A companion piece to “Yoooooo Hooooo???” taken on July 12, 2009 on Route 30, west of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.

For the main image, I was using the Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm vr Nikon lens, shutter 1/1600, aperture 7.1, exp -.33, iso 320. Post included levels, dodging, burning, selective coloring in Photoshop then addition of three textures, one of which was my own. In addiion, the house image was combined with one of my own sky shots, taken in my backyard in Maryland.

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Oh, intuitive, clever Rosemary!!!! you “saw” Dorothy and Toto!!!! They were in my mind when I put this one together, for sure!!!! In fact, I was thinking of titling it “Auntie Em!!

  • Polly Peacock

    Polly Peacock

    Awesome Lois – I love the feel of this – somehow it should feel haunted, but to me it is inviting an intriguing – excellent job!! :))))

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Hey Polly, thank you!!!! I think if I had gone with golds or reds as a theme color instead of blues it would have seemed a bit more ominous .. but I wanted it to seem more forlorn and forsaken than scary.

  • elisab
