Challenge: Scene It! (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4.0G IF-ED
Location: Farmington, Utah
Date: Aug 26, 2006
Aperture: f4
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/3
Galleries: Emotive
Date Uploaded: Aug 29, 2006

The inside of an old house in Pioneer Village, part of Lagoon Amusement Park. While this is not a direct recreation of "The Village", the furniture, tones, shadows and light from the back are very much in keeping with the movie. I also liked the empty rocking chair which was a recurring element in the movie.

Lately, my take on the challenges has been off. I expect this one will also be off, but I'll take that chance.

PP included Levels, B/C, H/S, Curves, Shadows/Highlights, USM (2 SETTINGS), crop, image size, canvas size and save for web.

Never seen this movie but the style is very promising, now I need to see it...

Geeez great shot, only improvement would have been a small draft and a bit of vacuum dust to let the light coming through the window really make the shot for you.

Very nice. The window is a little bright in my opinion.

Successful creation of a creapy feeling here - the light is very well done.

Cool low angle shot into the sunlight. It gives a really nice soft effect.

I would have tried shooting this as a wide angle to get it more as a movie feel.

This is a very pleasant image, but for some reason, I don't find it compelling. Nothing seems to be the direct subject with the possible exception of the yellow pot with the bed post taking a fairly large portion of this image.

Cool, is that a chamber pot? Not sure what that is in the bottom right corner. Excellent capture of the light through the window.

This does have the feel of the movie. Would have liked ot have a person inthe shot though. Nice picture overall.

Works for me. I saw the trailer enough times to get a sense that this photo is in keeping with the film. I like most things about the shot, except for the strange ropey type thing to the bottom right, which looks messy.

Can't say I saw a lot of shots of empty houses in that movie. The picture is a little too busy as well (none of their houses seemed to be so messy).
