Thanks for participating in this Abandoned Commercial Detroit test page, currently we are testing feedback on 3 remastered locations. These locations are Ludington Magnet Middle School, M. M. Rose School, and Detroit Open School. By receiving this link you have been selected to participate and give feedback on the image, we would please ask you do not share this page with others if you choose to share the images please provide the original link to the page you are looking to send.
The goal of this test
Over the last week we have began reshooting some new locations and remastering some more notable schools on our page, these remastered do not use new equipment such as lenses and instead are remastered with the use of a tripod instead of a freehand shooting method, previously used.
We ask you provide feedback via text message or messenger screenshooting or telling your favorite shots of each location and why. Feedback and constructive criticism is appreciated as well.
We ask you visit the original page linked for each location and view the shots, done without a tripod to compare to the tripod shots on this page
