Stairs
Because of the bad weather we needed to stay a bit longer in Belgium as planned. We took some photos of an abandoned mansion today. It was breathtaking seeing this beautiful stairs combined with the fallen light.
Abandoned Funpark
Cold, snow and windy. I went to an abandoned funpark in Belgium with my friends today. Making photos with snow on the ground was a challenge.
Workroom
I was blinded by the incoming light when I entered this workroom. It almost looks like a room from a prison. Scary, oppressive but so beautiful.
Colourful pigeon
This great coloured pigeon died on a not so colourful ground. It's sad to see this bird, what means to be a flying happyness, lifeless on a cold ground.
Underground
Finally, I had some time for my main hobby this weekend. We (me and Mathieu) went to an abandoned concrete factory (BMI Beton) and it was awesome.
Scars of the past
I went to an old coal mine (Zeche Hugo) with some friends today. It was really interesting to feel the history of this location.
Reflection of the past
Abandoned is all about the past. Sometimes it's cool to imagine how the activity was in an abandoned building like this coal mine. The photo is a bit messy, but it fits with the mood of this building.
Playground of the past
Today we went to an abandoned orphanage and I must say it was pretty lugubrious. This photo was taken in front of the big orphanage. EDIT: The clouds have some 8bit problems:(.
HDR Edit Tutorial
I often get questions about how I edit my photos like the one in this tutorial. It's difficult to explain how I edit a photo, because every photo needs it's own way of editing. There are many ways to Rome, but there are a few editing techniques I use in every photo. I will explain these techniques in my first tutorial:
