What Do You Think To Urban Explorers?

What do photographers think to Urban Explorers?

Do they give photographers a bad name? Do you explore run down buildings yourself?

I don't have a problem with them so long as the building/area really is unused, is of actual interest, nothing is disturbed and no vandalism is created to gain entry.

Obviously safety is a big aspect too, they can't put anyone at risk.

Thanks

They suck, and they are idiots...

Just kidding, some of the best photos I've seen are from Urban Explorers.

I also take some "Urbex" shots and love them all (even though I'm not that good).

I just love the "story" behind the photos., specially when the photos are from abandoned hospitals or "ex-busy" factories.

I'd love to do more of it but I'm somewhat afraid of going alone into an abandoned buildings (cuz' there might be violent junkies or something like that and I don't fancy getting mugged).

+1 I'd love to go into some places i've seen, but the odds of getting mugged are 1000% so that's a big no... Plus any building here is probably already been ripped apart by junkies/thieves to get anything interesting besides walls :/

On a random note, My dream would be to take a couple of shots in Chernobyl, just imagining the desolation for miles miles !

Yea.

I didn't know you could get within 400m of the reactor. That's crazy!

Yeah they opened the whole thing to tourism recently, which is kinda sad :( It would be more fun if it was undisturbed and random epople could sneak in tehre. :p

Yeah, though looting has been reported in the area for a long time now, so I guess Tourism might bring in a little extra security.

    • Not ok - WINRAR   HAHAHAHAHAHAH 
    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
