One shot from outside and one from inside.
The inside shot was under natural light in very dark conditions.
I intentionally kept this image dark, as that was the shooting condition.
The cable through the window links both shots.

Inside and Out...The same Subject....
These are two shots of the same window.
One shot from outside and one from inside. The inside shot was under natural light in very dark conditions. I intentionally kept this image dark, as that was the shooting condition. The cable through the window links both shots.
What does that button do....??

Gorgeous Marty! Nice photo's too! I absolutely love the cable linking the two images together. The treatment is first rate and my eye feels like running around the image finding all the interesting elements to look at. Top job. I couldn't click the button to make this post quick enough! ********** - that's ten stars on a five star system..well done! Liam =] [/compliments]
Number two does it for me, I can almost see a ghost or skeleton sitting by the window.
The image of a ghostly old woman knitting as time just passes by. I need a drink.  Life is

Thanks for all your great comments.
Just a few answers. I didn't put the cable through the window, luckily State Rail had left it there for me, it was a power cable of some sort. I am also a bit unhappy with the blown window, but if I exposed for the window the rest of the room would be black. And being a lazy photographer it was too much effort to get my flash out of my backpack.  Plus I did want to keep the very dark look of the room.
Today at this location the police arrived and watched me closely for a while, I just ignored them and kept on shooting, after all the gates were open and the 'keep out' signs were old and faded so badly I couldn't read them.

I knew someone would pipe-up with "blown highlight in the window"!
There's nothing wrong with blowing highlights. As long as you are aware of it and it doesn't have a detrimental effect - which IMO it doesn't. In actual fact, if there was detail thru the window i think your attention would be drawn away from the haunting interior.
Cheers Liam,
would have been better if the the window was letting some light rays through, maybe add to the feel.. But it was dull and raining outside sadly. I just looked at your site, you have some great images on there.... Marty What does that button do....??
Cheers Marty!
My site seriously needs an upgrade but I've been so busy for the last 8-10 months I just haven't had a chance..plus now a lot of the work I do can't be shown until after it's been used which makes it a PITA! I love the light beams thru dust look you've mentioned and agree it would make this image zing just that little bit more - but I love it as is anyway! Maybe as photographers we should all carry little bags of dust to throw around and make light rays?!! Liam =]
Great idea about the pocketfull of dust to throw....
Not sure if that would be ethical...for a photographer. I should have just jumped up and down, there was many years of dust in there. Cheers Marty What does that button do....??
Well maybe if somebody else threw the dust and I just captured the image on my camera, that would probably not be considered un-ethical.
