The Haunted Amusement Park - June 2012

I called Gaylord and got permission to take some photos. Do not trespass. Call Gaylord White first. He has tours.

It's been a few years since I've visited. Nothing much has changed. I don't like to hang around so I didn't get too many photos. Plus my light meter wouldn't work. It would meter 3 stops one way and then 3 stops the other way. I figured there was a message in that.

Color photos are taken with a Pentax K10D digital camera using my all purpose Pentax 18-250mm lens. Black and white were taken with a Mamiya RB67 using Kodak TMAX400 film and a Mamiya Sekor 150mm soft focus lens. For those who care about such things.

I think it looks like a beautiful calm place. Maybe haunted as many places are, but it looks like it's worth a walk through.

So your light meter was haunted. :) This is a terrific series and you wonderfully captured that haunted feeling. Voted for each image and the gallery. V
