I stumbled across this place on the way to Eden, NC one day. When I saw the open roof trusses I knew I had to go there the first chance I got. When I finally did I wasn't disappointed by the view.
It looked like we weren't to be the first or last people to spend some time there. There was trash, old clothing, some questionable magazine pages, bullet casings, shotgun shells, broken televisions, and the creepiest part of all was "The Christmas Tree." The Christmas Tree was a huge fir tree that was adorned with different paper shapes with children's names on them. That was plain creepy.
It was hard to tell inside the old tin covered building which holes in the wall were from bullets/shells and which were just rusted through:
Luckily we found our way back to the road without meeting with any unsuspected suprises, but there was a creepy air about the place, almost like the feeling when someone is watching you while your back is turned.
I've been really busy with school work the past month or so, but here is a small update in the meantime before I can do a real post again.
This is compilation of some different processing I did to one picture I took at the old brick mill (full post next time):
Bottom to top steps:
1) Straight from Adobe Camera Raw
2) Photomatix used to fuse 3 photos into 1 HDR
3) My own LAB color processing done after photomatix
4) Nik Color Efex used instead of my LAB coloring
I hope this helps a few of you better understand how I approach doing HDR.
