Thanks and you guessed right Peter, the camera was on a tripod (very much needed in these dark hallways) and for p23 I zoomed during the 6 seconds. I played a bit with how long to wait before starting to zoom as well as zoom speed. Quite a lot of exposures ended in the bin but this one and another one I posted earlier came out good enough to share here. p23 is a bit slower zoom through a smaller range than the one in "any kind of blur"

pegelli, I really like p23 giving a sence of speed and I am wondering how you did this. The exposure time is 6 seconds, did you zoom in or out to get this effect?

Nice research Addy

Here's my last installment

p23: When you start seeing the corridors below like this it's time to get out



p24: but then you need to dodge the bullets at the entrance gate

Thanks to Ivo I found it, the turret is of an M108 Self Propelled Howitzer.

Those showers could use a proper cleaning

Another hole in the roof:



The same entry with the paterns of the Marl - it makes you seasick when you focus on them!







the hole in the center



sideview of the hole made by the explosion



Another hole made by powerful german powder.



Another sleeping place.



more centered



Almost a ghost-house



Contrast between the concrete and the marl by a sidewards explosion.





The start of Crazy Harry's favorite place in the fortress (the most beloved figure in the show that always takes care of the show in a rather explosive way)...



This could be sold as a piece of Art - but of course the objectives where a lot worse than that - testing of destructive weapons.

Nice additions Ivo, especially the "inverted marl craters" and the other experimental induced rubble!

Let me add a few more

p15: Armoured / gastight door (to keep the mustard gas out)



p16: Decontamination shower



p17: Looking up the long stairs



p18: We were happy that we had guides with us, the signalisation down there wasn't very helpful

More to come

A small bunkerbuster hole (made by the germans during WWII doing tests without soldiers in there - they 'used' this place as a test-site, it seems there is a 2nd site in Belgium where such tests also took place) - and the structure of the marl becomes visible.











Find the hole
