Last time I posted a skyscraper urbex thread everybody was hating because they didn't think it was urbex.
Well the other night I went to another skyscraper in London, still under construction. Unfortunately it was raining quite heavily so it was unpleasant to be outside, plus I didn't want to get my camera wet.
All of the following were achieved without a tripod. I haven't bothered to edit any of them. Some of them aren't so good, others I really like the look of.

Post in the thread if you want full size versions of any of them.
CC welcome but don't bite my head off.
Those lights look awesome and the blur on the cars.
Loving the ones with the main street on the right, where the lights on the road make it seem to me like a crack through everything else.
Iiif you get my meaning,
I think you should use some sort of foreground sometimes. So not only capture what's 100m away, but also add something that is only 2m away. I see it it some photos but it doesn't seem like you really incorporated it into your composition.

Unfortunately it's a pitch black building site with (literally) nothing in it. I usually do put things in the foreground but without a tripod it's not easy.
Number nine is gorgeous, May I have the full res?
I'd like the full res for #9 as well. It's beautiful.
Here's #9: [url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/IMG_2638.JPG[/url]
Unfortunately it's not very crisp at full size.

Wow, these pictures show how alienated our society is. It's like we're mouses on a laboratory, living our lives, doing our everyday stuff, on and on... until the day we die. Just look at how aligned those houses are, as if they were rat cages, organized in a way so mouses could find their way in and out by memorizing the path they'd have to do everyday. Children are kept at a treatment center, which would, in a way they call 'educative', teach them to grow in this alienated society, while older rats would do what we call 'daily routine', unconsciously obeying this system which obligates people to live their lives on a pattern.

What the actual fuck?

that's life :sigh:
Great pictures, but honestly, I'm posting about this:
They said that skyscraper exploration isn't UrbEx? Fuck off. It's urban, it's exploring. You don't need to go to some dank-ass shack out in the middle of nowhere to call it "urban exploration". Hell, skyscrapers are about as urban as it gets.
The ones with the streets and car headlights blurred look amazing, especially the really bright, long exposure ones.
Shame you didn't have a tripod, you could've got some really awesome stuff then. Shame you didn't have a wide-angle lens too, would've been cool to have a nice big panoramic from up there!
