Hey all, I'm Nick and I'm 23. I've been here since the old Abandonedbutnotforgotten website, but I don't post a whole lot. I live in southern Illinois and do most of my urbexing around the St. Louis area.
My photo gear breakdown:
Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP DSLR
Canon 10-22mm EF-S f/3.5-4.5
Canon 18-55mm EF-S f/3.5-5.6
Canon 50mm EF f/1.8 II (saving for the f/1.4 USM)
Canon 85mm EF f/1.8
Canon 55-250mm EF-S f/4-5.6 IS
(Working on acquiring a Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS.)
Velbon 480 Series tripod
(Yeah that's right, no flashes or lighting of any kind. I rely on what light is available.)
Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended
Adobe Illustrator CS5
Adobe Lightroom 3.2 64-bit
Photomatix Pro 3.2
And I shoot everything RAW
What have people said about my photos?
"Your pictures are phenomenal." - Bob Duffy, associate editor for the St. Louis Beacon.
"You have a great eye and work hard. You've definitely got talent." - Phil Greer, photographer and photo editor for the Chicago Tribune for over 20 years.
"Your pictures make my senior pictures look like crap." - Kacie King
"These are some fantastic shots!" -Lexmex, ClubLexus photography section forum moderator
"...all of your shots are wicked good." - Jude, forum moderator at opacity.us
"Everyone likes pictures of their cars and yours are damn good." - Nicole Lombardo, staff member of Drift St. Louis.
"Eh, these are okay. I've seen better." - J. Bruce Bauman, SIUC picture editor-in-residence and former picture editor for National Geographic, the Evansville Courier-Press, and other publications.
I graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in May with a B.S. in news/editorial journalism and a minor in political science.

Thanks! Most were shot around 1/40 - 1/60 second at around f/11 - f/13 depending on where I was standing.

*thread revival*
I've been eying 3M's 7500 series half-faced mask with 2097 P100 organic vapor filters, since all can be had for less than $35. A local newspaper published a story about a long-abandoned water treatment plant, and went to some length to describe the asbestos hazard the building possessed, as well as mercury and chlorine gas, and I figure now is worth the investment.
