That's a wicked picture. Looks more like a movie set/high-quality 3D render, the lighting is just perfect.

Yes, I added a couple of curves adjustment layers with hand painted masks, since the building was extremely dark underneath the trees.

Stephen King said that writing and reading is like telepathy. Thoughts from one mind traveling to another. I guess photos are like that too. :)

Nah, appearently from what I can still remember...I was yelling at my sister for taking such a bad picture.. or praising her for such a good one. Not sure which, either way, it was only part of it.

I'm afraid of that house. All it'd need for me is for some thing I can't really see to peek out those curtains and I'd be halfway across town in thirty seconds. ;D

Really well done.

Post by: LegoLord on January 09, 2010, 08:27:53 pm: The only thing scary about that house is the potential for filthy squirrels and vermin, mold, and maybe some disease.

Post by: Calculus on January 09, 2010, 08:47:54 pm: And sketchy people camping out. And its absentee owners (who I've seen before at the house) are certainly armed.

Post by: LegoLord on January 09, 2010, 09:05:49 pm: Oh. In that case . . . maybe if they were there and I could see them I'd be scared to walk by. If they weren't I'd just be scared to go in.

Post by: Calculus on January 10, 2010, 06:55:29 pm: Not scary, but I stopped by an abandoned store this evening and took this.
