 Actually its just me - walking out of my Brooklyn basement midway through a very long exposure. I tried the space alone but it just wasn't creepy enough. Shot in RAW format, adjusted brightness and contrast, cropped, and saved as a jpg, otherwise thats it.

Way Kewl! This place look eerie without the ghost. Very nicely done. <8>

Interesting shot. I'm definitely not going down there. Focus is a bit soft.

That's well done. I tried for something a bit similar, with less success. My spectre was too hard to see; yours is just right, and very convincing. 8

Nice duotone. The ghost is a bit faint, and disappears on my screen though. :)

This leads you down the stairs, but not into the corridor. Perhaps a slightly different lighting & shallower angle on the steps might have given this better composition. 5

Nice capture, you just got the model enough exposure to make it look like a ghost.. is this a fisheye lens ?

I like how you can just see the floor a the bottom of the staris. Then it fades away into the distance.

Great view and very fitting/well executed! 9

OK....thanks for the creepy image... :)
I do think though that you captured darkness in a very great and interesting way.
