult to incorporate them into shots of decay, challenging for you and helping my intention to avoid people in my shots 😐

My thinking is to avoid hdr as I too am not a fan - textures, decay, rust etc all have possibilities.

I intend to visit, if possible, less well known places and then try to expand from there.

I want to avoid the overdone almost cliché places such as the abandoned hospital in Denbigh, however, it has also occurred to me that it may be good practice to try that sort of thing and then apply what I learn to other locations.

Andrew (Bwlchmawr) recently posted images including Porth Wen, Anglesey which has now been placed on my list as such.

It should be relatively easy to access abandoned farms and buildings near here, would there be issues for you on your area?

With so many urban regeneration projects going on I guess inner city 'decay' may not be so easy to find in the near future.

I am very much in the early stages of this but will throw some ideas around as and when if that is OK with you☺

Regards


Stu

I have also been looking into this to include this on my to do list 👍

I have spotted a number of possible locations relatively local to me so these are unlikely to help and I am only just starting to look into this, however, I have had some success finding locations with web searches for images of urban decay and then wondering if I could take a look myself. 😀

I know this is hardly original but at least it's a start.

Are you at the same sort of stage?

Nice shots there Andrew

I often take nly one lens out - I just got into the habit, I think it may well have stopped me buying more lenses

Cracking shots there ) the title sounds painful )

The 20-40 is one of those nearly lenses for me - I keep 'nearly' buying one but then keeping the cash instead.

I decided to go for the sigma 10-20 and then the 20-40 I just haven't got the second one yet.

Looking at these may push me into it next time there is an offer

Nice shots Adrian 😀

The water in shots 4,5 and 6 looks fantastic ☺
