Ghostly.. by maggiemae

Ghostly..

Ghost house!


Down south for another medical specialist appointment. Apparently I walk in too large a stride! I really don’t want to ‘mince’ but maybe it will help my weak muscles get stronger if I keep the stride small.
Three good things:

1This is FF - fairly fabulous! I put the camera speed on to 2000 and did HDR with 3 consecutive photos as we sped along the motorway at 95km/hr!
2. I got this one clear shot of a house I always look at on this journey. Bit dark so I made it darker. Be good on Black…

3. We can’t have the choc fudge pudding leftovers as I served the great “Jimmy’s Mutton Pies” I think Jimmy has died.
i thought this was a northy shot for a minute!

@kali66 mmmm - she does do a bit like this! She's very good though!
September 4th, 2018  
ff indeed! wonderful house with a very cool treatment
September 4th, 2018  
Looks even more ghostly on black!
September 4th, 2018  
Very effective!

You're telling me this us a moving shot....wow that astonishing! Looks a bit like the Psyko house! It simply glows on black! Hope the pies didn't kill him!

@happypat I was just practicing and chose the speed which turned out to be good but didn't let much light in of course! The pies used to be so delicious - spicy and not flaky pastry!

Amazing on black! Fav.

looks great on black. Amazing that you got this from a fast moving car.
September 4th, 2018  
Really pops on black and seems to have an inner light -- fabulous and very mysterious ! Fav

I’m always so proud when I get a good photo while flying down the road. We can’t go as fast as you. 75-80 mph is about it for us. This is a marvelous photo. Mutton pies, oh my!

@louannwarren 95km is only 59miles per hour, Lou Ann! You obviously go faster than us! Tell the driver its more economical to do a slower speed?
September 5th, 2018  
ooooh it is too !!!
September 5th, 2018  
@maggiemae alas, he goes the speed limit, well, 2 miles over. Ha!
September 5th, 2018  
ABSOLUTELY amazing A definitel FAV especially for the technicality of it!
September 5th, 2018  
@grammyn You could try this easily Katy - anyone can. I just chose the speed and the camera did all the rest!

au contraire, it looks like a cheery house to me. it's lovely and the darkness around it only magnifies its beauty. miss yolanda could be living there, for all you know. :-) aces!

@summerfield Come to think of it, Vikki - I did see a young blonde chick dancing around on that verandah!
September 5th, 2018  
Very ghostly… could easily bee the house in the book I’m sort of reading...
September 5th, 2018  
@bankmann I like your 'sort of reading' phrase! Keep trying but give your eyes a good rest!
September 5th, 2018  
Great light and composition in this neat shot
September 5th, 2018  
Quite spectacular capture...even more on black..
September 5th, 2018  
A magnificent capture and stunning processing. It is a beautiful house, fav!
September 5th, 2018  
Well seen and taken... looks like a house my Sister use to live in ... but not in the South..
September 5th, 2018  
@julzmaioro Its really a typical Victorian type house and it was moved here some many years ago!
September 5th, 2018  
great shot, magical - how was it 'moved'?
September 5th, 2018  
@jokristina Thats for you to find out and for me to know.... and I don't. A long while ago it was standing on temporary substructures!
September 5th, 2018  
Oooooh weird! Good that you have practical advice to help you proceed
September 5th, 2018  
@casablanca umm.....where am I proceeding from here?
September 5th, 2018  
A well captured drive by shot and such an interesting house. It looks so nice on black. fav
September 5th, 2018  
@onewing The original colour was a pale lemon, Babs and rather nice- I look at this house with its rhododendrons every time I go back home from Dunedin!
September 5th, 2018  
Very cool processing and great capture! It looks like a great house too! Fav.
September 5th, 2018  
@maggiemae Onwards with a smaller stride to feeling better! 😀
September 5th, 2018  
Awesome shot
September 5th, 2018  
teeny tiny fairy steps??
September 5th, 2018  
@maggiemae
Will do, Mam! :-)
September 5th, 2018  
Oooh, spooky. Wouldn't want to spend a night there on my own.
September 5th, 2018  
Simply brilliant!
September 6th, 2018  
Love it, love it, love it. Totally fab. BTW, I'm under strict physio instructions to take little steps too!
September 6th, 2018  
Such a lovely image. You did a great job capturing it so well!
September 6th, 2018  
@dide Actually I didn't know I'd captured it until it was downloaded and found to be so dark! Fast speed doesn't allow light to come in!
September 6th, 2018  
Your editing does give it a ghostly appearance!
