Very interesting and "Dark". The eyes and the opening for the mouth give the building a life of its own. Very good one. I like it. Is it hard to do HDR at night? Have a great rest of the week. Sharon

Thanks Sharon... still figuring out HDR at night... obviously clouds get funky with the long shutter times, and I did have to clone out some stars that looked like streaks across the sky. But, I think the effects are cool regardless? Give it a try!! SirFin

hei Sir... like Sharon says - that looks like the building sent from the dark. Wonderful!

If you like some non HDR-Nighties .... just one click :)

cheers - Michael

Hey Michael, you do have some great night shots! Here's one I really like.

Did you plan it to turn out that way or just a bit of luck involved?

Best, SirFin from Tolkien's Two Towers

lol... good Mooooring Sirfin :)

Indeed: both of that! Id carried no tripod with me that evening so i used what was around. Chairs, walls, etc. Even the floor is helpful.

Then i used the self trigger ... and that guy started to walk. 4 sec later the work as done - with him as his own ghost in the picture. I did not expect excactly that effect - but i did knew something will happen.

Btw: the town besides that one where i live has developed mr. Tolkiens World up to 3 Towers

:))

cheerio... Michael
