Smh there are some areas of my city that I would love to take photos of but :hubie:I'm good. It sucks because the best photography imo are areas where there's a sense of abandonment. Can't even be an artist without fukk shyt happening :snoop:

I think about stories like this whenever I'm downtown by myself with the tripod and camera, I'll usually just wander and see what I can capture, never been bothered or harassed. We have some really photogenic abandoned places in Cleveland, however, the whole look says "stay away". Crazy they left his gear, shot him over a cell phone. I grew up in Euclid, I never remember it being that bad.

From downtown last night......

the crazier ones is where photographers getting shot by cops cuz the dumb ass cop thinks the tripod is a gun :dahell:
then there's one where someone called the cops on a photographer cuz they thought he was a sniper :dead:

i'm like :lupe:"do i need to pull my shyt off of there?" I use it mainly for hosting, nothing really major. But i'll have to see what they change. Hopefully they don't end up liked 500px and changing up too much.
it would be wack if they turned into photobucket and started charging to link images and shyt

Was this a series of photos, panaroma, or one shot? What lens too, theres like zero distortion.

Breh I'm about to be as surprised as you are. This one wasn't even from my DSLr. I just went back and looked as I'm here pumping gas and it was taken from my Note 8. I really dont believe it but it was according to my files. I'll double check later on when I get home but it says it was taken from my Note 8. When I'm taking pictures of something specific I'll do a few with my phone to be able to immediately share it with no transfer.
