Artist's Comments

No, it's not really abandoned, but for now it is. The tourists hasn't arrived yet, so it's all sunny and on the edge of summer, but still quiet. It's like the calm before the storm. Well, I thought it was perfect adding a cold and dark apocalyptic atmosphere to this piece of photography. I don't know what you think, but I kind of like it. It looked boring in its original colors, so I changed it with a few adjustments in Photoshop.

Thank you for watching, please leave a comment!

I really like the style you have added to this. It does indeed have a bleached out post apocalyptic feel to it. But also the kind of colouring and tones we all have after looking at the sun for a while. I love the world in those tones :D

No, it's not an hdr photo, even though I've been experimenting with it sometimes. I was shooting in raw format (.nef file format, with Nikon D80) and adjusted the colors through Photoshop's integrated raw format program. After that I was playing around with the b/w tool and the selective color tool. I don't know the specific settings, because I just played around until I found something I liked. Thank you very much for the comment by the way. I really appreciate it. :thanks: :)
