If you are just starting out or established at urban exploring, tools can be a real benefit to safety and to documenting abandoned sites. Here's some of my recommends -
waterproof to 33 feet, tough, great pics
I have one I've used for 7 years and I adore it!
for aerial views
to protect from asbestos and other airborne particles
Adding color to video or camera with this device
in case you run into critters or dangerous types
in case there are nails, tacks, and broken boards
General rules
Always have someone on watch while you photograph
Adhere to "No Trespassing" signs
Get a tetanus shot, bring a first aid kit, and protect your respiratory system from asbestos and construction dust
Take the time to utilize the existing light instead of flash if you can help it as it adds more mood
Take part of a room or a piece of wallpaper or some smaller focus so the viewer gets the feel of the room
Shift perspective from height level to down on the ground looking up, up above, looking down, from a crazy angel
Don't steal
Never do this alone
