Tonight has been mad awesome. Climbed a tower then climbed the crane on top of the tower overlooking central London. So much height. Also sneaking around like Sam Fischer in Splinter Cell with people all round but nobody any wider as to the explore going on mere feet away..

Anyway, I have no fear of heights and got straight to the good stuff, photos.

One of 3 things, RF kit, self timer or one of the other guys who are with you - In this shot one of the other guys as I forgot the wireless remote but remembered the wired remote (hence timelapse!) :D

When up there you could feel the wobble of the crane, wind speed was 13kmh up there according to the crane instruments panel. We were at the top where the balancing weights are and standing on the weights to get perspective. If your shutter speed is fast enough (say 1 second) then you don't tend to get much (if any) shake in the photos. The timelapse was 1s shot every 5 seconds which seemed to work out quite well.

It always makes me laugh when people try to claim some sort of political/social stance to trespassing. At the end of the day it's just bragging rights in that circle of friends/photographers/'explorers'.

What I've always wondered is do people get prosecuted when they post photos of themselves trespassing? If someone posts video of themselves speeding, they get done if they can be traced. If you trespass and host the image yourself on your own webspace, tracking you down would be a non issue.

Cheers! Colour looks ok but I wasn't a fan of the clouds as stitching caused them to look funny in colour.

There's no criminal activity being committed though which is the main thing here. At best, even on an MOD site, you just get escorted off, the rest of the time security are reading a magazine or eating a burger or watching TV in their huts none the wiser.

I know a lot of these explorers go to such places because it's a thrill and the pictures speak for themselves and these are pictures nobody else will be easily able to get either but it's not all positive stuff as there are also explorers who go to places to steal stuff and sell later on or ruin access for anyone else later. In all groups with all things, not just photography, there are a small minority putting a bad name out for that group. Urban Exploration is just one in a mix of many!
