CHECK THIS OUT: Weird lights in the woods

[eljustino]

These have been "cranked up" quite a bit, and I'm planning to do the next attempt sometime in the next few weeks in order to get better exposure so I don't have to "crank them up" so much. Note that these have not been retouched or composited in any way - just brightened using levels/curves and sharpened. All effects are just lighting.

I almost don't like posting these cos I've never seen anything like them and I'd hate to see someone else do better ones before I do my next batch! But that's just mean.

I have a couple more I wanted to upload, but limit is 2 and these were the smallest of the 4 files.

Multiple exposures - nice ! I like those !
A suggestion - try to take two pictures of the forest, one in focus and the other one completely out of focus (they have to be exactly the same pictures, from the same location and with the same composition to preserve the primary shapes and colors), and then combine them together. It may yield quite a nice effect !

I like them. On the second one I think it would of worked better if you could get someone to hold that thing up for you and maybe them dressed in all black so the camera doesnt see them and then you just stand behind it throwing a shadow like your entering from another gateway.....hope that makes sense....anyways good work.

Yeah I certainly figured out the "dress in black" bit!

Also certainly want to have someone with me. A dangerous place to be wandering around with an expensive camera.
