Monochrome Monday: Abandoned
Abandoned walls in Lisbon (click for large image)
I’ve always been fascinated with photography of abandoned places. Abandoned places are everywhere in the world but unfortunately the places usually are not safe for touristic purposes and closed for public. I have doubt that we could enter these places without permits. When I traveled to Lisbon (Portugal), I saw few empty buildings with scattered walls. My mind ran wild, thinking these places were abandoned places with odd things inside 🙂
Have you seen unique abandoned places? Perhaps one of these places as listed in Bored Panda – 31 Haunting Images of Abandoned Places?
indahs: dive, travel & photography 
Hello, Mbak Indah. Your blog is so beautiful! You share a lot of brilliant photographs. I’m into photography, but I don’t know much about photography techniques. And I take pictures mostly using my phone camera, does this count as photography? 😀
Thank you so much Icha! You are always welcome to visit this blog :), truly an honor to have you here. Pakai bahasa Indonesia saja ya? Capek juga pakai bahasa Inggris terus 😀 Menurutku sih, bisa banget kamera dari smartphone sebagai medium fotografi. Yang paling utama dari fotografi tersebut sebenarnya image yang bisa menarik perhatian, menyentuh dan pastinya dinikmati oleh publik terlepas medium-nya. Hanya bedanya kalau kamera dari smartphone biasanya otomatis setting-nya, sementara kamera biasa punya setting manual. Jadi tantangannya berbeda 🙂
Agree, Mbak. Aku jadi makin semangat buat belajar photography, pake smartphone ataupun dslr. 😊
Hi Indah, love your angles and composition, they do make the abandoned places you capture are dramatic in monochrome. Love your insting, curiosity, and information for capturing such objects.
Thank you so much! It is always a pleasure to have you here 🙂 Hope you are having a great weekend!
What’s fascinating is that they all have a hidden story. Abandon gold mining towns are a good place for deserted buildings.
I agree with you Mallee! I have never been to gold mining towns, that must be a fascinating place for such photography 🙂
I just love your photographs, color or B&W, on land, in water. And I like old abandoned places, too, and always photograph them. Don’t know why. I like doors, too.
Thank you so much! Hahaha, I like doors too, some doors are unique – actually I have plenty images of doors (and windows) as well. Maybe someday we should post something about doors 😀
Yeah…I love it. Doors and windows R us! Maybe we could also add garden hoses and lawn ornaments.
A complete full house! 😀 😀
beautiful and great textures 🙂
Thank you so much Joshi!
each photo has such a unique feel – and the energy ion the third one is my fav – but they are also great in monochrome – adds to the mood.
Thank you Yvette! I agree, the monochrome tone helps to bring the uniqueness of such subjects. Oh, I wish to see more of abandoned places to take pictures of!
🙂
Those are freaking scary! No I haven’t been.. and uh.. not try to be in .. !

Be Bettr, Stay Bettr! 🙂
