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.

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.

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.

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? -

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.

If I had a monkey...
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?
