The first image was taken inside the trunk of a tree and looking up. The other two are either side of the same hollow tree.
No filters or lights, although I did do a little colour manipulation in Photoshop.

Aha - clever approaches to photography - if you carry on hiding in trees, you might get into the history books.

That Dick was full of cheek and bravado which eventually led him to the gallows.

Oh yes, I've heard about the one in Edinburgh. Nearest camera obscura to me is in Bristol on top of the Clifton Downs. I could stick one on my roof!

I couldn't see anything in Pic 1 either although I understand it better having read your answers to the above comments. The others get scarier - there is something especially spooky about Pic 3.
-

You may have to think outide the envelope with picture 1.

Picture 3 really is my favourite; it has a certain menace I find...

ooh I daresay...I'm crap at all that sort of stuff..though I did manage to get a pic of daughter on top of a strange rock formation in the middle of the sea...very badly once....and that was that....

It's a case of learning and applying techniques Mum: you've a great eye artistically, so it's a case of mastering the technicalities. I bet you'd be good at it too, once you found your way around.

I trust Tinks wasn't attempting to be a female version of Canute?-

Quite spooky. I trust the red. was your addition? I really must learn how to do more with my photo sofware, but it seems so complicated and time consuming.
Maybe I should look for a night class or something.

Yes I cut out the sky and overlaid a gradient background layer with the tree. A little manipulation to force some shade/highlight and some colour manipulation to the tree layer.
What have you got available in the way of photo software GB?

Is so similar!!!!
Really awesome, weldone Usk

- Thursday, 29. Mar, 2007 @ 03:26:01
The Scream, yes. The third picture reminds me of it. The artist was Norwegian (Edvard Munch).

Glad you like them Kiki - and yes, I'll keep onposting.

You'll have to negotiate - anyway, you'll be up on the roof regularly, like a father Christmas, because you'll need to clean the lense.

If you have a shed, that'll be lower and you can perform your trick photography from there instead. Alternatively, make a hole in the shed roof and work from the inside out as one usually does with periscope type viewing.

No shed I'm afraid, so that one's a non-starter.

My dear friend, your vision are very inspiring and fearsome, please do understand that the cause of fear is nothing else but darkness or ignorant. Specifically ignorant of ones own constitutional nature of the self. thank u, Lesley

Hello!
Well yes I think you're right. Fear of the unknown at least is usually based on ignorance.

Until I saw pix 2 and 3 I couldn't see a tree! I have one of those eyesights that don't see some of the clever stuff in multicoloured mosaic type pictures and it takes me a while to see a 3-D that is generally two or one dimensional to me.
I have just had another quick look at pic one, and for all the world it appears to me to be a mass moving in a crater. It is therefore, difficult to be afeared by what cannot be observed.
I do like the pictures very much. Did you use filters or lights?
