Question about non-typical photos of Level 1's

ArcAngel • 2 weeks ago

I was wondering how one should handle posting photos of things tagged as level 1's if you have photos that would potentially no longer meet that criteria (e.g. photos from inside a publically accessible thing that you are not *generally* permitted into)?

New user with tier 4 location

KeyHb • 1 month ago

Hey, I have a tier 4 location that I went to a bunch of times. I'm afraid that posting it as a level 1 account will compromise the space. What should I do? PSA: the location is an abandoned office with a chemistry lab, incredibly intact, chemical equipment is still there.

Question on getting caught

romxn • 2 months ago

Hi everyone, I almost have enough confidence to finally urban explore after watching it on youtube for 2 years, but I have one question about if I get caught. Assuming I am caught by police and not a property owner, does the consequence I face fully depend on the officer? I know i can mitigate the potential consequences by not carrying anything that would suggest me doing worse activities like weapons etc. Is it just a gamble essentially if I get a warning or a charge? On a side note, i was thinking to explore the Anaconda Brass in etobicoke, would this be an okay beginner spot?

Toronto Exploring

Dre • 3 months ago

Hey I'm new here, but not new to exploring, taking risks that kind of thing. I'm from Brampton (now live in Kitchener) and am familiar with downtown Toronto, but not as much as I'd like to be. Does anyone here know some cool spots? One thing Id love to try is to get to Lower Bay station sometime

Hello OAP, my name is Mikah and I am applying for level 2 status. I've been on here for a couple years (which was about when I started exploring) but have mostly just been lurking until recently. "Living in trailers but life is a movie" in Oakville was my first explore and I've been to 50-55ish places since, From Hamilton to Oshawa, and north to Simcoe County.

Hey OAP Community, I’m writing to respectfully request a promotion to Level 2. I believe I’ve met the current requirements, with over three months of active participation, four documented locations, and 15 albums uploaded featuring a variety of sites and content levels. I also have many more albums in the pipeline, ready to be shared with the community. I first got into urbex back in October. At the time, I struggled to find quality locations, but being part of this community has helped me grow significantly in both knowledge and experience. I’ve worked hard to contribute meaningful content, and I’m excited to keep exploring and sharing more. Thank you for considering my request, and I appreciate everything this community has done to support my urbex journey. Best regards, JMacUrbex

KeyHb • 2 weeks ago

I usually get my locations through word of mouth and g earth scouting, but now that I moved all of that got harder. Been doing this for 5 years but I guess why not give back to a community :) (plus I've been gatekeeping all my pics for way too long) I put some nice albums up that I hope you appreciate, can't wait to meet and maybe even explore with some of you all.

Approved

Imperia • 4 weeks ago

Re-applying for level 3, I understand I have not met the requirements last time but I think I do now, ill give a quick break down of my contributions: 70 interior locations 4 exterior locations 200 interior albums 4 exterior albums (you can see the levels of my locs on the side panel) I also got a proper camera with which I am still learning new things about how to use it, but overall my photos are a lot better now and over half of my albums are with that camera so no more blurry grainy shots. but yep thats pretty much it, not much else to say, i hope you consider my re-application, and btw if you want to read more about how I explore and how I started, then you can look at my denied application, I wrote a bunch of stuff there.

Being apart of the OAP community for the last 9 months has definitely been.. interesting to say the least xD I am a bit sad that most (basically all) of you live across the country so I haven't been able to meet up with anyone *yet*, but I have made some friendships over discord which is great! I've been exploring for as long as I can remember (really got more into it around 7 years ago), but was never really interested in the photography aspect of the hobby until joining the site and looking through old albums. I also lived my life with only thoughts and wonder of what a location could've been rather than spending hours trying to dig up history behind it. I reside 4hrs away from the closest major city, which is why most of my finds are old farm properties. I do have a long(ish) list of locations ranging from BC, AB & SK I am beyond excited to make trips for though:D Anyways, I look forward to the feedback and thanks for reading a sliver of my backstory & nightshift rambling lol.

If you post photos of that location, it will either post them to an already existing level 4 entry, or you can make an entry yourself, and select any level. Although you can't see level 4 spots normally, you can if you have added them yourself or posted a gallery to that location.

I forgot that I know the quality in my earlier albums was not great. I have begun using a real camera, so the quality will increase once i get to uploading those albums.

Some parts somehow are still up

Vintage Architecture • 11 years ago

I have a feeling that's what the new 'Developers' will do with the property. I was chatting with one of them while I was there and he seemed like a real piece of work. He used the word 'potentially' in every sentence. Seems like a real trend in the northwest lately, I've seen a ton of mills get demolished in the past 2 years...

quiksilver • 11 years ago

This place was just purchased, everyone is excited that it's going to re-open. The last guy who owned it gutted it and took out anything of scrap value then left it for the township to worry about. Looks like the place is finished.

Yeah it's just off to the side from that flooded structure and has a rusty cylindrical tank like thing on the front. Probably once had a large structure on top that this may have powered something for, though the sluice gates were way up at the top of the falls

ishootthings • 3 days ago

And if there were gates to open and close, if could have made power for that cause it would be a lot of work to manually do. Intriguing. I like it.

ishootthings • 3 days ago

It was potentially boiler for sure. It seems to be a bit away from the rest of the site, or just off to the side? Once the hazard of boilers was truly learned, they tended to position them a bit away from things to protect equipment and workers from an explosion. I've noticed even in the odd older building, the boiler is like 15 ft below the "basement" level in its own utility room (generally using steam as well).

I remember those big white plastic seats in the malls main hall. I was just a kid when I last sat in those. My family also made good use of the No Frills in the mall.
