Looking at your photos, it seems like you might need a hand in post. You're either adjusting exposure too much or setting weird curves/levels, because I see a lot of compressed tones and over-saturation going on.

Yeah it has alot of HDR edittin its just a style how i like that, if you look at the original's they are pretty accurate but boring, im just a starting photographer, and i'm realy starting to know m camera, but i need alot of practice \ help in after edditing the pictures. but indeed the images have alot of saturation. the over exposure might be because im shooting in "sharpdepth" mode, by only adjust f3.5 ~22 value. and let the camera do the iso and the time.

(not a native english so i cant think of the correct terms at the moment)

Here are some from the grounds of the Rosewood Asylum in Baltimore County, MD.
Unfortunately since it was an asylum, and a secure facility, most of these buildings were locked up tight. Bars on the windows, welded shut doors. It was definitely a secure facility. It was in use from the late 1800s, untill 2009. and the state still owns the property so there are frequent regular patrols throughout the night. I am determined to find a way into these buildings and am planning a trip back. It is a giant campus with at least 8 buildings and tunnels.

1. Though abandoned, some buildings still have power, and there were a few rooms with lights on in them.

York County Jail.
This place was shut down in 1979. Unfortunately everything was just re-sealed with fresh padlocks on the main entrance. All the other ways in had been bricked over, so no photos from the inside. I'll give it a week or two and hopefully some other explorers will have gone by with bolt cutters so I don't have to do any dirty work.

no one else exploring out there? Fall and winter are the best times!

Williams Grove Amusement Park in Pennsylvania
The first rides opened in 1928, In 1972 the park got a bunch of rides from the closing Palisades Amusement Park in NJ. In operation until 2005, the park now stands vacant. The only ride left standing is the 79 year old roller coaster "The Cyclone" This coaster was revolutionary for its time (1933), reaching speeds of 65 MPH..

Abandoned State Hospital - Light Painting

I found this place on Google Earth and have been visiting it occasionally for nearly a year now with groups of friends. Sometimes there's a guard onsite. Other times we have the place to ourselves. We've had a few close calls. But it's been a blast to get into... the place is huge... and there's far more left to shoot photos of.

Some HDR work I did from a trip to Fort Point in San Francisco. Not quite Urban Exploration as the building is open to the public on weekends (free parking and admission by the way), but it is an old fortress that used to protect the bay entrance and it is super photogenic. It was foggy, so I was enjoying playing with the super squishy soft lighting. I've only recently gotten a used DSLR, so this is all practice for me. This is my first HDR photography.

Baltimore, MD. Syndenham Hospital for Communicable Diseases.
What I found appeared to be an abandoned geriatric ward for the hospital. It was built 1922-1924.

I'm loving all the photography guys, makes me want to go around my area in search, i think the best places to explore would be run down Mental asylums, there is one near where i live which is haunted, and have heard of people hearing the sounds of people screams throughout the halls.
