Cheers guys, the place looks great, if a little quiet lol. Its a shame you got taken off the site matt, from the pic of the item on the tree, it looked as if it was broken, but guess it obviously wasn't.

Is it me or does it look like the hangers and control tower have been repainted? Im sure i sure some pics a while ago, and there was graffiti on the tower, but looks in great condition now.

cheers again guys.

:) Sal
 
cheers people:)
i think one of the hangers is still drab green the rest have been "done up"
its a weird place nobody around like a ghost town!!
as you walk up it seems to change the closer you get to the hangers
like the grass has been cut and its much cleaner!!
 
Cheers for that mate.

Makes you wonder what they're going to do with the place with all the stuff being done up.

will keep looking at the local papers and see if there's anything about any sales or anything in there.

Cheers again,

:) Sal
 
yeh was a good day no wonder we didnt get caught i seemed to be an idiot and unkowingly walk through of what apeared to be a sensor and nothing happened was expecting a like swat team to raid us at the controll tower. got more suspicious when a copter was flying around over head :confused:
so thanks for keeping them occupied lol
 
Wow, what a great explore, the place looks massive. I couldn't go past that many times before being tempted in! :)
 
Gonna be a contradicting sod now lol. tbh, i like the second pic of the corridor, but much prefer the first one, as that is how you saw it when you were there, and has been relayed to us the same way. It makes it look as if we're all there looking down the corridor.

Sorry for being pedantic lol. but definitely prefer the first to the second. :mrgreen:

:) Sal

ps, its not a competition anyway, you take pics you like, and others can agree or disagree etc. I take pics that i like, and if others like it, then its great, if they don't, as long as i like the picture how ive taken it and it came out, then im happy with it. ;)

When I said the composition could be a bit better, I was refering to the position of the key lines in the image.

The vertical walls on the archway in the foreground are near enough central, but not quite. The double doors at the end of the corrider need to be centred also, but they're not. With composistion, you either go for dead centre and symetry, or you go way off. Half-way in between rarely works.

That's something that I spotted straight away, although I'm a sucker for symetry and that's something I spot straight away. :eek:
