Photo walks for me sometimes involve a minor level of urban exploration of manmade structures, both abandoned and active, that have a story, detailed components, and unique interesting designs in a manmade environment.
Often, my favorite time for these explorations is a Saturday afternoon when the natural light of the day is brightest, into the twilight hours, when there is a mix of artificial lights mixed with the changing natural light. It is also a time of recreation from family play in the daytime, to a more adult dinner and nightlife time.
Early Sunday mornings are another time I enjoy urban exploring but for entirely different reasons. It is a time when the urban landscape is relatively empty and quiet. I have gone before sunrise, to catch the changing morning light illuminating all the manmade structures and as people begin to emerge into the scene.
Unlike street photography, my images at these times focus only on the inanimate manmade objects I see of interest and not the human element active among them. I leave that part of it to others.
