Follow the eerie path of Fall trees intensified by creepy mist, bats, bones, spiders, ghosts and inclement weather. Turn to midnight and have your sound on to immerse yourself in this spooky excursion. Approaching the house you will encounter a beware sign, this is your last warning! This haunted house is not for the faint of heart. Haunting footsteps as you approach the keeper at the entrance. Entering there is a spell library to your left, and disturbing dining to your right. Again, warning before you go upstairs! Disturbing images of horrific endings may not be appropriate for some guests. Exit quickly through the green house to the right, but not too quickly to grab your $1 gifts along the way. Find lots of spooky buys, and gifts to decorate your own Halloween projects.

Had a lot of fun shooting this with my girlfriend. She was just working in the studio one evening and I had my gear with me and decided to shoot something real quick.

Active Assignment Weekly : August 25 - September 1 :Back to School

Take a shot that represents Back to School to you.

WIT: Not much imagination in my submission for this assignment. This early morning backlit bus is crying because summer is over. Post-processing consisted of cropping tight to the bus and intensifying the clarity and adjusting the contrast.

A fine February day after heavy rain. The farm in the dip is flooded. Scottish Borders. The winter sun shining from the west intensifies the colours.

We had some wonderful weather during our latest visit to Cornwall, and the old saying, "Red sky at night, shepherds' delight" proved to be accurate on more than one occasion. This shot is straight out of the camera, and was taken just to the north-east of Looe in south-east Cornwall. The sky was literally changing every few seconds and the red intensified for a few minutes after the sun had disappeared from sight.

The meaning of tulips is generally perfect love

Tulips are by far my most favourite flower.

I am fascinated by their beauty from the moment they start to bloom and open, to way beyond their prime.

As these flowers mature, the colours intensify and they start taking on delightful new formations...

Romancing my viewers with a softer focus.

Thanks for peeking

Happy 2015 Everyone!!

I started riding motorcycles on a lightly-used Kawasaki Ninja 250, but a few months later I traded it in for a used Ducati Monster 620 dark, which I will always remember as a lithe nimble back road companion. My Ducati is long gone now, but I still stop to photograph them :))

2014 was an incredible year for me photographically:

I started the year framing level as I always had, and dabbling with Nik SilverEfex

During the year I joined Flickr and I tried out and blended non-level framing and all manner of filter/slider post-processing into my photography and workflow.

Next year I hope to incorporate layers and masking, and the use of flash into my imaging toolset.

-

I’ve had the most kind and incredible support from the Flickr community and my Flickr friends!! I really appreciate all of you and you’ve inspired me to try things photographically that I’d never have imagined in 2013. I hope I can provide you with better and more interesting work in 2015.

Again: thank you all and may your 2015 be full of adventure and love!!

After witnessing an inversion across Hope Valley, I was treated to a memorable sunrise. The cloud cover which caught some slight pinks only served to intensify the sun's golden rays.

Patiently awaiting the arrival of Spring.

Spring it on!

The pink color intensifies and contrasts nicely with the purple clouds below and the blue twilight above.

A cloudy day can help intensify colors in the forest. These little saplings were irresistible.

Lightly speckling the waters at Rocky River Reservation, an afternoon snowfall intensifies. Photo taken two years ago today in Northeast Ohio.

The east window in St Mary's, Amersham, featuring some unusually old glass. Originally in Lamer House, Wheathampstead, and later moved here, the piece was executed in 1630 by Abraham van Linge and his oldest brother Bernard, window painters from Emden in East Frisia (now Germany), who did the bulk of in England between the 1620s and 1640s. According to buckschurches.uk, "They painted at a time when stained glass was losing its popularity in favour of their method, the usage of vitreous enamels on glass as a blank canvas that were then fired. Lead lining is used to hold together pieces of glass."

They originally worked in France, but left as persecution of Protestants intensified around 1621. His work is visible in three Oxford college chapels.

St Mary’s Church is a Church of England parish church of the Diocese of Oxford in Old Amersham, Buckinghamshire, and a grade I listed building.

The site of St Mary's Church has had Christian associations for many centuries. Early missionary monks of St Augustine and St Birinus – the Apostle of the West Saxons – travelled via the Roman Road known as Akeman Street, converting the local population to Christianity and baptising them in the River Misbourne. A place of worship has existed on this site since around 1140. The present church dates from the 13th century with additions and extensions in the 14th and 15th centuries – the tower dates from the 15th Century.

The parish has connections with the persecution of the Lollards in the early 1500s when a group of locals known as the Amersham Martyrs were burned at the stake on the hill overlooking the old town. The Amersham Martyrs Memorial was placed on a hill overlooking the church in 1931. In 1553, Scottish reformer John Knox preached his last sermon at Amersham before going into exile to flee the wrath of Queen Mary. Despite these associations with early Protestant radicalism, the parish has a moderately High Church tradition today.

The patrons of the parish are the Drake family, the Lords of the Manor of Amersham, related to the famous naval captain Sir Francis Drake. Around 1637, Sir William Drake purchased the Borough of Amersham from the Earl of Bedford. There are numerous memorials to Drake family members in St Mary's Church. Several descendants of the Drakes have served as rector of the parish, including Rev. Edward Drake, who commissioned a major restoration of the church in 1890, and the external appearance of the church dates from this time.

The mist intensified the colors. This was not photoshopped. The orange looked this intense.
