All things underground, forbidden, inaccessible, or abandoned. Pics, maps, secrets, people, history.

FORUM RULE: NO LOCATION SPECIFICS IN COMMENTS, ONLY BY PM.

Feel free to share specific locations (e.g. entry points, names of sensitive places) by PM, but not in posts or comments. Of course this does not apply to what's on outside links.

This rule is not out of bloody-minded elitism, but to prevent destructive hosers from finding places too easily and trashing them. Remember that reddit is indexed by search engines.

And please, please, don't steal. It's not cool and you make us look bad.

Please avoid posting "Anyone know any places to explore in ___?" You would be much better off asking your local subreddit, google or other resources like uer.ca to find them.

A highly recommended primer: http://www.infiltration.org/aaa.html

Please consider crossposting pictures to:

If you go exploring, please

  • look but don't touch
  • leave places as you found them
  • don't steal shit
  • try not to disturb the neighbors, be an idiot, or generally do anything that might ruin it for others
  • be safe

Abandoned trailer, long exposure night photo with light painting (OC)

Our K-Mart Lazarus Pod

This made me think that this could have been a camper somehow appearing in the movie "Interstellar", maybe on Miller's Planet. To create this night photo, I set the camera on a tripod. I opened the camera shutter for a long time. While the shutter was open, I walked around with a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light capable of producing different colors, and illuminated the scene with warm white and purple light. During the exposure, all the light I shined on the subject was cumulative. This process is called "light painting". Why? Because one uses the flashlight as a paint brush, "brushing" on light, not paint. Light painting to illuminate subjects is a beautiful, addictive art, as you can walk around the scene, deciding what to bring to light and what to keep in shadow. And it's more fun than AI-generated images. This was photographed while Tim Little and I were teaching a night photography workshop at Nelson Ghost Town in Nevada. This photo shows the movement of stars over 26 minutes of time. Comet Mobile Homes, Coffeyville, KS.
