Escaping Evil

[Ernicus]

Having a little editing fun on our works facebook page. I put up image 1 (the bottom image) and people are to edit it and send it in and "like" the best. Image 2 (the top image) is my rendition. Most likely have to click to see full image to see it all. Sorry if it's dark, used my laptop...aka...craptop.

Thought I'd share it here for fun.

I call it...

My take:



I'd torture helpless kittens if that would get me 2 hours shooting this place. Flipping amazing location.

I spent about 20 minutes shooting it from various perspectives. many were lying down in the front yard at what I thought was cool, only to see later the grass was just in the way that low. lol. I plan to revisit Here is a few from there, but I did not like any of them. The b&w was not conversions, back when I was using the monochrome setting in the camera, lol. If you have any ideas on ways to shoot it, I'm all ears as I do plan to revisit having learned a thing or two since then.

I think you should look for angles that better show the state of decay – your first photo here is the one that best accomplishes this. Also, if the sky is bland (photos 2 and 3) you should probably minimize its impact in the frame and work with the foreground instead – overgrown grass helps convey the abandoned state. If you have time, you could also get close to the house and shoot details, maybe working with the great textures that usually result from peeling paint. Just my two cents.
