Playground of the past
Today we went to an abandoned orphanage and I must say it was pretty lugubrious. This photo was taken in front of the big orphanage. EDIT: The clouds have some 8bit problems:(.

    He my friend, this one is good - i think you could choose some colorblend to spice up this scenery. But anyway, nice to see how the ND10 works. Stay dark ...

    A fantastic creation, a really moving capture of this orphanage. The dark contrasts and lighting set the somber and mysterious mood. Excellent work!

  • James Irwin // 2009-07-26 06:19:48

    Wonderful capture. So ominous and yet so innocent.

  • Claus Petersen // 2009-07-26 09:40:47

    The combination the the little bike thing and the abandoned house makes a really cool contrast in this shot!

    I think the bike in front of the abandoned house looks a bit scary. But it's a great image with excellent contrasts and light.

    Playground of the past indeed, but I must confess, my first reaction to this house was the remember Freddy Kruger's place (From The Elm Street movies)
    Scary place, and those bikes only add to the creepiness.
    Awesome result.

    @ Ilan
    Thanks Ilan! Freddy Krueger is my hero, haha. Great to hear your thoughts.
    Thanks for showing your face again:)

    The race of the clouds, the composition with the toy, this black and white very dark: the house seems inhabited by the past. I regret just a lighting too hard on the tricycle.

  • Alex // 2009-07-28 19:15:13

    Un encuadre de lujo, seguido de un tratamiento espectacular, el detallle del triciclo roto en la entrada de la casa encantada es brutal.
    Saludos.

    L'opposition de la course des nuages et de cette scène statique joue à merveille.
    Superbes composition et traitement.

  • Nicki // 2009-09-15 13:23:52

    Dude? Hope everything is right in your "wasteland"? Cheers ^Nicki^

  • Dr.Ozdi // 2009-09-16 19:07:41

    Uh, very strong snap...the most depressive scary playground I have ever seen, for sure.
    Great capture!
