House on the Hill
I had passed this house many times while driving and had always vowed to take a photo of it, but never got round to it. This house is next to a main road, and I thought that night time would be the best time to get a shot of it. I got there at about 11pm, and it was very creepy there at that time, even though there were cars going past.
For this shot, I set up a tripod and had my flash off camera. This is a long exposure (20 or 30 seconds) and I used the ‘painting with light’ technique. I activated the shutter remotely then walked past the front of the house firing the flash multiple times. I have done some editing work in Lightroom and Photoshop to really bring out the creepy quality of this decaying home.
The house is at the top of Main South Road, O’Halloran Hill, South Australia.

I know the feeling Alex! It’s still there now (I drive past quite often as my Parents & some friends of mine live up that way). It regularly has Graffiti on it, but it is just as regularly cleaned. I actually stayed on the opposite side of the fence to take this shot. :)
