Description
...there were countless staircases that led nowhere; a blind chimney that stopped short of the ceiling; closets that opened to blank walls; trap doors; double-back hallways; skylights that were located one above another; doors that opened to steep drops to the lawn below...Model: the Winchester Mystery House

"Hey Martyy! Hey Marty! We gotta go back! BACK TO THE FUTURE!"

Absolutely wonderful photo. I love the point of view. It creates such a mysterious and powerful vibe as you feel the mansion looming over you. I love it.
On a side note-- I've always really wanted to go there. Was it as exciting as you expected?

I was really tired that evening (and I'd already been there, anyway) but had a great time regardless because I was with a different group and had a more competent camera than what I'd used on prior occasions. The 'House itself is always daunting and impressive; tours move fast enough that it's difficult to see everything in one go.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, yes,I guess it would be expected that the tours would move quite quickly. Though it's a shame because I have a tendency to want to stare at things that I find interesting for a while, lol.
Well, thanks for sharing that with me. I was quite interested

Awesome shot! that's right by my town, so to see a local shot like that, is really cool! did you use any special filter or lens? this pic look a tad grainy, but in a good way, it's not the least bit blury, and the angle's awesome!(it looks really creepy too!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Naw -- no special filter. I used the 10mm end of a 10-22mm lens (ultra-wide angle) and shot up from a low perspective (hence the distortion). It's admittedly a combination of two exposures: a longer one for the clouds, as they were only barely illuminated, and a shorter one for the House itself.
Thanks!

how do you get soooo much linear distortion? it works
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
An ultra wide-angle lens (~16-35mm) + shooting up (around 30-45 degrees) from low vantage points (2 feet from the ground or so, in this case).
Thanks!

Astonishing work yet again. I may as well fave your whole gallery, each peice impresses me so much.
BTW, I noticed one of your photos is being used on deviantarts commercials, thats cool!

Is it possible for someone else to make an ad with your pictures, or is someone ripping you off?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Well more so those ad's that you get on a full page when you're not signed up to DA (or not logged in) it had the cat DD scream on it, and something about buying prints and how it's good lol.
Maybe if you log out you'll see it!

Whoa. It was the first thing I saw when I logged out. Crazy.
Thanks for telling me!

Crisp as all hell, like a pencil sketch trying to be a photograph.
*pokes his ear absently*

This'd be far more impressive as a pencil sketch.
Thanks.

'Kay, I really like this for many reasons. The tones! The tones! Ah, the tones. Goes fantasically (good word) with the colours, which are oh-so-fitting. And the angle is lovely, and its awesome how the image looks warped - what lens did you use? I reeeeeeeeeeeallly like it. Its great. And captures the whole creepy, scary mood. Love it.

I used a 10-22mm (~16-35mm) lens. I covet increasingly wide angles.
Thanks a lot!

You made the house pose for you!!! I wish it had been that imposing and dark when we were inside. I guess it was dark but still. Let's sneak in. I miss you so much already!!

We didn't nearly fulfill our usual trespassing quota last weekend -- all the more reason I was excited to see you again before we'd even left. I miss you, too.
