This shot is taken in complete darkness. My model and I ventured out on a very cold nite down a very dark and spooky road to this beautiful old ruin.
The fresh snow provided the light, I set my camera on bulb on a tripod and used my cable release to fire the shutter. I whispered my instructions to my model " Don't move ... Don't move" She moved . I like the fact that the model is out of focus . It draws more attention to the house. I love the grain achieved due to the high iso 1600.
I love shooting at nite ... such a different perspective.
Thanks for looking
Coley

Great mood, and this feels as if I'm looking at a spirit although she is shown at full opacity, but the creepyness of the house and model go well together.
Way overexposed night shot.... that ended up with fantastic, eerie results. Perfect for the subject. I do a lot of night work, too and love it as well.
I love the contrast here you can almost feel the different textures on the building. I hope they don't knock this one down on you. I look forward to seeing more of this building from you.
First shot I've seen in this challenge with a person in it. It works. I think it would work without her in the shot as well, but it does add another element of interest.
Great photo, I really like the extreme contrast on it. It has a very Bates Motel feel to it, mixed in with a bergman film feel. The person in the photo seems like they might be a ghost of the one time resident of this mannor
one of the better ones of a really bad selection...the girl adds interest. Love it as a B and W and the look on her face looks 'urgent'...hope you get the blue 9
