The neighbours across the street have quite a Halloween collection in their yard, some of which I dropped on you last year.
When I went out with Dog to get a pic of the two motorcycles one evening, I was disappointed to find that there was no light on them.
The next day, on yet another dog walky, I thought of trying to shoot them in the daylight and just lowering the exposure in post to make it look like night.
The Original
I think it worked pretty well.
I extracted the subject from the original and asked for the elements that you see in the photo.
To be clear, I did the two edits in reverse order: AI first and my normal edit second. The AI version is impressive and fun, but I like my own plain version quite a lot. It has a different mood.
Maybe I will be able to do something similar with some of the other figures in that yard.
Great mob with your manipulations!
ReplyDeleteYou do have a scary objective with your Halloween themes! I'm happy with numero dos!
ReplyDeleteI do like the added elements in the AI version! Fun!
ReplyDeletePretty scary AI Halloween! That is pretty fun and I am so glad you are having a blast with it.
ReplyDeleteYou have too much time on your hands! LOL. Sorry. I know it's what you like to do.
ReplyDeleteI love your spectral version the most, but they're all fun.
ReplyDeleteCool!
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool display! I like it better than the ultra scary spooky ones.
ReplyDeleteThe second is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI like yours best.
ReplyDeleteI love this house! I would go riding with these two. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! And how very odd that they didn't put lights on it....
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are really very well done.
ReplyDeleteI am more of a “simple, toothy-grinned” jack-o-lantern sort of Halloween person. The more graphic and horror inspired Halloween decorations just make me feel rather “sad”.
I know my “old-timey “ thoughts are very much in contrast to the plethora of gruesome zombies, skeletons, etc that folks like now a day’s with all sorts of graphic gore.
My time must have passed, I guess.

I actually love the original. Your edit gets craftier too.
ReplyDeleteOh, very cool!!! Thank you so much for sharing this. And I want to thank you for your tip on how better to capture the moon in photos with my cellphone, I really appreciate it so much!
ReplyDeleteWell done. The bikers are great!
ReplyDeleteYou really do like your spooky stuff!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive! Yes, let’s see what happens next.
ReplyDeleteI actually like the daytime version where I can see everything. My nighttime vision is very poor!
ReplyDeleteIs the AI version the one with the headlights and the wolf? I like the other one much better. It reminds me of an old song: Ghost Riders In The Sky. The daytime version is good too.
ReplyDeletehahaha, if something like that happened to me, I would die of fear :))
ReplyDeleteKind regards from my country Slovenia, Andreja!
Shooting them in daylight and then pulling the exposure down is a clever workaround, and it does look like a real night shot. I’m glad you made the AI one first and your own edit after, because that makes your version feel like the real thing. Curious what you’ll do with the other figures in that yard.

You do have fun with your photography and we appreciate the results.
ReplyDeleteThere is a house in the village near here with their yard absolutely 'chock-a-block' with those plastic inflatables, and they repeat with Christmas ones. One wonders how and where they are stored in the off season!
ReplyDeleteYou have way too much fun with AI!
