Fine shots everyone! My favorite so far is Jonas's B&W shot, super cool shot, worth all the effort.
I also like the framing and composition of the cables shot, hopefully you can improve the IQ of the shot some with some more work in post. The outside woman mural is nice too.
Thank you for the kind words Wayne!
If you let me know in what aspect you find the IQ lacking in that image of those smoked electric cables I can have a look at it.

Super-interesting place, and I think we all thoroughly enjoyed it, so much so that all are interested in taking another UrbEx Phototour with the same tour company. I have asked when the next Heilstätten am Grabowsee tour takes place, since they mentioned that there are two possible dates later this year. It looks from their website as if they will be 27.11 and 11.12 but I need to confirm this. Everyone interested please post your interest here, so that we can estimate the number of participants. Note that at some point we will have to pay (in advance), so posting interest here should be closely followed by clearing the weekend in your calendar and examining flights, if relevant. We will try to decide on one of the two as soon as possible, maybe even this week. Note that both these dates are Sundays...
Regarding the date for the next meeting: 27.11. (or better 26.11.) is probably possible for me (but not 100% sure at the moment), 11.12. is definitely not possible.
So, is anyone else able to meet 27.11? I can ask the tour company about 26.11, but their existing tours on those two dates were meant to be the last two days for Grabowsee this year.
Carsten, I really cannot say anything. I have to concentrate on my move to Berlin early next year and see what will happen until then. Don't count on me until February 2012, although it can be possible that I will join short term to one or more meetings. I just cannot plan right now, sorry.
Okay, so no Jonas, probably no Heinz, maybe Boris, this is not looking promising I will try to get myself into a tour on 27.11, or 26.11 if possible, and will simply let people know when I go, in case they can join. It may be that the organized meets have to take a pause until the new year, unless lots of others suddenly jump in and commit.
I am partial to Saturday meetings over Sundays, and I cannot say that I have been overexcited by the company's images?. I have sse pics of decommissionned hospitals/asylums/prisons which were spectacular, but apparently not this one. Am I missing something?
Great images, Carsten! I was struggeling with the room in your second image a lot, did not want to take the obvious image and failed. Your picture is great though and looks how I wanted to capture that room. Which lens? I see some distortion on the left edge of the white cupboard.

27.11. is fine for me, 11.12. is not sure yet and depends on when exactly (I have appointments in the morning and the evening; afternoon should work).
In case you missed my post, Carsten: I would like to join you on 27.11.!
Here are some photo links. I think this one is more about the spaces than about the details. The surrounding trees probably means some HDR or flash work, to get inside/outside balanced.

I have canceled the rent contract for my company's premises by December 31, 2011. So the crucial phase for the intermediate storage of my complete inventory will begin mid November. It is possible that everything goes totally smooth, but I have to be prepared for a stressful phase also. I just can't commit for any fixed dates now.
Ah, Markus, great! I was beginning to feel alone Maybe Boris can as well, and then we are well on the way to a nice group size. Could you also make it on the 26th?
Philippe, I would prefer Saturdays too, but I am unsure if it is possible for this location, for this year. I will ask. Beelitz is probably more spectacular, but the tour group hasn't been able to make a deal with the owners yet, but they are trying and hopeful. Patience
Thanks Heinz! 21 Distagon, like all my shots that day. Yes, I am getting some distortion with this lens which is hard to correct. I guess I have to just align my mind and grow a mustache. I understand about your move, I am only making a summary, no judgement
