Haunted

Haunted Hotel.

Canon 600D
ISO 400
f/5.6
Exp. 1/1000s

This photo gives me an uneasy feeling. The building looks menacing and the angle makes it look powerful. The derelict nature of the building adds to that haunted feeling. I think I'm becoming slightly obsessed with post production... is this a good thing or a bad thing? It definitely increases the impact of my photos... but when is a photo perfect in itself? Perhaps I need to pick up that film camera again, go back to my roots!

Wild Party

Wild House Party in Melbourne.

Canon 600D

ISO 400
f/4.0
0.3sec
Flash Fired

This was a photo from a crazy underground party in Melbourne, it was wild! Now my problem with this photo was do I like the one I did post production on (the one I've posted) or the original? I cant decide! I went for a grungy vibe with the post production and I feel it gives a better impression of what the party was like. The unedited version seems a bit too soft. Stronger contrast and harsher shadows makes this photo more underground/grunge/rock&roll. Very cool set up for the party, that's all cardboard on the walls with black market drawings on it. That skull is amazing!
