I need only remember the episode of Lost that dealt with sweating dynamite to know how dangerous it can be.
I agree that caution must be used, as there are many different things that can be dangerous. Weak floors, rusty nails, people that don't like trespassers, animals, people living there(squatters, homeless people, etc.), heck even the house itself if it's decrepit enough!
They still look cool, though. The whole "haunted house" look and all that.
I was trying some darker atmosphere and attempting to catch the evening colours. What caught my
eye about this was the telegraph line on the tracks. It's been cut for years and the the posts have all
begun to lean as a result.
I like that pictures, Mark. The blueish tint gives it an almost other-worldly vibe. I also how the stoplights(which are green in your picture) almost have a neon-like effect to them.
I took this shot at dusk. This is the lift bridge below the Burlington skyway.
This is the pier into the Hamilton Harbour. I'm still working on my night technique. I got a few tips from
Durka, but I have a long way to go.
The channel between Lake Ontario and Hamilton Harbour.
Rule of thumb, throw in one cute doggy shot so the experts don't beat up on you too bad.
A refractory plant that closed years ago, but strangely there are still comings and goings.

I really like the first one, nice tonal range. B&W suits it nicely, good contrast to it.

Took this shot from my car window. I'm really starting to irritate the hell out of everyone.
Go Mark! Since you're into the editing end of things, you should try and get your hands on a copy of Adobe Lightroom. It's a cataloguing, editing, jackknife sort of app when it comes to dealing with RAW images imported from your camera. It has some great tools built in for converting to B&W, colour correction etc etc. I highly recommend it.
I've had some pretty good results editing with Arcsoft - one of those things that come with cheap cameras
Tried to take some shots of the moon tonight. They didn't work out but gave me a template for this.
Above and below: This old replica ship was set ablaze by vandals a few years ago. Now it is a rusting
hulk just outside St Catharines. It still makes for an interesting subject.
Sinking? This is not a bad camera angle. If you look at the foundation of the church you can see how
it has settled into the escarpment.
Orchard barn. This old barn sits in an apple orchard directly across the road from the church above.
Yeah I like doing black and whites. Here's a bit of colour to show the rust that is eating away at the vessel.
The top one is a really vibrant red rust. Is that actual or were you playing around with the image/colours? Either way, love the hue, it looks really cool.
I've always had a preference for black and white photos. For some reason they just seem to tell more of a story.
I increased the vibrancy on the top one a bit for sure. Maybe a bit too much now that I look at it.
I like the vibrancy. Adds to the eeriness of the image I think.
