Nightmare! by John down under

Adelaide, South Australia



House on fire: you'd better hope it's just a nightmare!!!


This is not a composite, but from a single shutter release using two separate flashes, then colourised in Photoshop. This one is almost done with smoke and mirrors, but, thankfully, not quite! ;o)




PS How do you like my self-portrait? ;o)



Minolta DiMAGE A1
8s f/11.0 at 13.3mm iso100 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Very atmospheric! That "floating head" effect is quite nightmarish . Well done

John, the friendly ghost ?

Looks like one of those ants finally got you! I think maybe an ant head in place of yours may have been a bit scarier. I think the Light Pole has this one beat, but this one is cool in its own way.

Nicely done! It really does have a nightmarish look to it.

John,
Don't know how your singing voice is, but you have a great cover here for your first CD. Very nice translucent effect that works well. You'll have to share some setup details.
