I'd heard of Urbex. I knew what it was, and that a lot of the serious guys were pretty intense photographers. I didn't know how serious, and how cool some of them were. And now, I really, really want to try it. What inspired me? This. So definitely not my work, but so incredible at the same time.

Thoughts on Urbex, his photos, etc go in here.

I like the idea, but the excessive use of a fisheye lens is horribly cliché though at least one of the photos was taken with a rectilinear UWA lens. Are these your own photos then?

Not mine, I wanted to share them for inspiration. I haven't worked up the balls to scale a 50 story building and then a 100 foot crane just for the hell of it, nor scaled the brooklyn bridge. The fisheye is excessive, at points, but there are also places where he uses it and it really works, imo.

I find that using a Fisheye indoors or facing a building just overdoes the distrotion, but for scenes of nature it looks very nice. This is a pretty cool idea.
