It's just a matter of leaving the shutter open for a few minutes; it's called "bulb mode" on most cameras. A tripod is needed as well to keep the camera from moving.

From what I hear, the whole buildings gone

(Just a note I made the 2 posts above using the name "bunkbed", now using the name "Richard". :) )
Somehow when I think about it after looking around at what's left of the place as it's being torn down(remember I unfortunately never got my lazy ass around to getting to see the inside beforehand, **SULKING**), I think this room looks more like it was a closet/tiny storage room, or maybe even a small bathroom.

Yes those seats are most definitely seats from an American full size van, like a Chevy, Dodge, or Ford, and most likely for transportation of patients either around the grounds or like on field/activity trips.

Mr. Motts once again displays his command of colour & texture in this shot, which is without equal. Many thanks for an extraordinary gallery!

How do you make the photos look like they are taken in broad daylight when they are all taken at night? that baffles me, then again what do i know lol

Wow, I can tell how ornate, marble with a design in the lading... Looks like something you would find in NYC. I guess Belgins take thier beer seriously

I saw the same thing at the Sterling Zinc Mine in Northern NJ,. There the miners put thier breathing gear in them. They were used if the mine was flooded with carbonmonoxide, there was a coal filter inside and when thye breathed the air would be filtered. I think, at the time the Zinc mine was running, they would work for a half hour before they got too hot and would burn your mouth and throat when breathing, but if you wanted to get out of the mine...

I would go to Rocky point every year with American Standard picnic. This ride is the Skyliner. No not haunted just closed. I miss this place. Lots of great memories. They have a documentary on Netflix about Rocky point

Some people want to "ruin" the more majestic scenes found in these places, although the reasoning escapes me.

Yes, most places with an alias can be researched and found quite easily using the historical information... but it does take that small amount of effort to do it.

I have a resentment towards lazy people. I've spent a good number of hours research some of these places, and it's tough to simply put it out there when the place is almost unheard of and forgotten. If I were to pinpoint each location, I feel I would be killing the little bits of "exploration" left in the world (especially after the advent of exploring forums, Flickr, and GPS camera data).

Some of the greatest feelings come to me when I'm pouring my heart into finding some hidden place using whatever clues I can, and I finally nail it. When I physically get there and start shooting, I also feel more... proud, I suppose is the closest word. Why deprive someone of that?

Some places also have a pseudonym in respect to someone who had given me a heads-up on the place, and asked to keep it undisclosed.

In any case, if anyone has the motivation to go out and find these places, it's not too hard. If they're lazy, I'll just get another "What's the address of this place?" comment, and subsequently delete it :-)

All these places will probably show up in some IPhone App sooner or later, but until then it'll be our secret :-)

Penbow Sweden, i hope your wife is doing ok, I recently looked after a preganat TB patient and she and baby are fine now , I really hope you all have a good outcome too x

Too bad since this picture someone spray painted "caveman" on the certain and torn the center of it =/ I hate it when people ruin these places for others but this is such a great shot =p.
