Photo’s are amazing! The ones with the red hearts, just do something for me :( It’s like a community is gone… sorta reminds me of that Will Smith movie :)

Very cool to stumble across this! I'm a Canadian recently landed in Belgium, and I don't believe my Belgian boyfriend even knows about this (or perhaps he's afraid to mention it to me because he knows I have a love for exploring and photographing abandoned structures.) Cheers and hello! Jessicas last blog post... Quickish Update:

I'm glad you joined a club! Especially to check out abandoned buildings, because they can be very hazardous and there's definitely safety in numbers. Tanya learned it as WISE, I learned it as WIFE (white balance, ISO, focus, exposure). WISE makes much more sense to remember, maybe, since focus is generally a given -- not something to try and remember. Gail at Larges last blog post... Pastafarian Dinner

Wow, what an eerie, yet interesting place to visit! I always wonder why these places are left the way they are, like who went to the trouble of moving the bathtub then left it in the middle of the room half on its side? And the half torn apart kitchens... presumably there is a lot of vandalism, judging by the graffiti (some of which were amazing pieces of art!), but it's still odd that people would leave their own houses with other, more portable things still inside. Great pics, glad you had fun :-) Nicolas last blog post... Theme is a theme is a theme

When I took a photo course, they guy told me before every picture to make sure I was WISE – which meant to check 4 things:

White Balance
ISO
Size
Exposure

That might help a little.
