Haunted Waltz

Dee Boylan, 8 months ago

Spooky! Especially in the setting it was taken….could read a lot into this one in terms of metaphores….you know…”the day was just a blur of happiness”...hehe

Damian, 8 months ago

Hi Dee, hehe, nice, I like that – “blur of happiness”!

memory, 8 months ago

Wonderful effects, creepy vibe. Something about the heavy decor of the interior makes this the perfect backdrop for a story involving some kind of ghostly tale.

Damian, 8 months ago

Thanks Katrina! The location certainly had atmosphere that would make for a great ghost story lol! The whole place has more of a rustic/rural homestead feel to it, but this passage was great.

kaylarenee, 8 months ago

memory is so right!, i love things like this! nicely done!

Michelle Hitt, 8 months ago

Very cool. Keep up the good work!

:-)

Kym Breeze, 8 months ago

Damian, 8 months ago

Thanks kaylarenee!

Thanks Michelle!

Damian, 8 months ago

Hey Kym, glad you like it :)
That’s funny about it feeling surreal! There’s no time to think about it in the lead up, and none at all on the day, so it’s only after that you get time to ponder LOL!

Damian, 8 months ago

Cheers Kalb, glad you like it! This place was just oozing atmosphere.

Thanks Basia, I like that ‘spooky yet beautiful’ :)

Very fast at times Glen, cheers!

Damian, 8 months ago

sillygirl, 8 months ago

Deborah Parkin, 8 months ago

Nice ghostly action shot : )

Jessica King, 8 months ago

Nice stuff Damain :)

Leia, 8 months ago

I love so much about this photo, even the framing and the title are good. What a unique capture Damian, it looks great!

Damian, 8 months ago

Thanks Julie LOL!

Thanks Deborah, I hope they like them, I haven’t finished getting all the photos ready for them yet (nearly done though – I may be being too fussy LOL!)

Thanks g hammond, glad you like it!

Damian, 8 months ago

Thanks Jessica :)

Hi Leia, thanks! This idea was something I wanted to try as soon as I saw the passageway LOL! The poor bride was spun into dizziness and had to have a couple of pauses to recover from me saying ‘that’s great, now spin so the veil flies out’! heheh.

Wendy Crouch, 8 months ago

Great movement and beautiful backdrop! Nicely done!

Karen Cougan, 8 months ago

Kristy Lee, 8 months ago

FAN TAS TIC!!

So good I had to literally seperate that into the three syllables!! :)))

Congrats on feature…absolutely deserved applause

Damian, 8 months ago

Thank you Wendy, Karen, Jeff, Paul and Kristy (ooo, three syllables, nice!). Glad you guys like it!

Susan Trigg, 8 months ago

Very effective – my first thought when I saw this was that the bride was a sort of dream or an intangible that he couldn’t hold on to, as in joy just a fleeting moment

Damian, 8 months ago

Thank you Susan, that’s wonderful! I’m sure she’s more of the dream than the intangible in reality, but I love that take on it.

Rob McDonald, 8 months ago

I love the sence of movement. did you use a tripod?

Dave Sandersfeld, 8 months ago

Nice swirl, very creative, scene was a excellent choice. Well done!

skunk, 8 months ago

You should enter this into the Chllenge Cafe competition for Motion.

Damian, 8 months ago

Thanks Rob, and yep, certainly used a tripod. Just a bit too dark to try this as a hand-held!

Thanks Dave, I really wanted to try and get a nice swirl from these shots!

Hi skunk, thanks for the heads up, I’ll go have a look!

Jeremy Harrington, 8 months ago

SNik, 2 months ago

long-exposure capture looks especially great in this hotel-like kind of environment where people come and go. this produces a really ghostly look. great capture, Damian. thank you for taking interst in my works. cheers! Nikolay

missmunchy, about 1 month ago

so cool! i love motion shots like this…well done!

Damian in reply to SNik’s comment, about 1 month ago

Thanks Nikolay! When I first saw the location I knew I wanted to play with slow exposures. Haha, it’d be good to go back again without the time limits of a wedding!

Damian in reply to missmunchy’s comment, about 1 month ago

Thanks missmunchy, glad you like it :)
