wow... is it really a haunted house ? and is that real owl sitting at the gate ?

Haha maybe.....
The owl is a stone one - but I love how fitting it is for the photo and so pleased the house looked so run down & spooky... They also had squirrels and deers and things along the wall.

This one's clearly the most haunted!

This is beautiful. I love the long exposure has made everything soft except for the antenna.

Agree with Ray! Beautiful! One day I will learn how to do this long exposure thing!

Thanks for the comments

Sheri, it isn't hard to do at all. Just get a sturdy tripod and a remote trigger and go to town! This shot was actually an accident. I had originally gone out to try and get some star trails behind the tower. When I first got to the location I noticed that there was a lot of light pollution in the BG so I didn't think getting star trails would be an option, then a few random clouds showed up that were moving fast so I figured I take a test shot to try and judge how long of an exposure I would need and this was the result! I was really surprised when I saw the image playback but thought what the heck it works

If it helps at all my settings were: f/5, 25sec exposure, iso 400 shot on a 5d Markii

great shot

Fantastic shot author...Sky looks amazing...well done

I like the long exposure here, the clouds look unreal =)

Excellent shot ! Look great in b/w
