Description
In light of this getting almost 40 views for no apparent reason. . .I changed the title. Yeah yeah. Shhush.Edit For those who didn't realize it, the color version of this is something I submitted into my gallery back in December of last year. If you'd like to look, go here [link] Thanks!
End edit
Manip. . .I don't usually submit my manips. . .yeah but it was fun to do.
Constructive criticism appreciated!
If anybody out there feels you absolutely must use this as a stock image, just tell me, by the skies.

Totally believelable manip. I expect to see Christopher Walken (the scariest Headless Horseman EVER) to come thundering down that road towards me. Or from behind me. You never know. I like this so much, I think it would make a terrific print.

Oh no kidding. How much do I love that movie. He was definitely the scariest.
And thanks, btw. I'm glad it achieved an effect.

Thank-you. It has the right amount of creepy, I think.
I'm saddened by the obvious lack of zombies, however.

I looks like a scene from the movie. All 'cept the street sign.

heh, yeah. It was actually in a cemetery, and I was a little confused by the street signs myself. . .

What a great composition. I like the depth in the shot. BW was a good idea- I like it better than the color. Ever thought about toning it though? An area such as this needs to be re-visited. I see many possibilities at this place (with fog present). A figure or subject would be a good touch too, imo. Overall this is a great image to just stare at.

Thanks. I experimented with some toning when I was making the shot, and it looked nice, but I still prefered the black overall.
I totally agree, and I thought it when I was taking the shot. But when you are wandering around a foggy cemetery by yourself at 8 am. . .maybe it's good I didn't come upon anyone, lol. I definitely plan to visit it again; it's a cemetery a few towns over. Unfortunately, we only get fog like this in the coldest part of winter, in January. *waits patiently*

I do like it, I just wish it wasn't so pixelated.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
there are ways to diminish the degree of pixilation ..do you have Photoshop??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do at school, and soon at home I'll have photoshop CS2. I would love some tips! Also, when I get my computer at the end of the month (when I'm done building it, lol) I will probably be getting a scanner, and I really want to learn how to scan negatives. Do you know anything about that sort of thing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
if you wish to scan negatives slides and print i highly recommend the Canon 4200 f under $100.00 at Walmart .. I have it ..it is usb hookup and works better than some of the higher priced ones i had bought previously . I am gradually scanning all my negs and slides and transferring them all to cd's the Canon gets ten out of ten from me.

Oh good! I love Canon! *has a canon camera* I'll definitely check it out, I have been worried about how expensive scanners can be.
You always help me so much

it's a nice concept to it, but i think it's too dark. try adding some light to it. might look good in color, too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
[link] The color version! It is one of the most succesful photos in my gallery. Thanks. I liked the darkness more than the lighter version because it wasn't as pixelated.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the mist is easier to see in the color version though, which i like
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. And it was extremely foggy that day. Best morning to wander around a cemetery, right? *is a weirdo*

Me too, despite all the noise. Thanks Con!

Me too. And the fact that it is in a cemetery makes the mood A+ in my opinion, lol.

very nice.. the name takes away from it though.. if its for stock and no special meaning is behind it then it doesnt matter about the name.. a beautiful pic love the tone.. as for being dark it is a little but i like it like that ..
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I think it is a little too dark, but given the theme of the manipulation it was probably better to go more on the dark side. I really like this, despite moderate pixellation.
Nice job.

I don't know how to get rid of all the noooissse *whines*
Got any tips?
The darker actually works better with a cemetery. The image is just so pixelated and noisy and lame in color as well as this manip I just got sick of the photo. I wish I had a negative scanner.

ZPhotoshop has a noise reducer, its best if you try and reduce noise per channel.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Is that a new photoshop or something? Oh, maybe I should learn what channels are.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Channels are the separete colours that make up the photo, typically it's RGB or Red/Green/Blue. Channels are a key part of photoshop. I just started to understand the whole channel thing. lol

Aaaah. Maybe when I get my comp I can spend house on photoshop learning about channels

You can get photoshop for free
