That 'ghost mall' vibe everyone loves is mostly just bad lighting, not some magic feeling
I've shot the Rolling Acres concourse in Akron twice now (once in 2019, once this past March) and the difference between a photo that gets 2,000 upvotes and one that gets 12 is usually just shooting at dusk with a tripod instead of a phone flash, which means half the 'haunting' shots people praise are really just underexposed and I'd rather see the ugly fluorescent-lit reality, so does anyone else shoot these places with the lights fully on?
