After spending the day with some fellow Keystone State group members at Rickett’s Glen, we looked for “The House on the Left” on the way home. This old abandoned place is on Route 487, a rural road near Benton, PA. Taken 10/26/09
I combined two layers – one clear and one out of focus and an airbrush eraser to create this image.

Excellent in B&W Idieter. Somehow it doesn’t look as ghostly in mono which is surprising. It looks quite approachable here.

love the textures on this building, and how decrepit it is.
great tonal range too. i would’ve worked on the out of focus parts a bit more though, just align them a little bit more so it’s even thru out on the tree areas
on the upper part, other than that, it’s perfect!! when you said ‘house on the left’
i was wondering if this was the actual house from the movie ? it’s crazy. i’ve been hunting for places like that here in vancouver, but they’re way out of reach.

This must have been a beautiful place and full of life at one time. So sad and lonely it looks now. But the B&W works so well its a stunning photo.
