The Return of Konrad 2: Farewell 'Ballz'
Konrad, a.k.a CaptainConBallz, a.k.a Ballz had come down for a while so I seized the opportunity to do this very fine industrial splore
I attempted to do it a little while back but I was too frazzled from a series of uber-fails and desperately needed the loo! I vowed to return and I did...
We hit it on a cold and frosty night and had a good 3+ hours inside. We tip toed our way around and took great care in the interest of stealth and thanks to the Urbex Gods, we made it in and out without getting pinched! We never saw anyone inside the compound, but we were certain we heard voices from the other side of the building and we very nearly got clocked on the way out.
My first impression upon entering was amazement...it's an insane medley of pipes, hoses, gargantuan machines and cool lighting! The whole place is mind blowing! It's relatively warm and clean inside, with the exception of the odd bit of pigeon poop and some paper pulp.
Spot the Ballz...
I love the wide, open spaces here.
There's all sorts of machinery.
Pipes, ducts, etc.
We stopped on the roof for a bit of a sit down and to have a drink. You have to take your time with these big places and it's never a bad idea to slow the pace and lay low for a while.
Control room.
Somewhere along the line I got irritated with shooting from a tripod and decided to switch lenses and have a bit of a laugh...Cue the blasting of high ISO handheld shots
Monitors & Konrad.
Passing through, I saw a few familiar names (I didn't write knob btw).
Video
Well I didn't get all the shots I wanted but it was a class explore! Got to love a successful bit of skulking. Big ups to Konrad for coming out, providing coffee and good company. Roll on the next one
Thanks for looking!
