Villa Stockman

[heeftmeer]

I had this location a few weeks on my list and went there on sunday. Its the house of the father Stockman with a lot of details left. Some things were taken out allready by the owner last week. There where 8 urbexers in his house and was not amused.
Have to be quick for this locations.. destruction is going very fast. We did 4 houses like this all after eachother so we had a top weekend.

These are stunning! Number 5 is the one for me

Do you mind me asking how you processed this one? Looks very eye catching...

hmmm... not in two words.

A short handout.

I take the three images and put them into photomatix.
The tonemaped image is processed further into photoshop CS5
There I work with layers.
One image is mostly three layers.
The first layer I colourburn it and sharpen. Make a lenscorrection.
Make a new layer and put it in Topaz denoise. After that I bring it to Topaz adjust.
The third layer is a brown layer or black/white. I give it contrast and brightness.
After that I take parts of the three layers. With gum I let the colour shine through from the third layer till the first layer.

Thats a very short description of it. Sometimes one photo takes me an hour to get what I want so.. (or I am a slow worker haha)

Thanks for explaining your method, much appreciated. I can tell you spend alot of time on each photograph, the results speak for themselves though I think.

You really do shoot some stunning places

Always on the road looking for new places and offcourse exchange them with others. New places are very exciting. You never know what to expect there. The colonels house for instant. When all the lights in the house went on you almost get a heartattack. Or when there is alarm and what goes off.
Thats what keeps us from the street.
