Stairway to hell

[Silvermuir]

This was one of those shots when you realise the stairs you are standing on to take your main shot are in fact more interesting than your origional shot. This was light painted over a few exposures. Its one of my favourate shots so far, very Pan's labyrinth.

Its a great piece of work, i find myself drawn to walk up the stairs just to have a peep to see what is beyond. Just can't fault it.

It looks spooky. That's not a bad thing, just the feeling it gives me.

Have to agree with Rocket, great piece of work. I love the way the tree seems to be spreading it's branches like arms.

Thanks everyone, it needs a bit of tweeking but all in all im pretty happy with it.

Great photo! How much "tweeking" has gone into this so far?

Well it was three exposures as i remember, two on the stairway and one i had a friend fire the shutter while i was up the hill with a torch painting the tree. In post it was your usual sharpen and touch up with the brush in lightroom to bring up the exposure on parts. Then i added a green tinge to it because the stairs were that colour.

It was good fun, roaming around with my mate Dave and an ipod in the side pocket of my backpak playing some doors tunes. It was in the middle of nowhere under a railway bridge at 2 in the morning, and there were two railway workers that must have thought we were off our heads

Great work, I think it looks more mystical/fantasy rather than scary.

Cheers . it is without doubt the strangest set of stairs iv ever come across, out there all on their own on some random hill, totally neglected.

This is great! I have some friends in uni that are experimenting with this idea for their work

Love it what maybe would have been a nice thing to do would light paint an orange glow at the top of the stairway maybe up lighting the tree in orange
