Yes, I'm not an explorer anymore (70+ years ago; mein Gott, I'm old!), but I agree, people should NOT rearrange an abandoned building. You wouldn't go into a cemetery and rearrange the grave markers!
Please, leave sites exactly as you found them....I don't even bother watching channels that clearly have "staged" a site, it totally has ruined the abandoned building and it is no longer "real", it is just a picture that has no meaning to me. Thank you for being respectful.
Great episode! About the rearranging of items, I don't see anything wrong with it as long as nothing is being damaged or destroyed in the process. Although personally we tend to refrain from moving things, unless it's a very simple thing that will greatly improve a shot without much effort.
I personally don’t like to see items disturbed- it doesn’t matter if it’s for a “better shot”. There are always reasons why the structures/properties are in the condition. Just because it’s abandoned doesn’t mean it’s “fair game”. Personally, I think to say “as long as it’s not damaged” is a little dismissive- course nothing should ever be damaged & that goes without saying. It’s more a matter of respect for the property & the person’s overall outlook of what the purpose of Urbex is- documenting history or the entertainment of the individual doing the exploring, which can be exploitative. Anyone on the property are “guests” trespassing- which CAN be done respectfully- which is the way BWT ALWAYS approaches the situations. It also shows in the way BWT actually researches the back story of the places they are going & isn’t just there for the scenery.
I would always leave a place as I found it. But I also have contacted the guardians/owners of some places about buying stuff out or donating stuff before it gets stolen or wrecked. That worked surprisingly well.
Til and Marco,Your introduction, editing,history,and narration into your explores are the best!! The history on the abandonded papermill and its apprenticeship school shows its past has a thriving business(and struggles..now abandonded). Glad you are all safe from the hurricane,shows how much dedication and determination goes into urban exploration!! 😘👍💕💕
Sometimes when you explore abandoned buildings you can see that photographers have neatly arranged bottles of medicine or something similar to to that, to photograph. I dont think there is anything wrong with the idea of moving items about , but its also nice to discover items without setting them up for a shot. Personally I leave everything as I found it. Great video as always!
Put things back as you found them. Natures arrangements can be goofy to us. Some photographers have an eye to catch the beauty in nature without our rearrangement. ☺
I don't like moving around objects, they should be left as they were. I've seen someone sitting on a chair and breaking it. So disrespectful. I appreciate your pictures and videos. You are truly explorers! Thank you..🙂❤
I always enjoy your videos. I've come to appreciate the beauty in decay in the abandonments you explore. I'd rather things be left as they are, not moving items around to compose a shot. The beauty is in the chaos sometimes.
It's too bad that some people can't just explore and leave everything as found like you fellows do. By the way, I hope that you lads are wearing breathing protection while exploring. Great video as usual.
I think the other photographers weren't being honest...I think they wanted to move the strawberries for their own liking and their own pictures. They should leave things as found like all of you do. Really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing!
Leave it the way you found it, never stage a place, or take things that don’t belong to you. You guys did the right thing. Thank you for being respectful.
Guys, this episode was especially interesting to me because the area I grew up in Wisconsin was built on the paper industry. My career-life was working for industrial engineering/design companies centered around the paper industry. So I really enjoyed this. Also, the opening drone shot with the train going by was your best yet.
Wonderful spot and video! (That area looks like the Applachian area in the US.) On the question of disturbing abandonments: I love to arrange, so I would be really tempted to rearrange if it was only minor, such as leaving a door shut or not for a pic. I think anything major and you just need to give up urbex photography. An asute photographer will not need to rearrange. If someone can't find the shot they want, they probably need to move on. If it is in extreme decay, it needs to rest in peace. The true spirit of finding, filming, and photographing is lost when abandonments are constantly tampered with. The spell of lost to time is broken.
Sehr schöner Ort, das schöne an euren Videos ist das man immer ca weiß wo sich diese Orte befinden und man nachvollziehen kann wie ihr durch die Welt reist. Tolles video
Interesting to see a training school that was part of the old style apprenticeship system in Europe. The reality of one vocation for a lifetime is a bygone thing today. Seldom now do people work 50 years at the same occupation. Thanks to you for the risk and time to record these places.
I'm not an explorer, but I prefer to see places as they were left, not rearranged to provide more "artistic" scenes. I always wonder why places were left, the more history, the better! Please revisit this site, it would be interesting to see more.
I did my first explore 50 years ago when I was 10 yrs old. Staging does not add anything in my opinion. Cornelius, you look exactly like my husband many years ago. I was happy to share the link...you deserve many followers. Best wishes
I think its a bit odd to want things just how you saw them in a photo to the point of being somewhat agitated about it. Photographers are artists and things will get moved to create a new artistic vision! He should be happy that they hadn't been destroyed by vandals or taken! This video was great, I love all the time you put into researching the history of each place!
Definitely should return to the area. All those former GDR area hold some real gems. It's actually rather sad to see some of these places rotting away, but it's also very cool to get to see them before they do. Great channel, really looking forward to new stuff....
Your presentation of the images of the untouched strawberries and then the photography of the moved "staged" strawberries made a profound impact on my preception of the entire scene! Untouched images work my brain to try and understand what happened here, who was a part of this etc. The staged image make me concentrate on the strawberries themselves and what the Artist was presenting. Totally different and not as full of wonderment or amazement as naturally found photography. Good work, explorers!
I leave it exactly as I find it. I prefer photos to be organic not staged. :) And I would love to see you guys go back there when you have more time to spend. Thanks for the wonderful videos! 💗
Guys, as a paranormal investigator, and running the channel MGP Investigation Studios, it is a prime thought to leave things the way they are found, and to NEVER take something away from the site, unless there is some sort o special permission of the sight owners. Just like in any investigation, I treat photography the same way. I love Urban Exploration. I don't like the idea of re-aranging things, or making them fall over, or whatever. Thank you for asking. I can't tell you how much I enjoy your channel, and would LOVE to come along on an exploration, especially since I can start returning to England and Finland in the coming months. I'll likely not start going back into interior Europe until late 2021 into '22. Anyway, thank you.
I want to see everything as it was left. It is much more provocative left in place to age. I appreciate how BWT documents and shares the history with us. I now see my present collection of things very differently. So glad to have found your channel.
I really like hearing about the history of the places you visit so the effort is appreciated and I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that. I don't think it's a big deal if you move a chair or small items into the picture to get a good shot but those strawberries just looked out of place so I don't know what those people were thinking. Thanks for another great video.
I really like your videos. You remind me of my younger days. I still explore with an eye for urban decay. In Northern California are many old mining and logging abandoned areas. The strawberries in the school have such brilliant color. They seem placed by someone after the closure as they show no decay. Maybe an example of dyes used in the printing jobs? If you get the correct mixture the result could be those bright lasting colors. I have two areas to lean on for that. Some experience with chemistry and some work for a printer. Just a driver, but I often saw him mixing the dyes.
If I were to explore, I would leave things as I find them and not stage or move around. I love how BWT captures images in such unique and beautiful ways. Thank you for sharing your explorations with us 👍❤️
You guys do such classy work! I love that you give some history, and that you treat these places with respect and sometimes even a little reverence, as well as not staging scenes. I agree with those not in favor of staging. I understand photographers wanting more artistic shots, or wanting to capture a certain mood, but then are they capturing something or creating something? Maybe both, maybe neither, maybe it's really not a big deal. I just like the idea that I'm seeing a place as it was left when it was last lived in or worked in or worshipped in. These days, it can be hard to tell, we might be only seeing a place as the most recent explorers left it instead (but note to other explorers - we can usually tell).
This was an amazing place! The level of decay is so beautiful in its contrast, and I always love moss and algae inside buildings. I really always appreciate your approach to exploration and your love for the history of each place you visit. I seriously want at least one of those blueprint cabinets, they are so useful, and finding the blueprints still inside is such a bonus. Please stay careful as you go...that bridge was so dangerous and we want you to be safe out there. The origami strawberries were so unusual to discover in such a place...they looked quite recent and so bright and clean. I enjoy all the places you take me to, and watching your skills and confidence grow over the time since I first subscribed is perhaps the most rewarding part of it all. Thank you for taking me along again...🖤🇨🇦 PS: I prefer to see. Things the way you do, documenting what you find, and. Leaving it as you found it for the next explorer. The true beauty is in the way Nature reclaims things...you can set up any kind of photo in a studio, but when you are given the chance to see a property in the process of decay why would you want to tidy it all up and stage a photo? That just seems bizarre to me, I have seen homes where dishes are left on the table, like everyone just got up and ran out...and I have seen tables all set and cleaned to take a photo that doesn’t tell the actual story of the place. I am far more fascinated by the ones with a little mystery to make me think and wonder.🖤🇨🇦
Hi guys just so you know this is such a treat for all that couldn’t travel thank you all for that you ‘ve show us in here I believe that we should keep the place as we found it because that is the beautiy of finding thing in it original place And not to disturb the natural process of decay! Thanks gain gentlemanl happy explore ! Much Love from Japan !
Enjoyed the tour very much. I'm very glad you leave things as found and don't set up for 'pretty' pictures. Would love for you to go back at some point and explore the rest.
Hope you all kept safe from the hurricane. I guess urban exploring is becoming increasingly more popular where it wouldn't be unusual to bump into another urbex explorer. So what is up with the strawberries there? Looking forward to your next video.
Great video!!! I like the way you leave things as they are. It makes it more real. Looking forward to your prison video! Take care and awesome job. Thanks for taking us along on the journey. :)
Such a great find guys!! Yes, please go back and show us more of the area! I prefer your approach to things being left as they were found, their natural state as well. This is one of the main reasons I follow your channel, you just let the place speak for itself. Thanks again BWT Crew!
I prefer as found, although the strawberries had a fun effect but should be returned to original placement when shot completed. Thank you for always having integrity when exploring. When I explore, I try to keep my footprint on a site minimal as possible.
I'm interested in the abandoned architecture and unusual atmosphere but you guys like a bit more decay then I do. To each their own I guess. I really enjoyed the human parts too. It's interesting to see situations and challenges the team goes through. Beautiful visuals in the pre-exploration parts too. 👍
The strawberries appear to be a new addition since they are in pristine shape compared to the decay of the place. I wonder if they were put there as a clue to something about the place or are they just random.
I feel the same way. Fabric doesn't tend to keep such bright colors over the years. Although one thought I had was deliberate chemical application. Maybe it was a project to show success in achieving lasting chemically created colors? It is a printers school.
@@paulloper8333 Yes, I know, obviously new, but why? Is there meaning to strawberries or is just random fun? Perhaps it's an easter egg of sorts. It's more exciting to think it isn't just random.
Hallo Meine Helden ! Loved the video great find ! I just want you guys to know I appreciate all your hard work ! Und kochen koennt ihr auchmal gut ! Bis bald Meine Helden !!Stay save !!
I would second the choice of leaving all as-is for many reasons... for historical reasons, also to protect what has been discovered, once someone starts moving things, it' becomes a chain reaction... keep up the excellent work guys... i love you videos & commentary.. quite rare but impressive quality these days
We like to leave it the way it was unless it’s something small we have to move to take a good shot😁Love your videos they inspired us to make a Chanel ourselves👍🏼
Besides the obvious, the biggest problem w groups moving items is the changing of the authenticity of the location/decay/history. It hurts what we trust with our eyes. Now when I see the abandonment, while I ❤️ the natural decay (when there), I truly wonder if it is as it was when it was abandoned or if it was set up for pics or video. Kinda puts a damper on the entire feeling of the find. Thanks for asking our opinion ✌🏻
The bridge does look scary. Thank God Ya did fall with the bridge. I love the huge strawberries. OMG, a Boat!!!. I would of never thought a Nice Boat would be in there. I have no idea why they would have big Strawberries in the school. Seems like to Me You would of found them in a children school. Maybe in science class for growing Strawberries would be my guess. Yes Ya should go back. Sorry the weather was so bad at least Ya didn't caught up in it. I love the video as always. Peace. :)
Hi. I lived in the sierra mountains of northern california as a teenager. We often went on short hikes near town or cabin crossing bridges like they did. To be honest, scary but lots of fun. ☺
Wieder ein richtiges super Urbexabentheuer mit sehr gutem und lustigem Frühstück mit Bananenscheiben aus eurer Heimat mit super Locations 👍👍👍. Mehr Videos aus dem Erzgebirge solltet ihr auf jeden Fall machen (super Gegend dafür 🤗). Bei der "Strawberry School" kann ich mir beim Anblick der im ehemaligen Schulgebäude hin- und herbewegten Riesendekoerdbeeren sehr gut vorstellen, warum diese Urbexlocation diesen Namen hat. Das ehemalige vermietete Kulturhaus mit dem Motorboot drin ist auch ein echter Hingucker. Bis zum nächsten Video. Viele Grüße aus Norddeutschland und einen schönen Sonntagabend 😊😊😊
Great video guy's! Regarding the strawberries, I believe abandoned buildings and everything inside should be left alone, not moved to suite Instagram photographers. I definitely think you guys should revisit that area to finish exploring. Keep up the great videos and would love to see you guys meet up with the Proper people again!
I am a purist and I like to leave things as they are. I will never set up a shot. So glad you all got home safe. Love your videos! I can not wait to see the prison.
Great video guys. I don't tend to rearrange abandoned buildings. Unless it is a chair out of place in a photo or an item that may make the photograph look cooler. For example paperwork on a table.
Do you put it back even if it was goofy looking? One striking rearrangement I saw once that had been left was a dining room. No way could it had been left that way. Another was result of flooding. Mother nature doesn't set the dinner table. Lol
I feel you shouldn't touch n only take pictures n leave footprints! It bugs when they set up scenes for pictures. The beauty is in the abandoned! Great adventure guys. N breakfast looked full of protein n would leave you full. Thanks for sharing! Stay safe and God bless.
@@paulloper8333 i know. Lucky i got alot spare time so walk alot with him he now 17mounths old. And get 2 times day Swimming lesson he loves water And 9 yr old is nice for BMD
I really enjoyed the way you narrated your film, I would’ve liked that you captioned when exactly the buildings were last occupied, wether it was last year or 50 years ago, it would give an indication to the deteriation rate.
I consider people who move stuff for pictures as just being photographers and not urban explorers. If you are a real urbexer, you leave things naturally decay and enjoy the effects of this process. The whole spirit of decaying structures is what defines urbex in the first place. I think that doing it for the aesthetics is just superficial and more a social thing than anything else. It is like going to a gallery and moving stuff around to get the best picture: You completely missed the point when doing this.
Right, here in the USA the National Parks have signs that the _good_ urbexers have taken as their motto: "Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints"---to which I recommend: _"and don't don't open the refrigerator!"_
@@oldenweery7510 Wasn't aware that saying came from the National Parks... I learned the leave nothing part when I was in the scouts. But I consider it also just basic respect for nature or, in case of urbexing, abandoned sites, because it is not yours.
@@laurensa.1803 I don't know if the signs are there anymore, but I watched a TV show about sites in the American Southwest about rock formations in the desert. They showed the signs---and a moment later, the paper and foil Polaroid film packs and tear strips. I disagree with the explorers who rearrange and pose things. They aren't showing the _true_ history! It's only been a couple of years since I learned that photographers documenting the American Civil War rearranged weapons---and even _corpses!_ It's a tradition I wish would die out.
By moving stuff around, you have compromised the sites history. It shows a lack of respect. I always appreciate your channel, and that you leave a place, as if you were never there! Allowing the site, to die, with its dignity!❤️
As a photographer myself, I think that as long as there is nothing destroyed, vandalized, or stolen, I don't see any problems in changing objects from their "original places" to compose a photo. After all, nobody will know the true arrangements from the time the owners or responsible people lived or worked there.
GlobetrotterBR Photographers who move things around to meet their personal objectives are covertly robbing real urbexers and their followers of the highly valued opportunity to connect with an authentic past.
@@aluminumdragonfly You can say that regarding a pristine place that had been discovered for the first time, yeah I agree with that, but not a place that had been invaded and vandalized multiple times. A good example of what I'm talking about is the "Globe School".
GlobetrotterBR Yes, I agree with you that pristine scenes shouldn't be disturbed. If they have, the connection with an authentic past has been broken and so moving things around a bit is okay.
I'm not really an explorer, but I mostly prefer to take pictures with the things the way they are, I rarely change them, because the of something can be found the way it is, I don't know if you get me
If you're there to photograph the truth, then it has to be in the original state as you found it. However, if you want to fabricate a story to suit your photographs, then you are staging.
I like the way that you show respect for your surroundings. Even when you pick items up, you always place them back where they were. I wouldn't rearrange items at all. That just shows a lack of respect, and your group doesn't do that.
Prefer the buildings to be shown as found. The goal is to document and show how things are. Thank you for your approach.
Yes, I'm not an explorer anymore (70+ years ago; mein Gott, I'm old!), but I agree, people should NOT rearrange an abandoned building. You wouldn't go into a cemetery and rearrange the grave markers!
Please, leave sites exactly as you found them....I don't even bother watching channels that clearly have "staged" a site, it totally has ruined the abandoned building and it is no longer "real", it is just a picture that has no meaning to me. Thank you for being respectful.

Just a regular day for the BWT crew. LOL!!!! Love it!
Take only pictures, leave only footprints, move nothing but yourself.

I like your channel the best for urbex. Even the Proper People stage their shots, something which cheapens the experience.
In our opinion there's nothing wrong with staging a little.

There's so much more to see down there! We know several cool abandoned sites worth documenting.

Thankyou for sharing your explore. I thought the mini-forest in the courtyard looked beautiful. Must be a good home for the birds.
Brilliant video guys
Great video!!! I like the way you leave things as they are. It makes it more real. Looking forward to your prison video! Take care and awesome job. Thanks for taking us along on the journey. :)
Thanks for following our adventures!
Such a great find guys!! Yes, please go back and show us more of the area! I prefer your approach to things being left as they were found, their natural state as well. This is one of the main reasons I follow your channel, you just let the place speak for itself. Thanks again BWT Crew!
I like the fact that you leave it as you found it. It's so much better then what they were doing.
Thx!
Very nice, Great job guys!
Thank you for quality video as always. 👌👍👏
Thank you for watching and the great comments. ✌️
I prefer as found, although the strawberries had a fun effect but should be returned to original placement when shot completed. Thank you for always having integrity when exploring. When I explore, I try to keep my footprint on a site minimal as possible.
I'm interested in the abandoned architecture and unusual atmosphere but you guys like a bit more decay then I do. To each their own I guess.
I really enjoyed the human parts too. It's interesting to see situations and challenges the team goes through. Beautiful visuals in the pre-exploration parts too. 👍
Thanks a lot and don't worry, we will show more pristine locations as well!
Wonderful place! And great video
The strawberries appear to be a new addition since they are in pristine shape compared to the decay of the place. I wonder if they were put there as a clue to something about the place or are they just random.
I feel the same way. Fabric doesn't tend to keep such bright colors over the years. Although one thought I had was deliberate chemical application. Maybe it was a project to show success in achieving lasting chemically created colors? It is a printers school.
Die sind neu, das kann jeder sehen.
@@paulloper8333 Yes, I know, obviously new, but why? Is there meaning to strawberries or is just random fun? Perhaps it's an easter egg of sorts. It's more exciting to think it isn't just random.
Hallo Meine Helden ! Loved the video great find ! I just want you guys to know I appreciate all your hard work ! Und kochen koennt ihr auchmal gut ! Bis bald Meine Helden !!Stay save !!
🙌🏼
I would second the choice of leaving all as-is for many reasons... for historical reasons, also to protect what has been discovered, once someone starts moving things, it' becomes a chain reaction...
keep up the excellent work guys... i love you videos & commentary.. quite rare but impressive quality these days
We like to leave it the way it was unless it’s something small we have to move to take a good shot😁Love your videos they inspired us to make a Chanel ourselves👍🏼
Beautiful! Your videos are so wonderful to watch! 💗
Thanks a bunch!
Besides the obvious, the biggest problem w groups moving items is the changing of the authenticity of the location/decay/history. It hurts what we trust with our eyes. Now when I see the abandonment, while I ❤️ the natural decay (when there), I truly wonder if it is as it was when it was abandoned or if it was set up for pics or video. Kinda puts a damper on the entire feeling of the find.
Thanks for asking our opinion ✌🏻
Probably most locations you can see on photos are staged in a way. 🤔
The best one is your channel BWT
💙
The bridge does look scary. Thank God Ya did fall with the bridge. I love the huge strawberries. OMG, a Boat!!!. I would of never thought a Nice Boat would be in there. I have no idea why they would have big Strawberries in the school. Seems like to Me You would of found them in a children school. Maybe in science class for growing Strawberries would be my guess. Yes Ya should go back. Sorry the weather was so bad at least Ya didn't caught up in it. I love the video as always. Peace. :)
Hi. I lived in the sierra mountains of northern california as a teenager. We often went on short hikes near town or cabin crossing bridges like they did. To be honest, scary but lots of fun. ☺
Yes please go back. It's a great region.
We go back later this year!
I loved this video. Never stage a photo, take the picture as it is. Please go back there, and do other places.
Take pictures and leave only footprints. That is what I do.😁
Nice video. Be careful. 💖
Wieder ein richtiges super Urbexabentheuer mit sehr gutem und lustigem Frühstück mit Bananenscheiben aus eurer Heimat mit super Locations 👍👍👍. Mehr Videos aus dem Erzgebirge solltet ihr auf jeden Fall machen (super Gegend dafür 🤗). Bei der "Strawberry School" kann ich mir beim Anblick der im ehemaligen Schulgebäude hin- und herbewegten Riesendekoerdbeeren sehr gut vorstellen, warum diese Urbexlocation diesen Namen hat. Das ehemalige vermietete Kulturhaus mit dem Motorboot drin ist auch ein echter Hingucker. Bis zum nächsten Video. Viele Grüße aus Norddeutschland und einen schönen Sonntagabend 😊😊😊
Great video guy's! Regarding the strawberries, I believe abandoned buildings and everything inside should be left alone, not moved to suite Instagram photographers. I definitely think you guys should revisit that area to finish exploring. Keep up the great videos and would love to see you guys meet up with the Proper people again!
So we will come back!!!
Touching and reorganizating thing for more pulling composition is really worthy of rejection.
Nice footages guys... as usual ;-)
I am a purist and I like to leave things as they are. I will never set up a shot. So glad you all got home safe. Love your videos! I can not wait to see the prison.
The prison video is already online. Enjoy!
I'm glad I found your channel. I really enjoy these beautiful videos about great abandoned buildings.
This team is top notch.
🖤💜💙💚💛
Leave everything the way you found it!!!!
So, don't touch anything?
Nice buddy
Great video guys. I don't tend to rearrange abandoned buildings. Unless it is a chair out of place in a photo or an item that may make the photograph look cooler. For example paperwork on a table.
Do you put it back even if it was goofy looking? One striking rearrangement I saw once that had been left was a dining room. No way could it had been left that way. Another was result of flooding. Mother nature doesn't set the dinner table. Lol
I feel you shouldn't touch n only take pictures n leave footprints! It bugs when they set up scenes for pictures. The beauty is in the abandoned! Great adventure guys. N breakfast looked full of protein n would leave you full. Thanks for sharing! Stay safe and God bless.
Yes new vid me and my 45kg lab dog BMD was waiting on this
😂🤟
45kg hahaha, they sure love to eat. Should watch out though, mine died at the age of 9. Don't let them get too fat.
@@paulloper8333 i know. Lucky i got alot spare time so walk alot with him he now 17mounths old. And get 2 times day Swimming lesson he loves water
And 9 yr old is nice for BMD
You did an amazing job on this.
Thanks a lot!
I really enjoyed the way you narrated your film, I would’ve liked that you captioned when exactly the buildings were last occupied, wether it was last year or 50 years ago, it would give an indication to the deteriation rate.
The best adwentures ever 😁✌️👊
I consider people who move stuff for pictures as just being photographers and not urban explorers. If you are a real urbexer, you leave things naturally decay and enjoy the effects of this process. The whole spirit of decaying structures is what defines urbex in the first place. I think that doing it for the aesthetics is just superficial and more a social thing than anything else. It is like going to a gallery and moving stuff around to get the best picture: You completely missed the point when doing this.
Right, here in the USA the National Parks have signs that the _good_ urbexers have taken as their motto: "Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints"---to which I recommend: _"and don't don't open the refrigerator!"_
@@oldenweery7510 Wasn't aware that saying came from the National Parks...
I learned the leave nothing part when I was in the scouts. But I consider it also just basic respect for nature or, in case of urbexing, abandoned sites, because it is not yours.
@@laurensa.1803 I don't know if the signs are there anymore, but I watched a TV show about sites in the American Southwest about rock formations in the desert. They showed the signs---and a moment later, the paper and foil Polaroid film packs and tear strips. I disagree with the explorers who rearrange and pose things. They aren't showing the _true_ history! It's only been a couple of years since I learned that photographers documenting the American Civil War rearranged weapons---and even _corpses!_ It's a tradition I wish would die out.
By moving stuff around, you have compromised the sites history. It shows a lack of respect. I always appreciate your channel, and that you leave a place, as if you were never there! Allowing the site, to die, with its dignity!❤️
You leave it the way you find it and only leave Footsteps in the dust...
As a photographer myself, I think that as long as there is nothing destroyed, vandalized, or stolen, I don't see any problems in changing objects from their "original places" to compose a photo. After all, nobody will know the true arrangements from the time the owners or responsible people lived or worked there.
GlobetrotterBR Photographers who move things around to meet their personal objectives are covertly robbing real urbexers and their followers of the highly valued opportunity to connect with an authentic past.
@@aluminumdragonfly You can say that regarding a pristine place that had been discovered for the first time, yeah I agree with that, but not a place that had been invaded and vandalized multiple times. A good example of what I'm talking about is the "Globe School".
GlobetrotterBR Yes, I agree with you that pristine scenes shouldn't be disturbed. If they have, the connection with an authentic past has been broken and so moving things around a bit is okay.
I loved hearing about this place! Thank You!! ❤️
I really can't wait for the castle/prison. That looks so cool!
I agree that you leave thing the way you find them for it’s original statement
Beautiful video, hope you'll get more subscribers 🙌
We do too ;D
Wow todo se quedó .... Impresionante
Respect and leave as you find them, is my opinion
Great footage loved the history behind it.
I would leave things how they were, never to touch or move things as they can break or shorten the life span. Again another great video keep it up.
Leave everything the way you found it.
👍
Love the history! But tell me, did you go back over the bridge?
No, we went back a safer way. ✌️😃
I am not a explorer myself but I think it is best to not arange objects for photos and just film what is there. Thank you for the Video. 👍
Спасибо, очень интересно!
very nice
You must be very brave to be able to adventure such scary places! Keep it up 😄
Film it as you found it!
📹
I'm not really an explorer, but I mostly prefer to take pictures with the things the way they are, I rarely change them, because the of something can be found the way it is, I don't know if you get me
Sure!
Nice movie 👌 🏆 👀 Congratulations 🎥 🍸 Greetings from Poland 👍 👌 Good luck 👀
Nice👍😎
If you're there to photograph the truth, then it has to be in the original state as you found it. However, if you want to fabricate a story to suit your photographs, then you are staging.
I like the way that you show respect for your surroundings. Even when you pick items up, you always place them back where they were. I wouldn't rearrange items at all. That just shows a lack of respect, and your group doesn't do that.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
wonderful job guys.
Thanks a lot!
