I am a Haligonian on a journey to the Dark Side.  by jgoldrup

I am a Haligonian on a journey to the Dark Side.

Less dramatically: I am on a public transit ferry going across the harbour from Halifax to Dartmouth. I'm not sure how long people have been referring to Dartmouth as the Dark Side, but I love it. I may end up making this trip 5X per week, so I think it is valid to include in my 'I am' series.

Edits: In photoshop, applied a 'ghost story' action (download at http://elestrial.deviantart.com/art/Ghost-Stories-Photoshop-Action-192944578)
This is super cool and I love this ferry, i find it fun, lol

I'm going to have to fav this. There's something dark and ominous looking about it, which I like. The fact that you can only see the back of these guys is intensely creepy, and so, for some reason, is their placement - which I know you didn't compose, but still cool. Kind of Stephen King novel cover'ish.

In the thumbnail I thought it was in a movie theatre. This is waaaay cool, dark and eerie. Love it and fav'd.

This is way too cool! I love how you edited it! The man in the red plaid shirt is positioned perfectly. This is awesome.

Soooo awesome Janna! The lighting and composition is fabulous...love the red shirt as an interest point and the way you've processed the photo gives it an eerie feeling! Fav!

Faved too. This one has the atmosphere nailed and the guy on the left is the murderer. Very nice processing choice!

Fav! the lighting and composition is so cool! I am just really drawn to this shot. Nice work!

Truly amazing! Instant fav. Wow for the atmosphere and the lighting. I've immensely enjoyed your shots over the last few weeks!

Cool composition and brilliant processing - it does have a spooky feel to it...

This is stunning! Amazing that you took such a simple, quotidian scene and turned it into something so interesting. Great use of those actions.

Very dark. That guy in the red adds just the right amount of color. Although, I first though he was relieving himself. :-)
May 13th, 2011  
It honestly does look like a ghost story! Completely and utterly spooky! A fav.

Very dramatic, Janna. Perhaps there is a light side at the end of the journey...

I love the tones, the way the seats look, the head and shoulders and the sad feel. Don't most serial killers wear lumber jackets? Fav...most definitely!

All I can say is.....that's freakin' awesome! :)
May 13th, 2011
